Reports Point to María Pía Copello Leaving ‘Mande Quién Mande’ Next Week

With no official statement, reporting points to a departure next week followed by a possible Saturday prime-time launch in October.

Overview

  • Entertainment host Magaly Medina said Copello will be off the midday show next week and framed the move as a likely permanent exit, while floating Laura Huarcayo or Maricarmen Marín as potential replacements.
  • América Televisión has not confirmed any changes, leaving the status of Copello’s role and the show’s lineup unresolved.
  • Copello shared an AI-generated childhood photo with her cohosts and an emotional caption, and Mario Hart and Carlos Vílchez posted messages interpreted as farewell notes.
  • Journalist John Cano reported Copello will remain at América TV to front a new Saturday prime-time program produced by Peter Fajardo, staying on the midday show only through Friday, Sept. 19, before a planned October return.
  • On Tuesday’s broadcast, the program leaned into the rumors with a segment suggesting a search for a new host, featuring Tula Rodríguez on set and a dramatic on-air fainting moment from Copello.
