El Trece Reportedly Preparing Saturday Night Lineup Without Mirtha Legrand

The reported plan seeks to preserve the channel’s long-running dinner-and-guest format while easing the demands on Legrand as she recovers.

Overview

  • Citing Tuesday's reports, entertainment journalist Adrián Pallares said El Trece is finalizing a plan to run its Saturday-night dinner format in 2027 without Mirtha Legrand as the regular host.
  • Multiple outlets named Moria Casán as the leading candidate to take the Saturday slot in a format similar to the current show, with a tentative start discussed for March 2027 and the information presented as unconfirmed reporting.
  • Juana Viale has filled the seat through Legrand’s prolonged absence after hospitalization and would be affected by any permanent change to the weekend lineup.
  • Sources also report parallel talks about other talent moves, including approaches to Carmen Barbieri, Marcelo Polino and Rocío Marengo, and industry shifts at rival channels that could shape final offers.
  • Mirtha Legrand remains in recovery and discussions reportedly include a distant possibility of a monthly special rather than a weekly return, reflecting both her cultural weight in Argentine TV and the channel’s operational need to plan its 2027 grid.
