Jorge Javier Vázquez says goodbye to television after 23 years of experience in Antena 3 and Telecinco and goes on to lead the Government’s communication cabinet.
The day had to come and it has come. Jorge Javier Vázquez leaves television forever after signing for the Government of Pedro Sánchez as one of the main managers of the executive’s communication cabinet. In this way, the Telecinco presenter goes to rub shoulders with Iván Redondo and Miguel Ángel Oliver. The latter, by the way, is also the face of Mediaset, who left ‘Noticias Cuatro’ to become Secretary of State for Communication.
As El Televisero has learned, Jorge will continue to lead the formats he leads –Save me, Survivors and ‘Saturday Deluxe’ – during the remainder of the season and his departure from the chain would occur once it ended. However, another option that is not ruled out is that its incorporation takes place in the month of February. If so, Mediaset would have to find him a substitute or substitute to present the new edition of ‘Survivors 2021’.
On the other hand, they would have it much easier with the evening program with Paz Padilla and Carlota Corredera as new owners of the ‘farmhouse’ or with spaces like the ‘Deluxe’, where María Patiño who, as you know, is the substitute for Vázquez when he takes a vacation or when he has to leave for personal or professional reasons on behalf of the theater; whose tour has resumed a few months ago after being paralyzed by the coronavirus pandemic.
His career in two stages: Antena 3 and Telecinco
Reviewing his career on the small screen, Jorge Javier has passed through Antena 3 and Telecinco, where he reaches the pinnacle. In 1997 he made the leap to television with a collaboration in the Antena 3 program Extra Pink, led by Rosa Villacastín and Ana Rosa Quintana. Then he was a tertullian of Taste of you and its summer edition Taste of summer. In 2001 he debuted as a presenter with Francine Gálvez in Noise, noise.
Later, he made the final leap to Telecinco, a chain in which he began collaborating on the program Day to day, presented by María Teresa Campos. In 2003, he began to present together with Carmen Alcayde Here is tomato. In 2007 he also led the space White ants, and in 2008, after spending several months away from television, he rejoined the network to conduct the daily summaries of ‘Big Brother 10’ and the debate on Sundays.
Its rise comes mainly from March 2009, after starting the emissions of Survivors, Lost in Honduras. There, in principle, he was going to review the events that were happening on the island, and thus serve as support for the program and feedback to the chain. However, due to the good audience that was achieved, it began to be broadcast daily in the afternoons. And so on until now.
His first steps as editor of Pronto magazine
In 2011 he went one step further and became the host of ‘Survivors’ at the same time that he was also in charge of the evening space of Telecinco. In addition, since then he would rise as the master of ceremonies of the realities of the house as’Cornered ‘,’GH VIP ‘, ‘GH DÚO’ O ‘The Strong House‘ Recently. Without forgetting that it assumed command of other formats such as ‘There is one thing I want to tell you’, ‘More than dance’ or ‘Change me premium’ in his years at Telecinco.
The also presenter of the Campanadas in 2009 together with Belén Esteban or in 2011 with Isabel Pantoja, suffered a stroke in March 2019 that kept him temporarily away from television for several weeks. Despite marking a before and after in his life, Jorge was discharged and immediately joined his environment. Later, and in fact he confessed it in his polygraph in the last Deluxe, he did consider leaving television permanently.
With a degree in Hispanic Philology from the University of Barcelona, Jorge Javier’s professional career has been closely linked, above all, to television, although he began in the world of the pink press making his first steps as editor of the Pronto magazine. Now, at fifty years of age, the Catalan embarks on a new and exciting adventure that has taken everyone by surprise.
