El Reventonazo de la Chola secured the top spot in Saturday night ratings with 11.2 points, significantly outpacing competitors in the Peruvian television market. The variety show, hosted by Ernesto Pimentel’s character “La Chola Chabuca,” outperformed Edson Pa’ Qué Más (8.1 points), La Granja Vip (4.3 points), Me Caigo de Risa (3.2 points), and JB Noticias (2.9 points), according to industry audience measurement data.
Why Variety Shows Still Dominate Saturday Prime Time
The success of El Reventonazo de la Chola underscores the enduring appeal of traditional variety formats in Latin American television. By blending comedy sketches with high-profile guest appearances, such as the recent announcement regarding actor Carlos Villagrán, the program maintains consistent engagement. According to Pimentel, the program’s ability to draw multi-generational audiences remains its primary driver for high viewership figures.
The integration of international icons like Carlos Villagrán—famous for his role as “Kiko”—into local Peruvian programming is a proven strategy for boosting weekend ratings and social media buzz.
How New Content Debuts Affect Established Ratings
The entry of Edson Pa’ Qué Más into the Saturday lineup represents a significant shift, capturing 8.1 points in its debut. This figure places it as a strong contender in the entertainment sector. Pimentel publicly acknowledged the success of this new program, characterizing the relationship between the two productions as a “mancuerna” (partnership) that collectively bolsters the Saturday night audience share.

Future Trends in Peruvian Live Entertainment
Production houses are increasingly pivoting toward hybrid models that combine television broadcasts with live events. For instance, the production team behind El Reventonazo de la Chola is transitioning toward the July 16 opening of their circus show, Un principito en el circo de la Chola Chabuca. Featuring actor Edgar Vivar, this strategy leverages television celebrity status to drive physical ticket sales, a trend that experts suggest will become more prevalent as broadcasters look to diversify revenue streams.
