Nora Cárpena tells Mario Pergolini she once feared him
Actress Nora Cárpena told host Mario Pergolini she once feared him during a visit to his El Trece late-night show, Otro día perdido.
She traced that fear to the 1990s, when they worked at Canal 7 and Pergolini hosted La TV Ataca.
Cárpena said his show made guests feel exposed, with Pergolini seated above them and known for a tough interview style.
She recalled resisting an earlier order to appear on the programme because she expected him to treat her badly and worried they would argue.
Neither could remember whether that interview led to a clash, and Cárpena guessed it probably did not.
She said Pergolini had changed, and called him “an adorable old man” after saying she liked how he spoke about his family.
Cárpena also said she is 81; the exchange ended on a warm, joking note.

What people are saying
You always scared me, I won’t even tell you what it was like when you had long hair.
Please, don’t make me go on that programme because he’s going to treat me badly. And I have a very bad temper, so I’m going to fight.
Today I came with the same fear, but now you’re a different person.
I like the way you talk about your family. You’re an adorable old man.
