Carlos Latre and Pablo Motos discuss past television rivalry

Comedian Carlos Latre and presenter Pablo Motos shared a candid moment regarding Latre’s departure from the program ‘El Hormiguero’ two years ago. Latre recalled that when he informed Motos of his decision to move to Telecinco, Motos responded by emphasizing their personal friendship while acknowledging their professional rivalry, stating, “Let’s be gentlemen.”

Latre reflected on his brief and difficult tenure at Telecinco, specifically the cancellation of his program ‘Babylon Show’ after only ten nights. He explained that his move was intended to transition from an imitator to an entertainer rather than to compete directly with Motos. Latre expressed frustration with Mediaset’s lack of patience, noting that he had requested a margin of 100 programs to establish his format, but the network terminated the project within three weeks.
