Ricky Garay as Sergeant T. Noble
and Charles Sanchez as a recruit in "Funny is Funny"
“Funny is Funny” Kicks Off Production of Premiere Season
Los Angeles (October 6, 2005) – Sí TV, an English-language Latino network, kicked off production recently of the premiere season of “Funny is Funny,” the first all-Latino sketch comedy show. Thirteen episodes of the show will be produced before a live studio audience at Sí TV studios. “Funny is Funny,” Sí TV’s first fully scripted show, is slated to premiere on the network in Spring 2006.
“It’s important for us to continue to discover new talent,” said Jeff Valdez, Sí TV’s chairman and co-founder. “For ‘Funny is Funny’ we’ve brought together a group of fresh talented actors to act in and write edgy, satirical sketches. I’m a true believer in exposing new talent, and these kids certainly have what it takes to be the next big thing.”
Valdez will be executive producer. Other producers include Edward R. Leon, Sí TV’s senior vice president of production, Dean Crescenzi (“America’s Funniest Home Video”); and comedian/writer/producer Vic Dunlop. “Funny is Funny” hopes to feature fresh new faces of comedy as they combine cultural parodies with memorable reoccurring original characters to create a sketch comedy show that satirically addresses socio-political issues and cultural differences.
In addition to starring in the show, all the cast members are also writers on the show. Examples of skits include “Sister Joe,” a skit about a nun who lives in the Vatican and aspires to be the Pope; “The Big Fat Giant Gigante Show” which pokes fun at Univision’s sacred cow “Sabado Gigante,” and “Chola the Urban Explorer” which takes a look at life from the view point of a 15-year-old Hispanic girl living in the inner city.
Producers hope to infuse the show with fresh characters and thought-provoking wit to make "Funny is Funny” a new kind of sketch comedy for “Generation Sí.” The all-Latino cast is made up of seasoned comedians and performers including, brothers Joaquin Garay III and Ricky Garay, Angela Malhotra, Jonisha Rios, Charles Sanchez, and Jose Sonera as well as featured comic performers Gabbriella Gatto, Angel “Ace” Guillen, and Adam Jacobo.

Discovery Kids en Español and Discovery Travel & Living (Viajar y Vivir) Offer Families Expanded Choices in Educational, Cultural and Lifestyle Television Programming
Miami, FL–(Hispanic PR Wire)–September 26, 2005–Discovery U.S. Hispanic Networks, the leading provider of high-quality, real-world Spanish-language programming, is expanding its product offerings for the U.S. Hispanic audience beyond its existing network, Discovery en Español, by launching two new networks, creating the first Spanish-language channels to focus on the interests of women, children and families. Discovery Kids en Español and Discovery Travel & Living (Viajar y Vivir) will provide stimulating programming in the Discovery tradition of excellence, giving viewers more choices in the family-friendly and lifestyle entertainment categories.
Discovery hopes to build upon its expertise in providing culturally relevant programming in 23 Spanish-speaking countries worldwide, coupled with the popularity of Discovery en Español in the U.S. Network content is closely tailored to meet the viewing preferences of the Hispanic audience. Discovery Kids en Español and Discovery Travel & Living (Viajar y Vivir) will each feature a mix of original productions and some of the best Latin American shows making their U.S. debuts. The networks are not SAP feeds of their English-language counterparts; they are unique channels that directly speak to the U.S. Hispanic audience with “transcreated” programming, corresponding to their interests through language, music, graphics and popular Latin American personalities.
“By expanding our portfolio of Spanish-language networks and services, we are strengthening our commitment to the U.S. Hispanic audience to provide the best and broadest choices in real-world entertainment,” said Luis Silberwasser, senior vice president and general manager of Discovery U.S. Hispanic Networks. “Children’s and educational content and travel-and-lifestyle programming represent two substantial areas of interest that have been unavailable to these discerning viewers.”
Discovery’s effort to provide greater programming diversity for U.S. Hispanics is validated by a recent survey conducted by LatinoEyes, a division of C&R Research, among bilingual and Spanish-dominant Latinos who watch Spanish-language television. A large majority of respondents said they want to see higher-quality programming dealing with travel, history and culture, as well as more educational shows for children. They also want the programming to be culturally relevant and to portray Latinos more accurately. Specifically:
— 91% of respondents rated “Have more educational programs for children to learn about Hispanic culture and language” as a “High Importance” program attribute.
— 86% rated “Have more educational programs for adults to learn about Hispanic culture and language” as being of “High Importance.”
— 85% gave a “High Importance” rating to “Have more family-friendly Spanish television shows.”
— 85% listed “Portray women in a better light” as a “High Importance” item.
Discovery Kids en Español, a safe haven parents can trust for quality, 24 hours a day, is the first U.S. Spanish-language channel to deliver programming for all members of the Hispanic household, targeting preschoolers, tweens and families. The network provides parents with entertainment for their children that reinforces classroom learning while also preserving their cultural heritage. Programs will stimulate and inspire kids’ curiosity and thirst for knowledge, creating lifelong learners, as only Discovery can. The network features these programming genres: Real Discovery for Kids, Signature Discovery content tailored for children; Real Toons, animated series that bring kids real adventure, real content and real fun; preschool Education, programming designed to foster children’s optimism and curiosity to create lifelong learners; educational Interstitials, fun segments providing preschoolers with the building blocks of learning: ABC’s, numbers, shapes and colors; Animals and Nature – Heartwarming programs focused on the emotional connection between humans and animals.
Discovery Travel & Living (Viajar y Vivir) is an in-home getaway for adults who want to experience the best the world has to offer. Providing an alternative to existing Spanish-language programs in areas of interest to Hispanic women and their families, Discovery Travel & Living (Viajar y Vivir) identifies itself as the first U.S. Spanish-language network to feature travel, lifestyle, well-being, food, design and décor subject matter. The programming hopes to encourage viewers to enhance and enrich their everyday lives by pursuing their own unique interests and experiences. Upcoming Discovery Travel & Living programs include: Around the Globe which shows viewers the most remote places on the planet where they can experience some of the rich cultures, diversity and natural wonders the world has to offer; Bricomania, which offers simple and practical tips for bricolage (the art of putting something together using whatever materials happen to be available), providing easy steps to fix, recycle, build and create furniture and accessories; Casas, which showcases exceptional homes, haciendas and estates in Latin America. Some of them have important architectural and historical value; others are merely magnificent examples of cultural expressions.
The 24-hour-a-day networks, including the existing Discovery en Español, are operated out of Discovery Networks’ Miami-based region. The region has a 10-year track record of earning consistently high marks from viewers in Latin America for its children’s and lifestyle programming.
Discovery Networks, U.S., a unit of Discovery Communications, Inc., operates and manages Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, Travel Channel, Discovery Health Channel, Discovery HD Theater, Discovery Kids Channel, Discovery Times Channel, The Science Channel, Discovery Home Channel, Military Channel, Discovery en Español, FitTV, Discovery Kids en Español and Discovery Travel & Living (Viajar y Vivir).

Second Season: “Urban Jungle 2: South Central”
Critically-Acclaimed Reality Show Transplants 13 Privileged Suburbanites into “The Hood” to Experience Life as Immigrants
Los Angeles, CA (Sept. 19, 2005) – Sí TV, the first English-language Latino cable network, announced the return of its hit reality series “Urban Jungle,” the show that takes 13 sheltered kids from suburbia and plops them in South Central Los Angeles, all for a chance to win a $50,000 grand prize. The second season, “Urban Jungle 2: South Central,” premieres on Sunday, October 9, 2005 at 10 PM (ET/PT) on Sí TV and will air every Sunday at 10 PM for 13 weeks.
“Our first season of ‘Urban Jungle’ was wildly successful. Sí TV is proud to bring back a second season,” says Sí TV co-founder and chairman Jeff Valdez, who grew up in the housing projects of Pueblo, Colorado. “With so much anti-immigrant sentiment these days, we want to give our contestants and our viewers a chance to find out what it’s really like to live as working class poor and in the process uncover the humanity of the working-class immigrant.”
Jeff Valdez, Sí TV co-founder and chairman
Returning producer Roni Menendez and camera crews converge on the tiny two-bedroom, one-bath home in South Central Los Angeles to follow the group of 13 privileged twenty-somethings as they adapt to life as immigrants. This season Urban Jungle raises the stakes by adding a new element, paying the rent.
Last year, contestants were given jobs to test their resolve. This year, it’s all about the cold, hard cash. In addition to seeking out their own jobs, each week, contestants will be issued a “Challenge.” Challenges including picking strawberries, selling paletas (popsicles) and selling oranges on freeway off ramps. The losing team will have to pay the rent for the house. Members from the losing team who can’t contribute must plead their case for staying in the house to Pete Esquivel (Little Heroes), Monique Marvez (Rocking New Year’s Eve) and Thea Vidale (Thea), the three street-wise, yet benevolent “Padrinos” (Godparents).
Based on each contestant’s sincerity, the Padrinos will decide who to “evict.” The added stress of paying the rent, and the third-world living conditions will create intense pressure and lead to dramatic clashes. The last contestant in the house, producers say, will win $50,000 in cash and prizes, and perhaps learn a thing or two about life on the other side of the tracks.
New participants include:
· Georgie, 29, Winnetka, California, the daughter of a wealthy South African family who enrages her housemates with her brutally honest comments.
· Jei, 23, Los Angeles, California, a Buddhist ex-Marine who doesn’t mince words when it comes to politics.
· Michael, 28, San Antonio, Texas, a self-proclaimed metrosexual and ultra clean freak, who creates havoc in the house with his primadonna antics.
· Jason, 23, San Pedro, California, a highly opinionated surfer and musician who has no patience for “stupid, fake” people.
· Leann, 23, Springdale, Arizona, a typical wide-eyed small-town girl from Arkansas who has never been exposed to city life.
· Bo, 24, San Antonio, Texas, a titillating Texas princess with impeccable good looks who works as a local TV personality.
· Aubrey, 22, Woodside, New York, a social butterfly who has lived a life of privilege and spends summers at her family’s Italian villa.
· Mark, 21, San Rafael, California, a quintessential jock with a nose for politics who admit to having a low tolerance for stupidity and can be a bit abrasive.
· Kristi, 24, Burbank, California, a tough-talking straight-shooting party girl who is used to running with the popular crowd.
· Tristan, Los Angeles, California, 26, an eccentric playboy clothing designer who lives on Los Angeles’ west side.
· Erik, 23, New Rochelle, New York, a comedian of Puerto Rican heritage who lives in ritzy Westchester County, NY and is supported by his daddy who works in pediatrics.
· Afradet, Austin, 22, Texas, a sassy recent graduate of Palestinian background who is not afraid of a little disagreement.
· Vanessa, 23, San Diego, California, a controversial contestant from Urban Jungle season one returning for a second chance at the prize.
