Production

Initially, the show was going to be presented by Fernando Vilar, who had been summoned to host an entertainment program for the first time.[5] However, after having participated in the rehearsals with the scenography prepared, he decided to abandon the project, arguing that he "did not measure up" to such a challenge.[6] Finally, Rafael Villanueva was chosen to host the program.[7]

As part of the advertising campaign for the show, on the morning of the debut day, the Desayunos informales team was invited to test the game on the set.[8]
