Cesc Queralt has died, prematurely, and those of us who were his colleagues are in mourning. But Vicenteta is immortal. Although he appeared on screen between the now distant years of 1988 and 1991, those who watched him every Thursday on TV3 have not forgotten him, with his cabaret humor, of amiable transgression, which drove the well-groomed presenter who responded to him as best he could crazy. And the fact is that Cesc was an artist that the great talent scout Puyal took from the El Llantiol nightclub to the newly opened TV3 studios in Sant Joan Despí. The character's popularity was immense, at a time when a contest for all audiences after the TN afternoon, conceived as an hour and a half show, achieved weekly audiences of between 30% and 40% and, more importantly, reached Spanish-speaking homes where they only watched TV3 to watch football. When Vicenteta burst onto the set with her ""What's up, anybody?"the audimeters were going through the roof.
Cesc Queralt had dramatic foundations, all the skill of flying hours on stage, and a popular sense of humor that won the audience over. Hardworking, punctual, rigorous, author of his scripts, but also a loyal and hilarious companion for the long hours of recording, we formed a television de facto partnership as unthinkable as it was authentic. Cesc Queralt and that Vicenteta from the Plana Alta did much to consolidate TV3. Her name was Vicenteta, and she told it like it was. So"In Valencia, we already know: either Vicenteta or Amparín."
