La Señora León: No longer with us

La Señora León ya no está contigo. On the heels of news that her arch rival Peruvian Laura Bozzo (better known as Laura en América) was having her show cancelled, cae otra. La Tesorito herself — who many thought would be the one to trump Laura Bozzo and who others thought might be the reason for Bozzos’s sudden split with Telemundo — has fallen victim to the same cruel machetazo as la Bozzo: ratings. Apparently Tesorito’s show just wasn’t cutting it:
This Friday it was announced that tapings for the Señora León show would end, a show led by Mexican actress Laura León for Peru’s Canal 2 and broadcast in the U.S. by Telemundo. The apparent reason for the network not renewing the show was that it had not reached the ratings levels that were expected.
According to People in Español, Laura León ain’t sweatin’ it:
Por su parte, León tomo con aparente serenidad las noticias: “Estoy tranquila, pues así son las cosas, tesorito. Yo me voy a quedar [en Perú], vamos a ver qué pasa”.
The fact that the show that this show was modeled after — Laura en América — was cancelled almost immediately after the launch of the carbon copy Señora León show must have clued la Tesorito in to what was to come.
With no Lauras on daytime TV whatever will we do?

Laura Bozzo gets let go

Ladies and gentlemen, after 5 years of polladas, berrinches, lloros and face-slapping drama, Laura Bozzo, the once-incarcerated host of “Laura en América” has been fired, according to El Mundo and EFE:
Peruvian television host Laura Bozzo has been fired by the Telemundo network after a five year working relationship due to “hard to meet expectations”, according to Peruvian press. Bozzo had declared that her contract ended by mutual agreement, but the press claims that Telemundo ended her aggressive talk show due to a decline in viewers and her approaching trial before Peruvian court on charges of corruption. Her talk show, which reached great popularity in Latin America in last few years distinguished itself by showing dramas in the lives of low-income people who, in many cases, accepted money to tell their stories and allowed themselves to be humiliated for money.
Now who will give all of those poor souls their carritos sangüicheros?
I guess la Bozzo had a reason to fear her Mexican counterpart, since, as far as I know, la Señora Leon still has a job. RIP, “Laura en América”, it was fun while it lasted.

Daytime Drama: Laura vs. Laura in Peru

I pretty much coughed up my lunch when I saw that Laura León (of Mexican telenovela “Dos Mujeres, un Camino” fame) was hosting a trashy talk show almost identical to Laura Bozzo’s (the only talk show host in the history of TV to broadcast while under house arrest) “Laura”, cumbia and all. What was even more shocking is that Laura (Leon) has up and moved to Lima to do the show.
How does a Mexican telenovela actress conquer the Peruvian daytime talk show market? Will she know what a pollada is?
I remember thinking “Damn, I bet Laura Bozzo is pissed that La Tesorito is biting her style — in her own country!” I guess I’m a psychic (or just too in tune with the thinking of Peruvian talk show abogadas) because I was right. Throw down, ladies!
