The series ‘Who Killed Him?’ presents the fictional stories of six people close to Paco Stanley to try to answer the question of who ended the life of the famous TV presenter.
Although the Amazon Prime Video production warns at the beginning of each episode that fiction is mixed with reality, it has renewed the audience’s interest in the real events that surrounded the presenter. Such is the case that caused his departure from the television station that hosted him for years: this is known.
Why is the “Pácatelas!” program over? of Paco Stanley at Televisa?
“Pácatelas!”, Paco Stanley’s last program on Televisa, had high ratings, so few imagined it would end abruptly. Not even his own host, since, according to various sources, Paco Stanley’s dismissal from Televisa was a surprise.
The ViX documentary “The show, Chronicle of a show” shows that the decision to cancel the program was made by Emilio Azcárraga Jean, who after the death of his father Emilio Azcárraga Milmo, took over the management of the television station and proposed to renew it . programming .
Mario Bezares supported this version in a July 2023 interview in “La Saga”. As he said, “every time “El Tigre” left. [Milmo] On vacation, Paco finished his programs (and) when ‘El Tigre’ came back, they gave it back to him.” However, after the director’s death, “they no longer spoke to Pakos”.
However, Jorge Gil told a very different version in his book “My Truth, The Stanley Case”. According to what he said, Paco Stanley’s departure was because “El Tigre” got upset when his driver jokingly introduced an unknown woman as his wife, and later laughingly revealed that it was not true. This is a version similar to the one shown in “Who Killed Him?”, although in the series, the joke that makes the manager uncomfortable is about the pompadour.
Paco Stanley changed TV stations
The truth is that the end of his contract with Televisa did not mean the end of his career in television. In December 1998 he premiered in the program “One after other” on TV Azteca. The change of TV station at the time caused a lot of controversy, but it also brought high ratings.
However, this program did not even last a year, since on June 7, 1999, Paco Stanley died as the victim of an armed attack.
