The proposal came in front of millions of viewers, during the tribute evening for Maurizio Costanzo at the Parioli theater. Pier Silvio Berlusconi addresses Fazio, presenter along with Maria De Filippi: 'Fabio, when you finally come to us - says Berlusconi - I also feel that you could become a daily, the intuition that my father had with Maurizio. So, if you want, we are here'. The host and the CEO of Mediaset smile. Fazio replies: 'Well, I just started on Nove. However, Pier Silvio, in case, we'll talk about it in a few years'. A joke that - at least for the moment - cannot become reality.

Dedicated to you, Maria De Filippi and the moving gesture for Maurizio Costanzo's daughter

The contract with Discovery

As Fazio reminded, a few months ago he left Rai to land on the channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. The contract lasts for four years, the first of which is not yet over. Fazio has already anticipated that he will retire after this experience. On Nove, Che tempo che fa is achieving results equal to those he had on Rai and the fact is sensational, now consolidated, not only linked to the novelty of the debut.

The Fabio Fazio Show on Channel 5 therefore does not seem feasible, even if Pier Silvio Berlusconi's 'intuition' is certainly correct. If Fazio is currently a dream, Maria De Filippi is a certainty: 'She has invented a new way of doing television and we are proud to have her on Channel 5 always. Always'. The words of Pier Silvio Berlusconi, with that double 'always', seal, once again, a television marriage that has been going on for over 30 years.
