GialappashowTV makes fun of itself
Four years from Never say…Talk, Gialappa’s Band is back on video, but without Carlo Taranto. «She has blessed us from above. You are in Liguria, you don’t really want to work. As soon as you ask him to move from the golden palace, you give him a displeasure», jokes Santin in the press conference. Although the trio has become a duo, its members promise to continue to entertain the public, thanks to the biting irony and to the complicity of the companion of “a new edition, begun in 2001”, they ironize.
At the center of the episodes, the commentary of some television programs – such as Masterchef Italy, Beijing Express, X Factor And Ex on the beach –, sporting events and catchphrases from social media and the web. Gialappa’s is entrusted with remote commentary, as per tradition, while Forest leads from the studio, «a criminal friendly place where shady things will happen»they anticipate.
«We will comment on the films in our own way – and that is badly – coming from the Sky world or from other networks that go to satellite, like the wonderful Ex on the beach. In comparison the Big Brother it seems Peppa Pig» explains Gherarducci, not hiding his ironic vein. «Back to our old style», adds Santin. And the concept of «old-fashioned» also fits the return of the famous intercomon which the face of the host or comedian who is about to perform appears.
“There will be some mistakes. We are aiming for 30 complaints in the first episode”, jokes Santin. Gherarducci retorts: «We need to be aware of the consequences». «The rule is good taste and making people laugh. We will be politically incorrect. We won’t talk about Rai, but Stefano Rapone will be there, who will be Rai’s spokesman».

Piersilvio Berlusconi has said several times that he would have liked to do it again Never say. We tried to do something new, instead of a party in the past. The new thing was proposed to us here and we followed this path. We do not exclude the possibility of making two or three bets of Never say goals in the future, but it’s not faile, because so many of those comedians are busy».
