On the back of a majestic white horse. Marc Giró appears like this in the opening credits of his new La Sexta program. And like this he also entered the studio to start the show. Like a conqueror or a knight. A contemporary Saint George to fight against the dragons of our time: fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and whatever else is convenient, but always with a sense of showmanship. Giró recalled that everyone had insisted he not change when he moved to work for the private channel. Even Pedro Sánchez. Therefore, the start of the program was focused on demonstrating that he has not softened his combative and sharp spirit. So much so that perhaps he prolonged the opening monologue too much so that it wouldn't seem like he was backing down. But, sometimes, less is more. The speech led, luckily, to a cabaret number. To the rhythm of Tamara's "No cambié", Giró sang, danced, an orchestra appeared, a whole choir and a dance troupe lifted him as if he were a showgirl from the old days. Leonardo Dantés even appeared fleetingly to give a more delirious air to the opening party. All of this, a kind of pocket "Berghain" with the evident stamp of Santi Villas, co-director of the program. Beyond changing the color of the curtains, now the channel's corporate green, Cara al show maintains the characteristics and essence of the Late show" from public television. The big difference are the cruel commercial breaks of the private channel, which interrupt the content abruptly and hit us with ads five at a time. With a program that starts so late, these breaks are killers. Of course, when they mentioned the Thermomix, they pixelated the robot's photo and covered the word with a whistle, lest the ad not go through the cash register. Censorship, sometimes, comes in the most unheard-of ways. In the program, an improvement in the budget was also sensed: between the horse, the string orchestra, the dancers, the choir, and the opera singer, the premiere's expenditure was noticeable. Giró turned Estopa into the godparents of the program. The Muñoz brothers always work due to their spontaneity and friendliness. Next, we again suffered a new promotional dose of the things of the omnipresent Jordi Évole. These are those exchanges of "I interview you and you interview me" to feed the business. The journalist was accompanied by the actor Eduardo Casanova to announce the documentary Sidosa, which combats the stigma of HIV. The performer stated during the interview that one in a hundred people in Spain was infected with the virus. But the data was incorrect. The prevalence in Spain is 0.3% and not 1%, as he stated. No one corrected him. The problem is that this is the second time Eduardo Casanova has given erroneous information about HIV on a television program. With this capacity for dissemination, with every wash, we lose a sheet.

Actor and film director Eduardo Casanova has announced his HIV status via his Instagram profile: "Today I break this unpleasant and painful silence after so many years. A silence that so many of us with HIV have kept and suffered."
