Fiorello Turns World Cup Math and Musetti Into Radio Satire on La Pennicanza

Italian outlets reported the quips as entertainment, not as new sports developments.

Overview

  • On Rai Radio2, Fiorello joked that Italy would need a 9–0 win over Norway to qualify for the World Cup and quipped about assigning Haaland to the Avengers.
  • He poked fun at Lorenzo Musetti with a gag about skipping the Davis Cup because he is tired and a line about the Vatican breathing a sigh of relief.
  • The show spoofed a Netflix-style series titled “La coppa che non c’aveva voglia nessuno,” presented as a comedic invention rather than an announcement.
  • He closed the episode by playing audio of his young nephew, which launched a playful new studio bit dubbed the “Bubu Gaga Dance.”
  • La Pennicanza aired its usual 45 minutes of improvisation and surreal gags at 13:45, in audio on Rai Radio2 and in visual on digital terrestrial channel 202.
