The news of Gerry Scotti at the next Sanremo Festival has sparked an uproar in both Rai and Mediaset. Let’s see what’s happening.
Gerry Scotti at the Sanremo Festival. Possible? Apparently yes. The news shocked everyone but, above all, it sparked chaos at both Rai and Mediaset. Let’s get ready to see some beautiful ones.
Gerry Scotti has been at the helm of successful programs on Mediaset channels for years and, starting from May 6th, he will host the “revival” of a historic program: The wheel of fortune. Younger people may not remember the show, but those over 40 cannot forget this hilarious game show hosted by the unforgettable Mike Bongiorno.
Alongside the historic presenter, over the years, those who, at the time, were defined as the “valleys” followed: Paola Barale, Antonella Elia, Susanna Messaggio. All women who later established themselves in the world of entertainment as presenters.
In this new edition Gerry Scotti will be joined by former gieffina Samira Lui. It already promises to be a great success and those nostalgic for the 90s can’t wait to go back and see the wheel turn and the competitors compete for vowels and consonants. But for Gerry Scotti the news doesn’t end there.
Gerry Scotti in Sanremo: here’s how Pier Silvio Berlusconi took it
The next Sanremo festival will have a new face at the helm. After five years Amadeus said goodbye to the Italian Song Festival. Apparently Gerry Scotti could be the new presenter but this has already caused a lot of fuss.
Gerry Scotti in Sanremo, How did Pier Silvio Berlusconi take it? Will he have accused the presenter of high treason or will he have given him his blessing? Apparently the son of the former leader of Forza Italia has opted for the second path and has already given the green light to Gerry Scotti. It was the presenter who confirmed everything.
In a recent interview, in fact, Scotti declared: “Mediaset has already told me that I can easily do the Sanremo Festival…Pier Silvio Berlusconi has already told me that would you give me permission…“. For the moment, however, these are only hypotheses and fantasies since Rai no official proposal has yet arrived aimed at Gerry Scotti and, therefore, someone else could host the next Sanremo Festival.
Indeed, Gerry Scotti had to admit that, in many years of his career, Rai never made him any proposal. This may seem strange given that we are talking about one of the best and most popular presenters on the national scene. But, evidently, “mamma Rai” is looking for something else.
As regards, however, the Wheel of Fortune, Scotti is very optimistic and it is certain that, in the digital age, many people have the desire to go back to watching something simpler and more traditional on television. It cannot therefore be ruled out that after this first edition, there may also be a second.
