===Radio spin-off===
As of May 21, 2009, producer Agustín Rosario rose up TV Ilegal from television to radio. And this is because after only a week from its cancellation, the TV Ilegal posse are now continuing their parodies on a radio show on [[Cadena Salsoul]] (98.5 FM), from 12pm-2pm, called '''''Radio Ilegal'''''. Rosario now hosts the radio show and leads it with actors Herbert Cruz, Noris Joffre, Lizmarie Quintana, and other talents that parody television and political people. The new TV Ilegal now consists of a weekday radioshow, that still parodies in its own comedy way as it did when broadcast on air.
On May 21, 2009, producer Agustín Rosario took TV Ilegal to radio on [[Cadena Salsoul]] with a weekly radio show called '''''Radio Ilegal''''', only a week from its television departure. Rosario hosted the radio show with actors Herbert Cruz, Noris Joffre, Lizmarie Quintana, and other talents that parody television and political people. The radio show kept the parody concept of local politicians and celebrities, with the "benefit that people can imagine them [the characters], because they have already seen it on television", according to Uno Radio Group Chain President, Luis "Tuto" Soto.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.primerahora.com/diario/noticia/tv/espectaculosasi/desde_manana_tv_ilegal_sera_radio_ilegal/300165|title=Primera Hora: Desde mañana TV Ilegal será Radio Illegal (May 19, 2009) |accessdate=2009-05-22}}</ref>

Uno Radio Group Chain President, Luis "Tuto" Soto, said: "While workshops are being closed down, we have the venture and the insanity to produce because we believe in the local (Puerto Rican) talent and we have faith in those here. And we are sure that the public will receive that talent".

Agustín Rosario said that the radio show will keep the parody concept of different figures of the political and entertaintment areas, but with the "benefit that people can imagine them (the characters), because they have already seen it on television".

Rosario commented: "Cancellations are lamentable because we are in a moment where the people are going through an economical and emotional state. And taking away the comedy is not a good decision. I don't want to add anything more to this topsy-turvy, but the only thing I have to say is all my worries have been let known.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.primerahora.com/diario/noticia/tv/espectaculosasi/desde_manana_tv_ilegal_sera_radio_ilegal/300165|title=Primera Hora: Desde mañana TV Ilegal será Radio Illegal (May 19, 2009) |accessdate=2009-05-22}}</ref>

===Return to TV===
After more than three years, ''TV Ilegal'' returned to television to [[WLII-DT|Univision Puerto Rico]] on October 1, 2012 as ''Noche Ilegal'' (stylized as ''NOCHE [i]LEGAL''). Herbert Cruz, Lizmarie Quintana, Ivonne Arriaga and Ángel Figueroa reprise each of their parodies and introduce new ones as well; Abraham Martí was briefly part of the cast but left afterwards. Noris Joffre and Edgardo "El Bebo" Adames are the only two cast member from the original ''TV Ilegal'' to not return. Episodes ran for 30 minutes, including commercials, airing weekly nights. They were initially hosted by various local celebrities, politicians or artists, later hosted by [[Gricel Mamery]]. ''Noche Illegal'' was the final show left in its programming block after Univision Puerto Rico discontinued most of its local workshops including the morning, noon and afternoon news.

TV Ilegal, stylized as tv [i]lεgal, was a Puerto Rican comedy and parody/satire television show broadcast on WAPA-TV from 2006 to 2009. The show parodied both local and international shows and people such as local shows, telenovelas, variety shows and others. Most of the cast had previously worked on Sálvese Quien Pueda on Telemundo.

The show's cast featured comedians Herbert Cruz, Ivonne Arriaga, Noris Joffre, Lizmarie Quintana, Abraham Martí, Ángel Figueroa, Edgardo "El Bebo" Adames and Carlos Ramírez. In 2007, Abraham Martí left the show to pursue music and acting opportunities in Spain and abroad. On May 13, 2009, the show broadcast its last episode due to no advertisement revenue to pay the actors. After a week of cancellation, a few of the cast members moved the show's format to Cadena Salsoul in Radio Ilegal.

TV Ilegal aired two specials broadcast in Telemundo in November 2011 and early 2012, before returning to television to Univision Puerto Rico on October 1, 2012 on Noche Ilegal. Herbert Cruz, Lizmarie Quintana, Ivonne Arriaga, Abraham Martí and Ángel Figueroa returned as part of the cast, except for Noris Joffre, Carlos Ramirez and Edgardo "El Bebo" Adames. The show ended in 2015.

TV show parodies

[edit]
Parody Original Description
Noti-Jierro a las 10:00 Noticentro a las 10:00 It has been the most popular parody due to the parody of Pedro Rosa Nales, whose catchphrase ("¡Oye! ¡Eso 'ta bueno!") is also what made the parody very popular.
Caso Enterrado Caso Cerrado Portrays a parody of Dr. Ana María Polo with a very suggestive lesbian preference presiding the court and awarding the case to the defendant, which was usually a young, beautiful woman.
Ahora Podemos Gufiar Ahora Podemos Hablar Its host, Carmen Jodet, is often portrayed as a biased journalist who often questioned her guests if they were linked to Kobbo Santarrosa, with whom the real Carmen Jovet has had many feuds. Santarrosa's La Comay often criticized Jovet's ethics over her interviewing methods.
SuperExplosivo SuperXclusivo
El (Anti-)Show de Maripilly Original sketch Maripilly's talk show.
Sabado Picante Sabado Gigante
Que Mala Suerte con Marrano Qué Suerte
Prison de Castro Break Prison Break Introduced after the arrest of senator Jorge de Castro Font in 2008.
El Gran Caso De Aníbal Original sketch Aníbal Acevedo Vilá case on electronic fraud accusations.

Parodies of famous people

[edit]

A list of famous people (Puerto Rican, or International). These are the people that get their own skit, rather than appear "inside" main show parodies.

Parody Original Description
Maripilly Maripily Rivera Puerto Rican model and entrepreneur. She is portrayed as a disoriented model who never correctly remembers names and when corrected from a verbal error she replies: "También" ("That too").
Titi Luz Ruth Fernández She is portrayed wearing a boa made out of money, who casually approaches people in need of money. Supposedly, the original person took money from the House of the Artist fund, which was underway for construction.
Héctor Marrano Hector Marcano Host of Que Mala Suerte con Marrano.
Los Rayos Grama Los Rayos Gamma An ode to the original group, the parody also satirized current events.
Pedro Fosas Nasales Pedro Rosa Nales Co-anchor of Notijierro a las 10:00. The most popular parody for his catchphrase: "¡Oye! ¡Eso ta' bueno!".
Luz Melena Verde Luz Nereida Vélez Co-anchor of Notijierro a las 10:00 alongside Pedro Fosas Nasales. Portrayed as an unpleasant person who makes unfunny jokes.
Carmen Jodet Carmen Jovet Constantly whines about Kobbo Santarrosa's "supposed plot" to out-throw her from television and often accuses her guests of conspiring with Santarrosa.
Charrytín Charytín A very hyperactive woman who talks very rapidly like the original.
La Comadre La Comay Abraham Martí originally played La Comadre using his own face instead of a mask, while Herbert Cruz portrayed Héctor Atravieso (parodying Héctor Travieso). After Martí left, Cruz took over as La Comadre using a mask like the original unaccompanied by a sidekick.
Ana María Pollo "La Jueza" Ana María Polo Portrayed with a very suggestive lesbian preference.
Rubén Cháncez Rubén Sánchez Interviewed real life guests while using various unusual pens, a parody to the actual reporter's pen-pointing interviewing style.
De Castro Jorge de Castro Font Introduced after the senator was arrested in 2008.
Luis Flojuño Luis Fortuño Governor of Puerto Rico, 2009–2013
El Gobe Aníbal Aníbal Acevedo Vilá Governor of Puerto Rico, 2005–2009
Silita "La Gobe" Sila María Calderón First female Governor of Puerto Rico, 2001–2005

Cancellation

[edit]

Facing insufficient advertisement revenue during their time slot to pay the cast, the show was ultimately cancelled in May 2009, with its final broadcast on May 13, 2009.[1]

Aftermath

[edit]

Radio spin-off

[edit]

On May 21, 2009, producer Agustín Rosario took TV Ilegal to radio on Cadena Salsoul with a weekly radio show called Radio Ilegal, only a week from its television departure. Rosario hosted the radio show with actors Herbert Cruz, Noris Joffre, Lizmarie Quintana, and other talents that parody television and political people. The radio show kept the parody concept of local politicians and celebrities, with the "benefit that people can imagine them [the characters], because they have already seen it on television", according to Uno Radio Group Chain President, Luis "Tuto" Soto.[2]

Television specials

[edit]

In November 2011, TV Ilegal returned to television with a special broadcast in Telemundo; Noris Joffre, who worked in WAPA at the time, did not appear. A second television special was aired in 2012 on Telemundo, introducing new parodies such as Dando Manigueta (Dando Candela), the Gricel Mamery/Javier Ceriani exposure incident, José Ortiz "El Buen Samaritano", a clairvoyant claiming he spoke to the spirit of murdered child Lorenzo González Cacho; the Manny Manuel car accident and Dinga & Matraca (Minga & Petraca).

Return to TV

[edit]

After more than three years, TV Ilegal returned to television to Univision Puerto Rico on October 1, 2012 as Noche Ilegal (stylized as NOCHE [i]LEGAL). Herbert Cruz, Lizmarie Quintana, Ivonne Arriaga and Ángel Figueroa reprised each of their parodies and introduced new ones as well; Abraham Martí was briefly part of the cast but left afterwards. Noris Joffre and Edgardo "El Bebo" Adames were the only two cast members from the original show to not return. Episodes ran for 30 minutes, including commercials, airing weekly nights, and were initially hosted by various local celebrities, politicians or artists, later permanently hosted by Gricel Mamery. Noche Illegal was the final show left in Univision Puerto Rico's local programming block after the network discontinued most of its local workshops including the morning, noon and afternoon newscast. The show was ultimately cancelled in 2015.
