Courtesy of TelevisaUnivision Don Francisco, the veteran talk-show host who dazzled millions of Spanish-speaking viewers with his Saturday-night program “Sábado Gigante” on Univision, will return to the network.
The host, whose program was canceled in 2015 after a run of more than half a century, will host a new limited-run interview series featuring “major personalities from the Hispanic world,” the network said Tuesday during a presentation to advertisers as part of the industry’s annual “upfront” market. The format is expected to feature intimate, close conversations that will be heighted because Francisco’s program is not a regular part of the Univision schedule.
