Alessandro Cattelan leaves X Factor: the problem is what he will do when he grows up
The moment of the “turn the page after 10 years“- as the interested party said last night, for once vaguely excited and puzzled – or the end of a nightmare? I’m not in the head of Alessandro cattelan (“Ser Alessandro Cattelan” could be a semicita cinephile who is in his ironic chords), but I think thegoodbye that he gave last night to “X FactorIt was both. It’s a shame that it coincided with the descending parable of Sky’s talent, which for some seasons has been visibly dry, suspended between a well-worn formula and the always difficult choice of an effective jury. Among the understandable ambitions of greatness of the Murdochian network and hear more and more at a glance. Not helped by the pandemic, which has necessarily impoverished the plate. And while waiting for production, by dint of recycling faces of the past (from Mika to Manuel Agnelli), with a desperate gesture perhaps even Morgan will circulate again next year, he has to deal with the future of this blessed former child of Tortona.
At forty, between the desire for a late show like David Letterman and the classic canonical conduction of mainstream television, Alessandro Cattelan is the most talented of the new generation. Which is not so new anymore. Francesco Facchinetti has decided to take other more managerial paths. And people like Federico Russo or Daniele Battaglia ended up a little behind the lines. Alessandro Cattelan has always remained in the piece, solid and rhythmic. Sometimes even with sarcastic innuendo, a figure he loves very much. And sarcasm is a dangerous good: you can afford it on pay TV; you can play with a niche, small or large, but not in prime time on Rai1.
In the world it has always been said that the counterpart requested by ours to perform “X-Factor” as a good schoolboy was carte blanche to later pack the tricks of “And then there is Cattelan” (EPCC), the most American product of ‘italica TV. A little programming luxury that falls between Letterman, similar US shows, and “Saturday Night Live.” Will Alessandro be able to keep his most beloved creature alive, or will he die with his departure from the once miraculous talent?
Alessandro Cattelan is now a little man, our TV is what it is (but in addition to La7 there are now also companies like Tv8 and Discovery with the NOVE channel, which are expanding the market) and I am afraid that he is about to have to decide what to do. when I grow up. Whether to go for a run, chew a bit of bitterness and fly to the great generalist shores like the Sanremo Festival – whenever it really interests you – with its swampy and almost unchanging character, or to stay grazing in the meadows of irony? More rewarding but less profitable, even financially. And certainly less popular. Whether it’s to remain the good, good-looking, perfect, great driver for (relatively) few people, or to dip your hands in the things television is often made of. What must be understood is not what dreams are made of. It’s just a matter of deciding, as you can afford it. And it is only your choice.
