From Xel-Ha, Adal Ramones promises to return to television
Posted by: dvillacis in Chacah's Garden
Happy to be able to enjoy more time with his wife, Gaby, and his daughter, Paola, Adal Ramones confessed his desire to return to national television with a renovated version of his well-known talk show “Otro Rollo,” which he said could probably return to air as soon as May 2009, with a special edition first show that would reunite the whole original cast: Yordi Rosado, Mauricio Castillo, Eduardo España, Jorge Alejandro, Roxana Castellanos, Manola Diez, and Gabriela Platas.
Teeming with emotion and nostalgia from missing his family, Adal Ramones attended the ceremony and planted the 99th tree at the Chacah Garden in Xel-Ha, and during an thrilling act dedicated to his daughter Paola, quoted: “Receive, Earth, this drop of love to return me to my beginnings; to my first breath, to my lost soul that seeks solace. I give to you myself so that it may transcend. An ounce of humanity. I hope that one day, I may descend as light and play amongst your leaves, smiling happily with my eyes closed and thinking of you.”
We should plant more tree, where they are most needed, said Ramones in advocating the initiative that Xel-Ha has been endorsing all over the country as a way to raise awareness on the importance of caring for natural resources.
In an entertaining tour around the paths of Xel-Ha, Adal Ramones delighted all those present with witty and humorous comments. Adal Ramones is famous nationwide for his creation of the hit television show “Otro Rollo”, which aired during 12 years on Mexican open networks, and is currently on endless reruns throughout Latin America on cable. His show won the audiences over with diverse sections such as “The Monologue”, “The Sketch”, “Yordi Reporting”, among others, including special features such as “Big Brother”, “The Love Bus”, and “Stories of a Taxi.”
Adal Ramones has hence diversified his activities by venturing into dubbing feature films, such as “Cats and Dogs”, in which he played the character “Lou”, and most recently, into theatrical producer and director, with an adaptation of Woody Allen’s “Play it again, Sam.”
As a tribute to his distinguished career, he has been honoured with a statue at Wax Museum of Mexico City.
In 2005 and 2006 he participated in the renowned reality-shows “Dancing for a Dream”, and its sequel: “Singing for a Dream.” In 2007, he joined the nationwide project endorsing original Mexican TV series, and produced and acted in “Now what do I do?”
After ending its run in 2007, and after having made appearances on 600 shows, Adal Ramones now produces the Mexican version of the hit series, “The Simulators.”
An example of his popularity as reached in “Otro Rollo”, is reflected in the events occurred during his final show, in May 2007. A sketch featured Televisa’s CEO Emilio Azcarraga Jean, and a phone call from the Mexican President, Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, who congratulated Adal for the amusement he had brought the country’s households, and acknowledged his importance in “having changed the way television is made.”
