At the same time, when asked if it was difficult for him to get the channel to commit to the solidarity proposal, Julian Weich was blunt when revealing that “Channel 13 didn’t want to extend the program at first”and assured that “They didn’t give a damn about Unicef.” It was there that he confided that it was he who “broke the quinotos and said ‘we have to do it again'”.
“The first 10 years that I was hosting the program, we did it because I, Matías Alonso (the channel’s special events producer at the time) and a couple of other crazy people worked hard to get it done.”he remarked forcefully.

Making gestures with his face, he made it clear that he was not interested. And he emphatically stressed that “Not everyone likes to help… not companies, not people. Not everyone is thinking about helping”.
Finally, the actor and host made it clear what moves him to embrace charitable causes throughout his career: “My goal when I work on something charitable is not just to raise funds. It is to transform people into being charitable”.
