Univision’s NASCAR telenovela “Arranque de Pasion, La Historia de Ela”

Univision’s NASCAR-themed telenovela Arranque de Pasion, La Historia de Ela makes its prime-time TV debut with a special edited version on Sunday, May 5, at 10:15pm ET/PT. This original webnovela is about a talented NASCAR driver who has been playing second fiddle to her longtime boyfriend. My college Spanish is a little rusty, and it’s more fun to let Word translate stuff anyway. (Czech is supposed to be Checo.) So here’s the translated series description (may contain spoilers) from Univision.com: “This story takes place between wheels of chariots of speed, where the competition and love intertwine. In the center of [...]

Where to watch the Aug. 15 Mexico vs. USA friendly

After failing to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics and subsequently witnessing the U.S. women’s soccer team win gold, the men’s side will get its own shot of glory with a friendly against archrival Mexico on Wednesday, August 15. Jurgen Klinsmann made his U.S. coaching debut in a friendly against Mexico last year. The game, played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, ended in a 1-1 draw. However, Klinsmann has yet to take on Mexico on home turf, where the USMNT has historically fallen flat. International Friendly: Mexico vs United States – 7:30pm, Wednesday, August 15 (ESPN2, ESPN3 and Univision) [...]

“Tomasito” Hanks makes hilarious Univision appearance

| By

By Jeff Pfeiffer Follow @ChannelGuideJP Although he probably won’t be named the new host of Sabado Gigante anytime soon, Tom Hanks did make a memorable appearance yesterday on the Univision morning show Despierta America, in promotion of his new film Larry Crowne.  Despite apparently understanding little to nothing of what the Spanish-speaking hosts (who referred to him as “Tomasito”) were saying, he gamely had fun with them in a cooking segment (where he tried to tough out eating a hot pepper), and particularly in a segment where he danced with the smokin’-hot weather forecaster (and quite well, actually). It probably [...]
