Sábado Gigante

Sábado Gigante (also known as Sábados Gigantes in plural) was a Chilean/American auditorium TV show produced by Canal 13 in Chile until 1992, and by Univision in the US since then. It was produced between 1962 and 2015 and became a global success.

===1962-1964===
The program was born as Show Dominical on 5 August 1962, inside Canal 13; however, due to unknown reasons, after just 3 weeks the program was cancelled and its presenter, Mario Kreutzberger (Don Francisco, which hosted the program for its entire existence), was fired. The program returned to the air by its public's demands.

By 1965, the program moved to Saturdays (reportedly, it was the only program that aired on Saturdays, as most of Canal 13's broadcasting equipment was cleaned up on those days) and was subsequently renamed to Sábados Gigantes.

In 1986, the program debuted on Spanish International Network (current Univision), changing its name to Sábado Gigante (in singular). This would mark the start of Sábado Gigante's international success, as Univision began exporting the program for broadcast in other countries.
