''El Hormiguero'' (Spanish for "The Anthill") is a Spanish television program with a live audience focusing on comedy, science, and guest interviews running since September 2006. It is hosted and produced by screenwriter Pablo Motos. The show aired on Spain's Cuatro channel from launch until June 2011 and is now broadcast on Antena 3. Recurring guests on the show include Luis Piedrahita, Raquel Martos, Marron & El Hombre de Negro ("The Man in Black") (the scientists), and puppet ants Trancas and Barrancas (from the Spanish expression "a trancas y barrancas," which means "in fits and starts"). It has proved a ratings success, and has expanded from a weekly 120-minute show to a daily 40-minute show in its third season, which began on September 17, 2007.〔(El Hormiguero pasará a ser diario ) 〕〔(Trancas: "Hace falta que fichemos a una hormiga con un buen culo" ) 〕〔(El hormiguero bate récord de share y espectadores por segunda semana ) 〕 The show won the Entertainment prize at the 2009 Rose d'Or ceremony.〔(Rose d'Or 2009 Winners )〕 ==Format== The show is based on an earlier radio program, broadcast on M80 Radio, called ''No Somos Nadie'' ("We Are Nobody"). This show continued until June 2007, when Pablo Motos announced that he would be leaving the program to allow the daily production of ''El Hormiguero''.〔(Se acabó No Somos Nadie ) 〕 ''No Somos Nadie'' returned in September 2007 with new on-air talent, since most of the old show's talent were part of the television show.〔(Celia Montalbán sustituirá a Pablo Motos en la cadena M80 ) 〕 Segments on the show included scientific experiments, like a car running on vegetable oil, hangover cures, a superconductivity demonstration, and various chemical reaction demonstrations. Each episode features a satirical rap, commentary on current events, and humorous phrases as spoken by children. Other segments include pitches for viewers to plant trees and "El Kiosco", a section of magazine reviews. The show also airs parodies of other media, which have included ''Back to the Future'', ''Pop Idol'', ''House M.D.'', and ''Mission: Impossible''. Each episode feature a celebrity guest, including Boris Izaguirre, David Bisbal,〔(David Bisbal de promoción con "Premonición" ) 〕 Alejandro Sanz,〔(Alejandro Sanz y las hormigas (video) ) 〕 Paulina Rubio, and numerous international celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Sergio Dalma, Ashley Tisdale or Hugh Jackman. Special guests on the show are sometimes involved throughout the episode, including taking part in the various stunts and science experiments. A number of changes to the show, including new segments such as a webcam call-in portion from viewers, were planned for the upcoming format change in the third season, however this segment and some others like training of wild monkeys were removed, the first one due to the amount of time needed and the second one due to low popularity among the audience. A very popular segment that was later introduced is "Extreme Survival", that features "El maestro empanao" (which roughly translates as "Master Dumbass") Marron and the host Pablo Motos testing out tips and hints on how to survive extreme situations or conditions (such as how to survive being overrun by a car, trapped in a falling lift, attacked by a pack of wolves, etc.). Another popular segment includes ''Trancas'' and ''Barrancas'' making fun of the day's news.〔(Las secciones de la nueva temporada (Pablo Motos's weblog) ) 〕 A satirical news show in which puppets read the news, ''Las noticias del guiñol'', formerly aired on Cuatro. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「El Hormiguero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
