The episode, marking the last broadcast before the Christmas hiatus, features the beloved host Fabio Fazio alongside his co-hosts, including Luciana Littizzetto and Filippa Lagerbäck.

The show features several prominent figures, among them Richard Gere, who is making headlines not only for his acting prowess but also for his activism. The Hollywood icon joined Fazio to promote his new film, 'Oh, Canada – I tradimenti,' which hits theaters on January 16, 2025. This film, directed by Paul Schrader, revisits the collaboration between Gere and Schrader 44 years after their classic 'American Gigolo.'

Another highlight of the evening is the performance by the legendary Canadian crooner Michael Bublé, who fielded interest with his trend-setting holiday music. With over 75 million albums sold globally, Bublé's music continues to resonate with fans, especially during the holiday season with tracks from his bestselling album 'Christmas.' He recently released the festive tune 'Maybe This Christmas' alongside country-pop sensation Carly Pearce, demonstrating his versatile musicality.

Ficarra e Picone, one of Italy's cherished comedic duos, also took center stage, discussing their upcoming film 'L’abbaglio,' which continues their successful partnership with director Roberto Andò. This movie marks their second project together, following the acclaimed 'La stranezza,' which received significant recognition at various film awards.

Adding to the rich diversity of guests, popular television presenter Alessia Marcuzzi is set to join the show's lineup, promoting her new game show 'Red Carpet – Vip al tappeto,' which begins airing on January 9, 2025. Marcuzzi's engaging style and household appeal make her presence noteworthy.

The show extends beyond entertainment, also featuring significant discussions on humanitarian issues and environmental sciences with guests like climatologist Luca Mercalli and Don Mattia Ferrari, known for his work with migrants. They offer perspectives on current issues, aligning with the show's intent to combine entertainment with informative discourse.

Health professionals are also invited to share insights, including Professor Camillo Porta from the University of Bari, addressing medical advancements, and Roberto Burioni, a noted microbiologist, providing commentary on current health narratives important to the public. Their contributions aim to educate viewers on relevant contemporary topics.

Fazio's inviting atmosphere fosters lively interactions among guests, ensuring every segment feels engaging and informative. The traditional segment 'Il Tavolo' also makes its return, featuring familiar faces like Nino Frassica, Diego Abatantuono, and Simona Ventura, who collectively bring humor and light-heartedness to the mix.

Musical guests for 'Il Tavolo' include the iconic band Ricchi e Poveri, who performed their new single 'Il Natale degli Angeli,' ushering the audience toward the festive spirit. Giovanni Esposito, featured in the film 'Io e te dobbiamo parlare,' also adds flair to the musical variety of the episode. Giucas Casella returns, continuing his streak of entertaining appearances.

The variety of topics and guests ensures this episode stands out as not only entertaining but impactful, reflecting Fazio's commitment to providing viewers with compelling content. The blend of humor, music, and poignant discussions encapsulates the spirit of the holiday season.
