TV Ilegal was a Puerto Rican comedy/parody television show broadcast on WAPA-TV. The show parodieed both local and international shows and people like local news shows, telenovelas, variety shows, and others. Previously part of the cast worked on Sálvese Quien Pueda on Telemundo Puerto Rico.

The show featured comedians Ivonne Arraiga, Angel Figueroa, Abraham Martí, Herbert Crúz, Lizmarie Quintana, Edgardo "Bebo" Adames, Noris Joffre and Carlos Ramirez. The show might be considered as an equivalent of MADtv, which both featured parodies and other comedy skits. As of approximately in Spring/Summer of 2007, Abraham Martí left the show to pursue 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 the TV Ilegal posse was now part of Radio Ilegal on Cadena Salsoul.

The TV show's former website was: www.wapa.tv/tvilegal

TV Show Parodies

A list of local/international parodied shows.

Parody (Original)

  • 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 and funny.

  • SuperExplosivo (SuperXclusivo)
  • El (Anti-)Show de Maripilly - It is an original sketch featuring "Maripilly" and special guests.
  • Que Mala Suerte con Marrano (Que Suerte) This parody did not continue after Hector Marcano signed a 2 year contract with CaribeVisión on January 13, 2009, after being fired from Univision Puerto Rico, with a new name for Que Suerte: Fenomenal. When Fenomenal went on the air, a new parody was launched with a similar name.

Famous People Parodies

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)

  • Maripilly (Maripily; Puerto Rican model) - She is a disoriented model who never memorizes names correctly, and when corrected from a verbal error she says: "También" ("That too"). Her parody is most likely to be compared to London Tipton from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, which is likely to be a parody of Paris Hilton

  • La Comadre (La Comay) - Abraham Martí was originally La Comadre using his own face and not a mask while Herbert Cruz imitated Héctor Travieso.

Cancellation

Due to no advertisement revenue to pay the actors, the show was cancelled. The last show was on May 13, 2009 at the regular time but not live like it usually is.[1]

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.

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 (puertorrican) 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 seen it on television".

Rosario comented: "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.[2]

The favorite parodies are still being heard like Pedro Fosas Nasales, Maripilly, La Jueza, Charrytin, La Comadre, etc.
