The Univision Network’s entertainment news and gossip show, El Gordo y La Flaca, is celebrating 15 uninterrupted years on the air with the original hosts, the original schedule, and non-stop success. On Friday, September 20, the show’s hosts, Lili Estefan and Raúl de Molina, commemorated the actual anniversary date by cutting a birthday cake during the broadcast, while preparations for a fabulous birthday bash, slated for a December air date, are already under way. During its 15 years on the air, the one-hour weekday program has kept viewers up to speed on everything that’s happening in the world of entertainment, giving countless scoops, presenting numerous exclusive interviews with world-famous celebrities, and welcoming A-list Hispanic stars on set for candid conversations, among them Celia Cruz, Enrique Iglesias, Jenni Rivera, Pitbull, Ricky Martin, Salma Hayek, Shakira, Sofía Vergara, Thalía, and many others. In addition, throughout the years the program has presented a number of highly rated specials focusing on important entertainment events and personalities. Created by Univision in 1998 specifically for then entertainment reporter Lili Estefan and famed paparazzo Raúl de Molina, El Gordo y La Flaca became an instant hit and has consistently maintained its place among Hispanic America’s favorite TV shows. “Raúl and Lili have become familiar faces in Hispanic homes across the nation, and millions of viewers loyally tune in to their show every weekday afternoon to get all the latest scoops about their favorite stars. We couldn’t be prouder of the outstanding work that Lili and Raúl have been doing day after day for 15 years, entertaining audiences with their unique on-air chemistry and consistently staying on top of the ratings charts,” said Alberto Ciurana, president of Programming and Content, Univision Networks.
