S.am still there. As promised, Vanessa Incontrada And Claudio Bisio they return to inebriate us with their irony and with the effervescence of Zeligshow from irreverent but kind comedy. The appointment is for tonight up Channel 5 at 21.20. Three early evenings and the (concrete) possibility that the program prolong a little. On stage we see some of the “Veterans”that is, the comedians who made the history of Zelig and many too new recruits.
Zeligthe first episode dedicated to Bruno Arena
The show reopens its doors dedicating its first episode to a comedian “born” just in Zelig: Bruno Arena. Disappeared last September, he was the “half” of Prickly pears (the other half was Max Cavallari), a comic duo that has become popular Zelig. They were the first editions, those of half The ninetiesair on Italy 1 (the show has moved on Channel 5 in 2003). TO Bruno Arenathis first episode is dedicated to his world, to his life.
Then, space as usual format which decreed the success of the show that this year it celebrates 36 years of comedy, of which 26 are broadcast on TV (the first episode was in 1996 on Italia 1, the first evening in the historic venue in Viale Monza in Milan in May 1986).
There are the “mattatori” presenters, soul of the evening’s irony, (Bisio And Meet precisely, also their historical presence of the program, given that Bisio has already conducted 13 editions and Meet 6). Then off to the tribe of comedians. “But there will be fewer musical moments and more sketches,” he explained Bisio to Tv Smiles and songs.
The comic tribe: between old and new generation
On the stage of the TAM Teatro degli Arcimboldi some historical comedians from Zelighow Ale and Franz, Roberto Lipari, Mister Forest, Maurizio Lastrico, Max Angioni, Nut, Raul Cremona, Leonardo Manera, Enrico Bertolino, Paolo Cevoli, Vincenzo Albano, Meaning of Opium.
Come back too Teresa Mannino, ready to glue the viewer to the screen with one of her long-awaited monologues. Not expected, but much sought after by the program, it is then Checco Zalonecomedian from Bari always took off from Zelig (it was 2005 when all of Italy discovered his incorrect comedy). At the Arcimboldi in Milan, Zalone will perform when finished Zelig. Bring the new show with which the boot is shooting, Love + VAT (in which it also targets Vladimir Putin), but the hope of the hosts is that it will also make a foray into the program.

But Zelig it is also (and above all) a laboratory throwing young comedians. So much space is left to them: the new generation. We expect to see the exuberant Turin Federica Ferrero, Vincenzo Comunale, Neapolitan winner of the Massimo Troisi Prize, e Carlo Hamletwhich is imposing itself with its Tg Zero.
The return of Zelig on TV
Zelig it returned to air on Canale 5 last year after a five-year absence. It was, in fact, since 2016 that it was not broadcast. The episodes of 2021 have glued to the screen more or less four million viewers per evening. This success has led to the top Mediaset to decide to confirm this new edition of the show, now considered the Comedy festivala kind of “Sanremo of the comedians”.

In the summer, they went on the air the reruns of the previous edition and those too were a success: they achieved about two million viewers, for a share of almost 16%. In the summer an excellent result.
“We have perhaps found the formula for longevity,” he said Bisio, «A few evenings to leave the desire in the spectators». For now they are planned three episodes. But also the reruns broadcast in the summer were to be only threeinstead they have become four. It is therefore likely that this new season will last longer.
