The Catalan presenter is already preparing <em>Cara al Show</em>, his new humor and entertainment program, which will air on La Sexta after Easter. After the news and his appearance on El hormiguero, this Monday a double interview with Jordi Évole was broadcast on the program <a href="https://en.ara.cat/media/marc-giro-knocks-out-pablo-motos_129_5672996.html" target="_blank">Lo de Évole</a>. One of the most notable moments of the interview was when Évole surprised Giró with a live call to the central government president, Pedro Sánchez. The three of them chatted for more than eight minutes, and Giró did not miss the opportunity to challenge Sánchez to appear on his new program.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/82826692-ef47-4f21-ba29-7f33e9c64d42_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0_x259y129.jpg" /></p><p>Last Thursday, Marc Giró went to have fun on <em>El hormiguero</em> to promote the premiere of his next program on La Sexta. The one who didn't have such a good time was Pablo Motos, who after a few minutes already seemed to regret the meeting. Giró appeared on the set like a <em>miura</em> when they open the corral gates in San Fermín. The impact of the hug was an allegory of how much Pablo Motos would end up suffocated by the intensity of the guest. Giró's charges, intentional and disguised as theatricality, served to warn that he was willing to drown out any proclamation that is made on this program.Giró entered with overflowing joy but launching preemptive attacks to mark territory. As soon as he sat down, he compared the guests' past to a gay sauna. “<em>I didn't know Atresmedia was so faggoty, please!</em>” Giró resorted to a metaphor that, at first, Motos liked: “<em>The two Spains are together here! What Arturo Pérez-Reverte hasn't achieved with Uclés, you have achieved with me! Because you are a seducer!</em>” Giró has the savoir-faire of the most trained aristocracy: he even knows how to joke with the least sympathetic interlocutor. He appealed to the supposed “<em>fascists of </em>El hormiguero” as a rumor. “<em>I haven't met any yet! I have a desire to meet the famous fascist of </em>El hormiguero<em>!</em>” Giró repeatedly invoked the fascists of Atresmedia as if they were a legend or ghosts that needed to be checked if they really existed. Motos was so disoriented and uncomfortable, speechless, that the plush ants appeared ahead of time from under the table to help him deal with this beast that was challenging them. The rag dolls didn't get their play right either. As soon as they poked their heads out, Giró greeted the ants by recalling a colleague who arrived at work one morning explaining that she had fucked a program ant. Motos was in shock at a guest who spent more time promoting anal sex than the program he is to premiere after Easter. “<em>What did you want to ask me about Pedro Sánchez?</em>”, Giró forced, exhibiting his fervor for the Spanish president, and aware that he was breaking with the ideological purpose of<em>El hormiguero</em>: “<em>You are very subtle with Pedro Sánchez and very not subtle with the far-right!</em>” In front of a Motos in a state of shock, an ant had to come out to announce that “<em>on this program we are all against fascism</em>”. It's curious that a program needs to emphasize it for it to be clear.Giró displayed all his potential as a showmanand proved the success of his signing. In passing, it seemed that Giró, with his repertoire of incisive comments on politics and sexuality, was checking on air the limits of Atresmedia's tolerance and the margin he has to express himself. A very symptomatic fact, however, was the practical disappearance of the fervent claque of the program's audience. The applause, with Marc Giró, was not activated much. And more than a casual fact, it should be interpreted, between the lines, as a warning.</p>]]></description>

The Catalan broadcaster joins the Atresmedia group and will be part of the channel with a television project set to premiere in 2026. Giró arrives with a solid profile thanks to his career, which combines intelligent humor, social analysis, entertainment, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. His new network has not revealed the premiere date or the format of his new show, although it has been suggested that it will continue to be based on a combination of interviews with celebrities and humor.</p>]]></description>

The cause that has provoked this very democratic reaction is laughable. On Tuesday, Marc Giró opened his <em>Late show</em> with one of his brilliant monologues. The presenter noted that he wanted to address a topic "<em>which worries some of our fellow citizens greatly</em>". Giró shouted out the cause of this anguish: "<em>The persecution of the Spanish male!</em>" . Giró wondered: "<em>Who persecutes the Spanish male? Gender ideology, which prevents you from displaying your manhood.</em>Giró developed a whole discourse that sought to highlight the plight of Iberian men, who, whenever they displayed their virility, were besieged by women carrying a false accusation of domestic violence in their teeth. Sarcastically, Giró appealed to the bad luck of these individuals, considering that the index in Spain was reproducing a very sad pattern.<em>A migrant persecuted by a Spanish man who is in turn persecuted by a feminist</em>". Every time he exposed this chain of persecution, the three characters ran in front of him trying to catch each other.</p>]]></description>

The humorous speech did not go down well with Vox representative Manuel Mariscal Zabala, who threatened to fire the Catalan presenter on social media. "Marc Giró earns 3,800 euros per program with money from the public coffers. When Vox arrives at RTVE, he will be summarily dismissed for making fun of the Spanish people," said Mariscal Zabala, who represents Vox on RTVE's parliamentary oversight committee in Congress. </p>]]></description>

To a user who told him that he was "Catalan quota, LGTBI quota, caviar left quota and bourgeois quota <em>preppy</em>", the presenter replied: "It seems short to me. I'm missing an anti-racist quota, a pro-Palestinian quota, a pro-Saharawi quota, an animal rights quota, an anti-bullfighting quota, a vegan quota, a fan of Rocío Carrasco quota, a quota <em>queer</em> and Social Security contributions because I am in favor of paying taxes to finance feminist shacks." </p>]]></description>

He began by highlighting the news about the vote in the Valencian Community allowing families to choose which language their children want to be educated in, Spanish or Valencian. The presenter warned that this was a strategy to eliminate Valencian from the classroom. He then pointed out that it was all a result of the animosity many people feel toward the Catalan language and Catalans in general. Giró then began a plea in favor of Catalan and against all those who believe that speaking it is useless: <em>"Catalan is useful for so many things. It's useful for everything you set your mind to. It's useful for everything, everything, everything... Catalan is useful for arguing, for loving, for healing. It's good in Catalan! Catalan is useful for fucking.</em>. He then went on to list everything you can ask for in Catalan: a mortgage, a job, alms, or mercy. Even independence. Or not ask for it and do it in Catalan. And to demonstrate the functionality of Catalan, he showed that it can be used to welcome its <em>Late show</em>And so he did.</p>]]></description>
