Who is Comay? For some it is the doll that entertains them at 5:55 pm, for others it is simply the object of their repudiation. But what does Antuli “Kobbo” Santarrosa mean to its creator?

“To me she’s a character, to people she’s a human being. Sometimes I’m surprised how people talk to Comay. Every time they write, they call the lines, they refer to her as a human being. the way we put it, we humanized it and that’s something that satisfies me, ”Santarrosa assured the spokesman.

With his wrist he started in Telemundo and jumped to Wapa, where he was 14 years, until January 2013, after a SuperXclusive boycott. The withdrawal ended on January 28, 2019, with the return of Comay for Mega TV, where he remained until December 18, 2020, after not renewing his contract. Yesterday he joined TeleOnce, formerly Univisión Puerto Rico, occupying the 5:55 pm schedule, Monday through Friday.

In the different boycotts executed against the program and its personage it has called to him racist, homophobic and xenophobic.

“That even makes me funny. Homophobic I’ve never been, never will be and never was. I’m an individual in my house …. I have so many friends and employees of the environment, who tell me laughing: ‘out there they say and how homophobic you are. ‘No racist, my father was like this (black) and my sister, we are all black. But if one says anything hesitantly, there is no way. No xenophobic, my breads are Dominican, of everything, ”he replied.

He said he had no regrets.

He also distanced himself from those who accuse him of hurting from his space.

“Let someone come and say, ‘Kobbo Santarrosa or Comay broke up my marriage, it hurt me,’ because that’s what they say, ‘Comay hurting, damaging reputations.’ But what a reputation, of whom, let them call me a name. Basically, everything that has been talked about in my show whether it’s Telemundo, Wapa and Mega, has been totally true. That one or the other one is wrong, but this mistake is not like breaking up a marriage or hurting, “said the puppeteer.

To this he added: “There are people who have commented that because of Comay or Kobbo, the mother or father died. But how, where, let them explain, but they cannot explain. It has never been done to them. wrong, the person believes he was hurt. “

However, he said “many things” have been silenced. “If I put a lot of gossip here, at least 30% tell people that this can’t go because it can create tragedy. Not everything can be thrown away, I can’t take this like a machine gun. It’s not my duty to destroy one person, I will not mention the cases, but they have been very strong, “he said.

The new presenter

Faced with the impossibility of Rocky the Kid to accompany Comay, Santarrosa selected the speaker Yan Ruiz, who used to replace Héctor Travieso in his early years on Wapa TV.

“Yan is very versatile, he has a beautiful verb, he’s a dandy, and I have no doubt we’re going to put her in China. He’s a well-prepared guy and we’ll form the vacillation. The important thing here is Comay, she’s “The star of the show. Yan like Eddie (Miró), Travieso and Rocky were his wildcards. It will be a success, people will want it just like everyone else,” he said enthusiastically. Ricardo Eladio, hopes to have several reporters.

To this end, he talked to Jessica Serrano, but did not accept because in the mornings he is in the care of his daughters and could not comply with the coverages.
