El Trece Reportedly Plans Saturday-Night Dinner Show Without Mirtha Legrand

The channel is seeking a new long-term host to preserve the weekend ratings and program format next year.

Overview

  • This week entertainment reporters said El Trece intends to keep the Saturday-night dinner/talk format in 2027 but without Mirtha Legrand and has identified Moria Casán as the likely candidate for a proposed March 2027 start.
  • Moria Casán has publicly said she would not call herself a replacement for Legrand yet would consider taking the role if the original program could not continue with Mirtha.
  • Juana Viale, who has been filling the Saturday slot during Legrand’s recovery, now faces uncertainty about her future on El Trece and about how sponsors and rights held by the Viale family might affect any change.
  • Mirtha Legrand remains in recovery after a serious health episode and outlets note the network is weighing special or occasional appearances for her around her centenary on February 23, 2027 rather than a full return.
  • Reports stress that plans are unconfirmed: El Trece has not announced contracts or dates and insiders have suggested broader talent interest, including claims that producer Adrián Suar is eyeing Moria for other radio and TV projects.
