Striscia la Notizia Makes Its Prime Time Debut
The first time in prime time. Tonight, Thursday 22 January, Striscia la Notizia – La Voce della Presence debuts in prime time. The satirical news program of Antonio Ricci arrives in a new prestigious schedule location on Canale 5 with five episodes, one a week, hosted by Ezio Greggio and Enzo Iacchetti as always between variety, satire and investigations.
The Showgirls and the Band, the News
Together with Greggio and Iacchetti, in a completely renovated studio, there will be six Showgirls: Alessia Anzioli, Lavinia Circeo, Ginevra Festa, Lara Granata, Nausica Marasca and Virginia Stablum. Absolute novelty of the program, a live band directed by the maestro Demo Morselli.
Maria De Filippi “Blesses” the Debut
Exceptionally in the first episode, Maria De Filippi flanked by Tina Cipollari and Giovannino will try her hand at the unprecedented role of correspondent of the satirical news program. The trio’s mission: deliver the iconic “shit” of Striscia to those who park their car unduly in the space reserved for people with disabilities.
