Overview
- Production and family confirmed that Mirtha Legrand did not attend Friday recording because she woke congested with a strong cold and was told by her doctor to stay home and rest.
- Her granddaughter Juana Viale recorded the program on Friday and will present both Saturday night’s La Noche de Mirtha and Sunday’s Almorzando con Juana back‑to‑back as the temporary host.
- Producers said the only change is the host swap: broadcast times remain the same and the planned guests for Saturday — Ana Rosenfeld, Elba Marcovecchio, Karina Iavícoli and Luciana Rubinska — will still appear.
- Family members and producer Nacho Viale issued statements to reassure the public and limit speculation, describing Legrand’s symptoms as a resfrío with cough and emphasizing her recovery at home.
- Legrand is 99 and has had recent health interruptions this year and a 2023 pacemaker procedure, so her absence underscores how the program’s family production manages continuity while viewers await her return.
