The pair of records returns to the management of ‘Striscia la Notizia’. After Argentero-Siani, Siani-Incontrada and Friscia-Lipari, from Monday 12 December it is the turn of Ezio Greggio and Enzo Iacchetti, who begin their 29th consecutive edition as presenters of Antonio Ricci’s satirical news.
With 2,579 episodes conducted together, the Greggio-Iacchetti couple is the longest-lived on the satirical news. Ezio Greggio, 4,233 episodes in his curriculum vitae, has been on Striscia la Notizia since day one: November 7, 1988. Enzo Iacchetti, on the other hand, made his debut in Antonio Ricci’s variety show on September 26, 1994 and, to date, has hosted 2,765 episodes. The couple will remain at the helm of Striscia until 11 February 2023.
“I’ve spent half my life sitting behind the counter at Striscia – comments Ezio Greggio – I’m a piece of furniture, a pillar of the foundations and a progenitor inhabitant of that house. We will spend with our viewers the beautiful Christmas holidays, at the end and the beginning of the year together: my partner and I guarantee you fun evenings directly at your home. “When I start Striscia con Ezio again – adds Enzo Iacchetti – I am as happy as when a child is born”.
Giancarlo Scheri, director of Canale 5, concludes: “I greet and thank Friscia and Lipari, a duo that leaves Striscia strong with growing audiences, despite the value of the Qatari football offer. Meanwhile, on Canale 5, the return of Ezio Greggio and Enzo Iacchetti in Striscia la Notizia marks one of the most awaited moments of the television season. Revolutionary past and solid present of the satirical news, the couple is a cornerstone of the most iconic program of Antonio Ricci, deus ex machina of Italian TV. Good luck, therefore , and good luck to all the great team of Striscia!”.
