This week comes to have fun The Risa Group Night, Jorge Salvador (Barcelona, 1963). Jorge is currently the director of The Hormiguero (Antena 3), presented by Pablo Motos, although he has a long history in the world of television with other programs as recognizable as, for example, Al Ataque, The Funny Face, The National Parody (Antenna 3), Channel nº 4 (Four) or the famous Martian Chronicles (Telecinco) that are already part of the history of television in our country. All of these as a director. But he was also the producer of The just nonsense (Four), it is from Infiltration (Telecinco), and since 2021 of The challenge (Antena 3), which presents the recent winner of Ondas, Roberto Leal.
Although he is known to the general public for his projects on the small screen, Jorge Salvador started out on the radio. As soon as he came of age, he entered the defunct Antena 3, where he was a sound technician. He even worked with García. Never has a sound technician reached so high.
Today he tells us a hilarious anecdote in the live of a football Copa del Rey semifinal in 1984, in Barcelona, which gave him the idea to do something very unique and through which you will see how the good was already spending it then. Jorge’s. This confessed culé, tells us a detail never known until now about Siro López, with whom he worked hand in hand, which will surprise you.
We talked with him about his career, about his beginnings with Alfonso Arús, how was his transition from radio to television, how were those first pilot programs of Martian Chronicles, about how he met Pablo Motos, about what the figure of Will Smith has meant to The Hormiguero, and of those guests who continue to resist them, those who have impressed him the most and those who have least, and those dressing room anecdotes that we cannot see but that there are and many. We hope you enjoy the interview as we did doing it.
The most ingenious imitations, the good vibes, the most entertaining interviews, a different music and the overflowing fun, star in a space totally supported by the COPE audience.
Humor and entertainment are an indispensable element in radio. And the Grupo Risa plays all the keys in the radio medium. A multitude of characters coexist in their throats and in their heads. Only the three of them are, at the same time, technicians and announcers; editors, and producers. Editors and filmmakers. They present, interview, sing, imitate, invent, parody, but above all, they create.
The ‘Grupo Risa’ also puts the soundtrack and humor to the most listened to programs on the antenna.
On Thursdays, starting at 11:30 in the morning, they place Carlos Herrera in front of ‘The Mirror ‘ in the weekly review of his program. A section with jokes, montages, songs and the most hilarious imitations.
In sports programs, it also leaves its mark. Every Wednesday night, from 01:00 a.m. they meet at “The Partidazo“with Juanma Castaño, to amuse the audience with the ‘What a party ‘, including his montages, his songs, the most unexpected calls and the most surprising kittens in the sports world.
Every Tuesday morning they are in ‘The Night with Beatriz Pérez Otín ‘ recalling his best radio pieces, on Thursdays they appear with El Pulpo in ‘Putting the streets’, and when there is no League they appear with their ‘Coup de Grace ‘ on those weekend afternoons.
In addition, Miner and Fernando put their own accent on the broadcasts of the matches in ‘Game time’ and they are already part of the mythical ‘First hour’ of the program hosted by Paco González and Pepe Domingo Castaño.
According to the EGM, ‘The Night with The Risa Group’ It is the leading program for the weekends of the weekend in Spain.
