Tuesday evening programming on Spain’s main public television channel continues to delight viewers with quality content. Immediately after the popular show “La revuelta,” Mark Giro’s “Late xou” airs, steadily building its own dedicated audience. This is not just another talk show, but a space for smart and witty conversations with some of the brightest figures on the Spanish cultural scene. The project, which launched not so long ago, is already showing impressive results, proving that the public’s interest in profound and informal dialogues is stronger than ever.
This week, true giants of the Spanish stage—Imaol Arias and Maria Barranco—will join Mark Giro on the studio couch. This acting duo is presenting their new theater work, “Лучше не говорить.” The play humorously explores the challenges and pleasures of long-term marriage, where knowing when to say nothing is just as important as knowing when to speak. In conversation with the host, the actors are expected not only to unveil some of the secrets behind their production, but also to share personal stories from their rich creative and personal lives—stories previously unknown to the public. Viewers will have a rare opportunity to see film icons in an informal setting, outside the bounds of a script.
The musical note of the evening will be brought by Álvaro Lafuente Calvo, a young and talented artist performing under the pseudonym Guitarricadelafuente. This Valencian singer-songwriter, whose name now resonates far beyond Spain, will talk about his upcoming international tour. His recent nomination for the prestigious Latin Grammy award for the music video ‘Full time papi’ further cements his status as a rising star. In conversation with Marc Giró, the musician—known for his originality and his skillful blending of folk influences with contemporary sounds—promises to be frank and reveal some of his creative secrets.
The evening will conclude with a regular guest of the show, writer and comedian Pepe Colubi. His sharp and always relevant humor segment has become an integral part of ‘Late xou’. Colubi, more than anyone, knows how to spot the absurdity of everyday life and deliver his insights with subtle irony. His appearance at the end of the show ensures that viewers go to bed not only with food for thought, but also with a smile.
The success of the format is confirmed by hard numbers. The show consistently maintains an audience share above 10%, an excellent result for a late-night broadcast, especially given the intense competition from giants like ‘Supervivientes All Stars’. The previous episode, for instance, drew 920,000 viewers, securing the channel a share of 11.9%. All indications are that Marc Giró’s team has found the winning formula, and the upcoming broadcast will only strengthen the show’s position on Spanish television.
