Tonight, Marc Giró will aim to captivate audiences once again with the latest episode of Late Xou, airing on La 1 of Televisión Española after La revuelta with David Broncano around 10:50 PM. The humor and interview show has announced its guest lineup, confirmed by Televisión Española, which includes several well-known personalities.
Among the highlights, Giró will welcome Raquel Sánchez Silva and María Escoté, both integral figures from the renowned talent show Maestros de la costura, which has been running for seven years. This season marks the first Celebrity edition of the show, featuring famous contestants such as Pilar Rubio, Eduardo Casanova, and Carmen Farala.
The evening is also set to spotlight the actress Mónica Cruz, who is participating in the aforementioned reality show. Cruz will join Giró to discuss lesser-known aspects of her personal and professional life.
A significant feature of this installment will be the legendary music duo Amaral, who have just released their ninth studio album, Dolce vita. The talented artists from Zaragoza will perform their latest single live on the show, adding a musical flavor to the episode.
To wrap up the evening, comedian Pepe Colubi will return to the program, continuing from his previous appearance where he had started the famed Proust questionnaire. Colubi is expected to share his thoughts on various subjects, promising engaging banter.
The timing is particularly important for Giró as he seeks to regain viewership lost to rival programs. Despite its promising start, Late Xou has faced ups and downs since its premiere on January 14, which attracted 1,184,000 viewers and delivered a 13.4% audience share. The following week saw those numbers drop to 11.7% and 1,033,000, and by January 28, the show was struggling with just 9.1% and 357,000 followers, following significant changes to the programming schedule.
There has been some recovery as we entered February, with recent episodes gathering around 794,000 viewers on February 5 (9.6%) and rising slightly to 861,000 and 9.5% on February 11. This slight rebound offers hope for the program as it competes directly with the finale of GH DÚO, one of the evening's strongest competitors.
Tonight's episode of Late Xou holds considerable stakes for Marc Giró and his team as they strive to stabilize and grow their audience engagement amid challenging competition.
