The comedian begins to say goodbye to the audience: "My greatest aspiration has been to lie down"

Presenter José Miguel Monzón, the Great Wyoming, has used humor and irony, his trademark, to confirm his retirement from the small screen. And he has shared with the audience of El intermedia, the program he has hosted on La Sexta for two decades, his feelings regarding his departure: "Throughout my life my greatest aspiration has been to lie down doing nothing, it only took me 71 years to achieve it," he began his farewell speech.

A goodbye that will be delayed, since the showman will still be in charge of the politics and humor space until January, a task in which he will be accompanied by his replacement, Gonzo, until now in charge of Salvados on the same network. A short period of time that he does not want to last forever since, in his words, since he was a child his dream "was always to be retired" and, as he said in this Thursday's program with sarcasm, he wants to fulfill his goal "lest the Vox people come to the Government and take away my pension."

Although he has not abandoned his witty tone, the presenter has been clear: he will not appear on the screens in any other program, his retirement is total. "Will you be able to see me anywhere else? Well no. One way or another I will always be linked to this program." He has stressed, however, that his goodbye does not at all mean the end of El Intermedio and he has praised his team and his replacement: "Can this mean the end of El Intermedio? Never. This program is made by more than 100 people and the one who leaves is only one. The most attractive? Obviously. But the program will continue with the same commitment to truth, informative rigor and intelligent humor."

A minimal concession to seriousness to recover the joking attitude: "How is it different from normal humor? In that it is not so funny," he continued.
