Move over Don Francisco, Spanish television personality Cristina Saralegui is taking over.
The Cuban born Saralegui is developing a weekly variety program on Telemundo. She’ll also be executive producer of the new show as well as the host.
Said Cristina:
“I am thrilled to be joining the Telemundo family in this next chapter of my career. Together, I look forward to creating ground breaking television that will entertain, inform, and inspire my people.”
Don Browne, President of Telemundo, adds:
“I’ve admired and respected Cristina for years. She personifies the American dream and she inspires and empowers Hispanics throughout the US. Her coming to Telemundo is truly a dream come true.├óΓé¼┬¥
The 63-year-old icon and twelve-time Emmy-award winner’s new gig is set to air later this year.
We can’t wait to watch the show. We might need to make a cameo as well.
Congrats, Cristina!
