Is Don Francisco Dead or Alive?

Don Francisco is alive as of 2024. Fans were glad to know that despite the rumors that circulated every so often, 79-year-old Don Francisco was still alive and well, and at that time, he was gearing up for some big celebrations. On December 28, 2020, the Chilean TV host was set to turn 80, and, as he had told Lili Estefan (who rose to fame on his show) on El Gordo y la Flaca, he was also getting ready to celebrate 60 years of marriage to his wife, Teresa “Temmy” Rosenblum.

Together, Mario and Temmy had shared three children — including TV presenter Vivi Kreutzberger — and nine grandkids. Born in Chile, Mario had gotten a job in television when TVs arrived in his country. However, he had been handed the least desirable day of the week, Saturday, which was used for cleaning out studio equipment. With the eight-hour slot he had been given, Mario had created Sábados Gigantes (as it was originally known before it arrived in the United States Univision), using elements he had seen on American television, such as games, skits, and comedy bits.
