Andrea Pucci receives Tapiro and stings Fiorello

In the next episode of Striscia la notizia, airing Thursday, Feb. 19 in prime time on Channel 5, Valerio Staffelli will deliver the Golden Tapiro to Andrea Pucci, protagonist in spite of himself in a controversy that has in fact forced him to give up his already announced guest appearance at the Sanremo Festival 2026.

“My comedy has become extreme right-wing, so it can no longer be heard” said the Milanese comedian. “A picture with a Celtic cross around my neck? Even those who said I had a Celtic cross in my dressing room should prove it with documents”.

Asked whether he recognized himself in the imitation done by Fiorello on the show “Pennicanza”, the comedian replied sarcastically: “He crowned his career by doing my imitation. Very funny. Come on Fiore, don”t give up, wake up every morning at four o” enjoy life a little more”.
