Embarrassment as if it rained in the last episode of The right time, Caterina Balivo’s program (which was already struggling to reach an acceptable level of ratings). After the usual space dedicated to current events, Balivo brought Lorella Cuccarini into the studio, who for years now has had the role of coach in Amici di Maria De Filippi. Precisely in light of this, the presenter immediately seized the opportunity to ask her how she feels about returning to Rai: “We met in this studio on 21 February 2020 for an interview… At the time you hosted Life live with Matano…What emotions do you feel now that you are back in this studio?” The guest a The right time, visibly excited, did not hide the fact that she was truly happy: “It’s a bit like coming home, even if everything is different…For me then Rai is a mother because I started here…I don’t forget where it all started…I have had many satisfactions here…”. However, she couldn’t expect what would happen soon.
Caterina Balivo’s gaffe
The conversation continued calmly for both, until Lorella Cuccarini addressed the issue of Sanremo Festival. In 1995 the showgirl took part in the event as Bigwith the song Not another love. As they chatted about that experience, Caterina Balivo said: “I sang your song in front of the mirror, which then she wasn’t beautiful“. Suddenly the frost fell in the studio, but the presenter hadn’t yet understood what she had gotten herself into. The response from the Cuccarini, who added: “I liked it a lot“. At that point Balivo realized he had made a terrible impression and stammered: “Of course not, not in the sense…”, but obviously she didn’t know what to say, so she stopped and laughing, asked for applause to take her time. They both joked that she could have cut herself. At that point Caterina added: “What I wanted to say is that for a little girl…”, at which point fortunately Cuccarini came to her aid saying: “Yes, I understand, a piece of that type might be a little too corny for a little girlbut I liked it very much, also because then My husband wrote it, so…”.
The past between Caterina Balivo and Lorella Cuccarini
In the past Balivo had expressed words of thanks for his colleague. This is because the program he currently hosts, The right timehad previously been offered and then rejected by Lorella Cuccarini, busy with other projects. On that occasion Balivo had confessed: “She is a great professional and she can say what she wants. Me I smiled because it’s a story that repeats itself, they had proposed Festa Italiana to me because Romina Power had refused. Courses and appeals: I have always been grateful for that renunciation.”
