Héctor Sandarti was part of the show when it was still called Un Nuevo Día and he hosted it with stars such as Adamari López and Rashel Díaz.
His departure in 2020 took many by surprise.
Now, he returned as guest host to the set of Hoy Día, where he shared space with Chiky Bombom, Penélope Menchaca, Carlos Calderón and Clovis Nienow.
“Back home. I’ll be waiting for you all this week on @hoydia on @telemundo,” Sandarti posted on Instagram along with an image from the Telemundo Center in Miami.

For Hispanic viewers living in the United States, the news of her reappearance on Telemundo’s mornings has a special value.

Sandarti’s incorporation comes at a key moment for the production, which seeks to reconnect with the audience.
The question now is: will he stay permanently?
If his answer is yes, he could mark a new chapter in his career and in Telemundo’s programming.
