Quack

Whoah! El Noticero was a television program broadcast in Colombia between 1995 and 1997. It was produced by RTI Televisión when it began on public television in 1995, a Colombian programmer of Cadena Uno de Inravisión and was broadcast during the hours of 7:00 p.m. (later it had a second broadcast at 11:00 p.m., also on Sundays). Its name alludes not only to the voice of the ducks, but also to the QAP newscast.

This program, with humorous-political content, was presented and acted by Jaime Garzón and seconded by Diego León Hoyos (in the role of María Leona Santodomingo). The scripts were in charge of Antonio Morales Riveira and Miguel Ángel Lozano.

It was not only satirized real personalities of the national life of Colombia and the world such as Álvaro Uribe, Ernesto Samper, Noemí Sanín, Myles Frechette, Fernando Botero Zea, Horacio Serpa Uribe, Álvaro Gómez Hurtado, high military commanders such as generals Harold Bedoya and Rito Alejo del Río named as the peacemaker of Urabá and paramilitary leaders such as Carlos Castaño among others. The events that at that time shook Colombia such as the 8000 process, as well as the paramilitary expansion in the country and the public order crisis in Urabá, Antioquia, were also satirized. He also invented characters such as Néstor Elí (as guard of the Colombia Building), Godofredo Cínico Caspa (Hated by María Leona and worked as an ultra-conservative lawyer), Quemando Central (army officer), John Lenin (protesting university student), Dioselina Tibaná (palace cook), Inti de la Hoz (a gummy journalist of youth-style entertainment), William Garra (and several times Farra and Narra, clever journalist) Carlos Mario Sarmiento Ganinsky (indolent super-businessman) saying his phrase What a jarto guy!, Pastor Rebaño (mannered, indolent and aristocratic bishop) and Frankenstein Fonseca (necrophilic and sinister in nature).

The phrase with which the program began was: Good evening, welcome to the greatest disinformation in Colombia and the world, in a self-critical and suggestive way.
