From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

El Gordo y la Flaca (translated, The Fat Man and the Skinny Lady) is a Spanish language television talk show which parodies Laurel & Hardy, the 1930's comedy act. It first aired on 21 September 1998 and is hosted by Raúl De Molina aka El Gordo and Lili Estefan aka La Flaca. Estefan is the niece of music mogul and producer Emilio Estefan, husband of singer/song writer Gloria Estefan.

El Gordo's often irreverent attitude is balanced by La Flaca's more demure manner. The show combines interviews with actors, musicians and other celebrities with reports on their comings and goings. The show appears week days on the Spanish language television network Univisión. It is filmed in the network's studios in Miami, Florida.

Trivia

• On December 15, 2006 as send-off homage to Rebelde, El Gordo y la Flaca opened with the cast dressed in Elite Way school uniforms with Lili Estefan as Mía Colucci and Raúl De Molina as Giovanni Méndez (complete in dyed orange/red hair) while doing a parody to the show's opening theme, Rebelde. It is notable that homage was pre-recorded as Raúl De Molina did not appear on the show on this day when Rebelde was shown for the final time in the United States.
