SuperXclusivo was a Puerto Rican gossip/news show broadcast on WAPA-TV. The show, which premiered on January 24, 2000, featured a puppet character called La Comay —English: The Godmother (created, voiced and puppeteered by Kobbo Santarrosa)— alongside host and sidekick Héctor Travieso. La Comay presented gossip about celebrities and political figures, as well as news and social commentary on local issues. Through its entire run, SuperXclusivo maintained the top position in local ratings. On January 9, 2013, the show officially ended due to the resignation of Kobbo Santarrosa from WAPA-TV.
Prior to SuperXclusivo, Kobbo Santarrosa had created two characters similar to La Comay: La Cháchara (English: The Tittle-Tattler) and La Condesa del Bochinche (English: The Gossip Countess) which were featured on various gossip and entertainment news shows. He created La Comay in 1995, featuring it first in segments within El Show de las 12 on Telemundo, and then on its own show called Exclusivo. At the time, Santarrosa was accompanied by host Eddie Miró. Santarrosa left Telemundo in 1999.
After leaving Telemundo, Santarrosa joined WAPA-TV with the show SuperXclusivo. He was joined by Cuban actor/comedian Héctor Travieso, host, and journalist Leo Ferández III, field reporter. For the 13 years that the show aired, it was the most watched television show in Puerto Rico, according to local ratings by Mediafax.
In the show's later years, many politicians and high-profile figures attended the show for interviews. Governors Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, Luis Fortuño and Alejandro García Padilla made several appearances.
La Comay is a stuffed life-sized puppet, meant to represent a society matron who recounts rumors, gossip, and comments on social and political news, with Cuban soap opera actor Héctor Travieso by her side.
