Added DiffLines:

A Spanish chat show broadcast from 1997 until 2005 on Telecinco and was pretty much the biggest thing on TV during its time. Presented by Xávier Sarda and, until 2002, "Galindo", a Martian played by dwarf character actor Martí Galindo; this show combined fun, shoe slapping and interviews to become almost invincible in the late-night slot from Mondays to Thursdays.
