From Olivia J – Mr. Pop – Can you give me a little background on a TV show called “Sabado Gigante” and that guy who’s on it. I don’t speak Spanish, but it looks interesting.

Mr. Pop History – It’s a unique show – in that – it has been on the air since 1962. The man’s name is Mario Kreutzberger, but everyone knows him as Don Francisco. The original show launched in 1962 in Santiago Chile on Sunday and was originally titled “Omnibus.” After a short time, it moved to Saturdays and the name (Giant Saturday)“Sabado Gigante.” It originally was an 8-hour show. “Sabado” was first broadcast in this country on Univision – back in 1986 and there it remains. It’s as popular as ever Don Francisco
