'El hormiguero,' hosted by Pablo Motos, marked its 3,000th episode on Monday with Italian singer Laura Pausini as the star guest. The performer delivered an interview packed with anecdotes, humor, and musical performances. The show featured celebrations, dances, and emotional speeches to commemorate the milestone.
On Monday, October 27, 2025, 'El hormiguero' celebrated its 3,000th episode on Antena 3. From the start, the team energized the audience with a dance mostly featuring men and a roar from Pablo Motos, possibly Halloween-inspired. The host removed his jacket amid jokes from an ant urging him to 'take it all off.' Motos delivered an emotional thank-you speech and paid tribute to Jorge Salvador with Leonardo Dantés music, as collaborators laughed at his jokes.
Laura Pausini, a regular guest described as 'the Italian Sergio Dalma,' took control of the show. She spoke candidly about topics like poop, toilet bowls, making love, and her dislike of her own butt. She shared her love for horoscopes, favoring Virgos over Geminis. She imitated French and Portuguese accents, got playful, and recounted stories: stage falls, the Louvre robbery—as a ceramics teacher and museum enthusiast—and celebrity encounters, such as Jim Carrey staring at her breasts. She mildly criticized that owners of the 'El hormiguero Club Infiniti' mug are only men.
Musically, she performed live verses of Alejandro Sanz's 'Cuando nadie me ve' and Gianluca Grignani's 'La historia entre tus dedos,' a song from 30 years ago. She joined a science team's choreography with mobiles, using 42 phones and 5 tablets from Rossellimac, set to music by 'El Conejo de la Loles.' Pausini participated in a final charanga, embodying the authenticity Motos calls the formula for success.
