First of all I’d like to say I Like watching the show “El Gordo y La Flaca” on Univision. It shows funny stuff and some type of entertainment news. In the article Fired Univision host apologizes to first lady talks about a fired host. I can’t say I watched this episode where the host of Univision Rodner Figueroa made a comment about the first lady Michelle Obama. He apparently made a reference to her being part of the planet of the apes cast.  After his comment he got fired, called racist I don’t know how exactly race came into play on this. But honestly I've seen this show and sometimes they make fun of actors movie starts as a tease game. Like all news and magazines always making up drama about celebrities. But the whole world would end just because he said something about the first lady. Which I think is ridiculous! Sure was unprofessional but that’s how show business is. I've heard things said about the president himself. But didn't cost people there jobs. I think they were being a bit dramatic. Why end a man’s long career over something that has no effect, I’m sure people in the lime light are used to this sort of commentary. Surely Michelle Obama as well as her husband, she’s a nice lady from what I've read about her. Not going to deny its rude to say things about people, but how is this any different from people reporting news about other famous people. Sadly it’s something they have to deal with and just brush it off and like Taylor Swift does just smile and laugh and even laugh at yourself sometimes. I don’t agree on him getting fired, he did apologize and maybe perhaps they could have given him a chance. He has been with the company for various years and one simple mistake ruined all for him. I think the author Kendall’s intended audience would be the entire American country, they take seriously what people say about the president or his wife. That’s no joke and nothing to be messed with apparently. Or else it could be someone’s down fall, even if they didn't mean any harm by it not saying Figueroa meant no harm, just generally speaking. I give author her props for also getting the scoop on what the apology letter Figueroa said to the first lady. She did a good job writing this article, and maybe as a future reference they can plan what to say on the show and make sure its approved before they say it. This way no one loses their jobs over anything that came out the wrong way.
