Jordi González to Retire From Television After TV3’s ‘Col·lapse’ Ends

He calls the program his epilogue, saying a life‑threatening illness reshaped his priorities.

Overview

  • In a Diari Ara interview, González said “It’s my epilogue, for sure,” adding the show could run “three months or three years” but he will not front another program.
  • He currently directs and hosts Col·lapse on TV3, marking his return to the screen on September 27 after a long recovery.
  • The presenter suffered a severe bacterial infection in early 2024 in Medellín that caused bilateral pneumonia, a three‑week coma and a tracheotomy.
  • He cited financial independence as a factor in stepping away, noting “I have money and no children” and recalling peak fees of 20 million pesetas (about €120,000) per program at Telecinco.
  • Upon signing off, he plans to travel to Japan and pursue long‑delayed goals such as learning English and learning to cook.
