Cuban comedian Andy Vázquez is in poor health after being infected with Covid-19, according to presenter and comedian José Carlucho during his show on Univista TV.
“I can’t have a Skype, Zoom, or phone interview right now, because of Andy Vázquez’s health right now, who isn’t facing a normal Covid-19, because he hit it hard. said Carlucho, who launched the news.
“The only thing that made me make this audience is the love and feeling of all his colleagues,” said the presenter, visibly affected, after showing pictures of Vázquez in the hospital.
“If I ever asked to help someone raise money (…) Today the only thing I want to ask is a prayer to everyone for the restoration of Andy Vázquez, which is very necessary, he gives himself to love much and is part of Univista TV, “he added.
The presenter said he could not be sure that Vázquez was watching The Carlucho show These days, however, he said he will have all the medical care because they have done all the necessary coordination.
“He hit him very hard and he is going through very difficult moments. All I ask of you is to pray for this Cuban, who came to go into exile like all of us who are here and to give him all his talent,” Carlucho concluded.
Vázquez was expelled at the end of 2019 from the popular Cuban television program Live the story because he used his character, Facundo Correcto, to parody the opening of the Cuatro Caminos market, which after a few months of propaganda in the official media proved to be chaotic.
The decision to separate Vázquez from the show received harsh criticism. His character Facundo Correcto, the president of the Neighborhood Council of the neighborhood where it takes place Live the story, was replaced by a new “political framework”, Felipe Recio, played by actor Miguel Moreno Rodríguez.
Following the sanction, the comedian decided to stay and live in Miami, where he found work in Carlucho’s show, and stated that his “The relationship with Cuba, like that of all Cubans scattered around the world, will be eternal,” he said, adding that “as long as that government exists,” it will not return to the island.
