The year 2026 will kick off with a completely innovative television project for renowned host Alan Tacher, who has been confirmed as host of the new reality show ¡Apostarías por mí? a TelevisaUnivision original production that will arrive early next year.
The program promises to become one of the network’s most ambitious formats, as it will be a 24/7 live reality show, where twelve celebrity couples will live under permanent surveillance while facing tests that will put their love, trust, emotional intelligence and mental fortitude to the test.
In an interview with People en Español, Tacher expressed the enormous satisfaction he feels for having been chosen to lead a project of such magnitude: “It’s been many years working at Univision; so, imagine, it’s a great honor, it’s a great pleasure. It is [also] a great responsibility. The fact that they are trusting me for this project fills me with pride.
The host revealed that when he received the first call from the production team, he thought they wanted him as a participant in the reality show, especially when he heard that it would be about famous couples.
“I originally thought it was going to be to participate… I thought about it because it’s a long time,” he confessed with a chuckle.
He even mentioned that, at some point, he would like to be part of a reality show with his wife, Cristy Bernal: “I think we would do very well because of the communication we have… we are very close, very close friends and we are very much in love. It would have been a lot of fun.
Alan Tacher leaves the morning show?
However, Tacher acknowledges that his participation as host of ¡Apostarías por mí? could make it difficult for him to remain on Despierta América, the Univision morning show where he has worked for years and which he considers his “professional home:
“It’s going to be a little complicated to combine the two at the same time… This reality is many weeks.”
Although the possibility of being physically present at both engagements is almost impossible, the host explained that alternatives such as live links and special transmissions are being analyzed so that he can continue to be linked to the morning program.
“Wake Up America is my show. I love it, I adore it and I wouldn’t trade it for anything… This is temporary. Wake Up America will continue to be my home.”
Tacher will co-host the new reality show with actress and host Alejandra Espinoza, another beloved figure among Latino audiences.
For Alan, the most attractive element of the reality show is that it stars celebrity couples, which will undoubtedly capture the public’s attention from day one: “That attracts a lot of attention and is going to be a lot to talk about.
Unlike other physical competition programs, this format focuses on the emotional and psychological aspects: “Don’t think they are physical challenges… Here the mind, dexterity, agility, desperation, patience are put to the test. I think that’s the most important thing.
With non-stop broadcasting and a 24-hour-a-day cohabitation exposed to the public eye, the program promises to reveal real-life couple dynamics never before seen on television.
Between celebrities, mental challenges, emotional tensions and risky decisions, ¡Apostarías por mí? is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about premieres of 2026. For Alan Tacher, it will be an opportunity to consolidate his career in a completely new format, while for TelevisaUnivision it represents another step towards creating immersive reality shows designed to captivate audiences day and night.
