Overview

  • The midday satire show hosted by Fiorello and Fabrizio Biggio on Rai Radio2 launched on May 20 and will air its final episode on June 6.
  • Network executives argued the program outperformed other slots, prompting its scheduled pause after just three weeks.
  • Fiorello has suggested the program might return in October for an extended series, although nothing is confirmed.
  • Recent highlights include a comedic take on Inter’s 5-0 Champions League final loss and an absurd fake call to coach Simone Inzaghi.
  • The program’s improv style and impact earned Fiorello the TV Talk award for best absent TV personality, presented by Rai Radio2 director Simona Sala.
