María Pía Copello Confirms She Will Stay on 'Mande Quién Mande' Through December

Internal decisions have delayed a planned shift to an unconfirmed Saturday primetime project.

Overview

  • Copello said her departure was set for last week and talks with a new host had begun before the plan was reversed within hours.
  • She confirmed on Más Espectáculos that she will continue leading the América TV afternoon show through December, with her 2026 plans undecided.
  • Entertainment reporters have linked her to a Canal 4 Saturday primetime program, but neither América Televisión nor Pro TV has announced the project.
  • Magaly Medina argued producers opted to retain Copello due to MQM’s ratings and sponsor strength, referring to her as their “gallinita de oro.”
  • Laura Huarcayo is being floated as a possible successor, though pundits question the fit, and Copello’s guest spot on Telemundo’s Hoy Día drew strong social-media reaction.
