Logo of the program

El Intermedio (The Intermission in Spanish) is a Spanish news satire television program produced by Globomedia and broadcast on LaSexta since 2006. It was created by Miguel Sánchez Romero, who created similar successful comedy shows such as El club de la comedia, Noche Hache and 59 segundos.[1][2]

The program has been hosted since 2006 by El Gran Wyoming, and was originally co-hosted by Beatriz Montañez until 2011, and since then by Sandra Sabatés. It is aired in access prime-time from Monday to Thursday at 9:30pm: originally the sho was broadcast five days a week yet was changed in 2010.

Currently the show has nine main collaborators: Sandra Sabatés, Thais Villas, Dani Mateo, Joaquín Reyes, Guillermo Fesser, Álvaro Carmona, Iván Lagarto, Manuel Burque, Andrea Ropero and Sara Escudero. Its production team is composed of more than forty people. It also remains the only programme on LaSexta to have been aired continuously since its beginning.

The show's theme tune, called "Give me a break", was composed especially for the program by Juan Carlos Cuello and produced by Sound Garden Producciones. Indeed, the show is marketed around the world as "The Break", yet has not attracted international versions, and the US show The Break with Michelle Wolf is unrelated if similar in style.

The writers are Alberto López, Alberto González Vázquez, Lola Zambade, Eva Nuño Gómez, Nuria Dominguez, Diego Solanas, Eduardo García Eyo, Sergio Sarria Ruiz, Juan José López and Miguel Ángel Hernández.[3][4][5] Alberto González Vázquez is also the author of the popular segment videos manipulados (counterfeit videos).[6][7][8][9] [10][11]
