This time the decision sent millions of viewers into a tailspin. No one would have ever imagined such an end: De Martino is sad.
Stefano De Martino he has become one of the key faces of Italian television. When he took part in the edition of Amici di Maria De Filippi in which the singer Emma Marrone triumphed, the teacher Alessandra Celentano, with foresight, had foreseen a future for him as a host and showman.
Considering the great success it has been enjoying in recent years, the teacher was right. In this regard, it must be said that at the beginning of his television career as a presenter, we found him both commenting on the afternoon slot of the Canale 5 talent show with Marcello Sacchetta, and as sent to the Island of the Famous when Alessia Marcuzzi was in charge.
Now, however, Stefano has become a key face of Rai, where we have seen him both in late evening programs and in prime time. Just think about his Bar Stellawhich for two television seasons cheered viewers in the after-hours.
Furthermore, he inherited the great success from Amadeus with Tonight anything is possible. The show, which has been airing for several years on Rai 2, even surpassed itself in the last episode of this television season with a 14% share.
Lightheartedness is the secret of success
This shows that viewers love this type of programme, where light-heartedness, the need to find irony, jokes and smiles are the basis of Italians’ research. Stefano recently received a multi-year contract renewal with Rai. For him it is expected, starting from next September, the hosting of Affari Tuoi on Rai 1an orphan of Amadeus which is ready to land on Canale Nove’s Discovery network.
For De Martino this is certainly an important test which, if passed perfectly, will put the boy in a position to be the new host of the Sanremo Festival from 2027. We are talking about some subsequent seasons simply because Carlo Conti will be hosting the next two editions of the most loved event ever. Now however, it’s right to say something that won’t please either younger fans or Stefano De Martino himself.
College 2024 will not be there
We remember, in fact, that in the 2023 edition the latter was the narrator of another Rai 2 cult programme, namely The college. The docu-reality, which has been airing since 2017, is ready to close its doors as there is no new edition planned this yearas reported by BlogTVItaliana. This shows that the ratings in the last two editions have not been so good, despite the fact that in the last season there were also two famous daughters, namely Carmelina, the daughter of Carmen Di Pietro, and Aurora, the daughter of Matilde Brandi.
So, certainly for this new television season, Stefano will lose a piece of his work as he will no longer be able to play the role of narrator of the students’ events because the program will most likely no longer be shown again. Could it be considered for the Discovery network? At the moment, fans of The College can’t breathe a sigh of relief because no translation of the show is planned.
