This past Saturday, Cuban comedian Andy Vázquez cleared up a misunderstanding regarding a rumored show debuting alongside Luis Silva in Miami on the YouTube channel The Dolphin TV. Vázquez explained to CiberCuba that it was a mistake. The platform was set to re-broadcast a sketch he did with Silva several years ago as part of a summary show aired from Monday to Thursday. However, the photo with the comedian known for portraying Pánfilo and the video title led viewers to believe a new "Vivir del Cuento" was premiering in Miami, which is incorrect.
The YouTube announcement, which was later taken down, advertised the debut of a show titled "Vivir sin Cuento" for that Saturday, a creation generated by artificial intelligence. During a live stream on his Facebook profile, Vázquez expanded on the details, stating that there has been no deal to launch a season of "Vivir del Cuento" in Miami, nor have the artists involved discussed it.
The person in charge of The Dolphin TV, appearing alongside the comedian in the live stream, revealed that the editor responsible for the erroneous publication was terminated. "You have to consider the consequences first; unfortunately, he lost his job, but I cannot afford to lose the trust the audience has in the platform," emphasized the comedian.
Regarding his relationship with Luis Silva, Andy Vázquez mentioned being informed by the public that Silva is in the United States and allegedly plans to stay, although Vázquez himself has not communicated with his colleague: "I haven't spoken to Silva since he's been in this country. Whether he plans to stay or not, I don't know."
Despite the confusion, what remains is the anticipation among the Cuban audience for a "Vivir del Cuento" in Miami, especially now that Silva, along with other iconic characters from the show such as Andy Vázquez, Omar Franco, and Irela Bravo, are in the country.
