Jordi Hurtado (Sant Feliu de Llobregat, 67 years old) will stop presenting the weekend edition of Know and win. He announced this Thursday in a meeting with media in Madrid to communicate novelties in the veteran contest of the 2nd. That does not mean that he stops broadcasting on the weekend: Rodrigo Vázquez (Ourense, 37 years old), until now the presenter of The hunterit will be the one who takes over on Saturdays and Sundays.
“There is an immense work capacity and I want to rest,” Hurtado said Thursday in his appearance before the media. As he explained, this change will allow him to “lower the intensity” and devote more time to his family. For Rodrigo Vázquez, taking over from Hurtado on weekends will be “a responsibility” for what this space “both inside and outside our borders.” “Doing that little master’s degree and being able to learn from Jordi Hurtado is a luxury,” he added. As explained by the director of the space on weekends, Anaïs Schaaff, the format will have some changes to adapt to the personality of its new presenter.
