You already know the news. Now, we will tell you the truth.
Spanish satirical show created by Miguel Sánchez Romero. It started in 2006 on then-newborn channel laSexta, and is still running as of 2020. It is hosted by comedian José Miguel Monzón "El Gran Wyoming" and Sandra Sabatés, who joined the show in 2011 after previous co-host Beatriz Montañez left. At first it was just a comedy show that poked fun at media and politicians, but has evolved to the point of being described as "an anti-establishment news show", mixing its satirical origins with a more serious, journalistic content.
Tropes seen in this show:
- 20 Minutes into the Future: Played for Laughs in the "Wyoming from space" skits seen in 2008 that imagined what Spain would be like in the 2040 decade. For instance, in this segment the Wyoming from the future would inform us that King John Charles I had retired from his duties to pursue a career in professional wrestling, and his granddaughter Leonor had finished her first speech as Queen shouting "Hail the Republic!".
- Catchphrase: Wyoming has usual lines to both start and close the show. Both are quoted in this page.
- Cluster Bleep-Bomb: The show once had a section about animal documentaries called "Animales hijos de p[bleep]a" (roughly "Animals that are children of a b[bleep]ch"), hosted by Yolanda Ramos, and the word "puta" was bleeped out both at the title of the section and any time Yolanda or Wyoming said it, which tended to result in this trope.
- Crazy-Prepared: In October 2016, Gonzo did a report of PSOE'snote Federal Commitee meeting, which was expected to be tense, in full war correspondent gear.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Started out as a weekly Thursday night show that parodied and criticized media gaffes. For its second season, it became daily, airing from Mondays to Thursdays with shorter runtime.
- Also, the first season occasionally featured virtual characters parodying radio hosts Federico Jiménez Losantos and Carles Francino. They were never seen again from the second season onwards.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: Ahead of the 2008 general election, the show aired a series of 'debates', each of which consisted in two politicians from ideologically opposed parties facing off... at videogames.
- Guest Host:
- When the show went daily, it briefly had an episode on Fridays as well, that was hosted by Pablo Carbonell and later by Juanra Bonet.
- Sandra Sabatés once had to sit out an episode due to a loss of voice. laSexta journalists Cristina Pardo, Antonio García Ferreras and Ana Pastor took turns in filling in for her.
- Intrepid Reporter: Fernando González aka "Gonzo". He first became popular on another satirical show, Caiga Quien Caiga, interviewing town mayors to take to them complaints from citizens. Now he provides the serious reports on El Intermedio.
- His reports usually provide a Mood Whiplash as well, since he has covered events such as the refugee crisis in Greece or the bombings in Belgium.
- The Points Mean Nothing: On an episode, Wyoming started debating whether to stay Catholic or convert to Islam, and when being informed about Islam, started awarding both religions one point for each aspect in which he found them to be better than the other. Islam was building a sizeable lead... until Wyoming found out that it bans alcohol, which led to him throwing the score out the window right then and there and praying for God to forgive him for having doubted his faith.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Wyoming is the Red Oni, providing the comical part of the show, while Sandra Sabatés is the Blue Oni, telling the news in a serious manner.
- The Remnant: The only show from laSexta's original lineup that's still on air as of 2023.
- Rhymes on a Dime: A Running Gag from the early seasons was a computer with a "Windows from Cádiz" operative system, that would answer to whatever it was asked with a dirty rhyme.
- Spin-Off: The short-lived "International Edition" hosted by Dani Mateo in 2013.
- Take That!: Plenty. They constitute the base of the first half of the show.
