One of Spain’s most popular TV shows is Benafuente. A kind of Catalan version of Letterman, that has been responsible for probably the stupidest moment in recent television history; the 2008 nomination of a character from the show to the Eurovision song contest.

I don’t really have the patience for chat shows. Maybe I’m cynical but I feel like I’m being sold to the whole time. Oh Lady Gaga sits on a sofa too? I must buy her shit record.

But I genuinely like the segment featuring El Follonero. He’s a young, innocuous looking journalist that goes after some pretty high profile political targets and asks them uncomfortable questions. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s actually pretty unprecedented for a Spanish TV journalist to interview people without coming across as either sycophantic or patronising. He has terrible taste in leather jackets though!

Here’s a clip of him having a scarily candid chat with the leader of ETA’s (illegal) political party.
