04.8.2014 | By Jack Rico |

In my weekly syndicated radio segment on the Luis Jimenez Show, “Lengua, Cámara y Acción,” on X96.3FM IN NY, I brought up who could replace David Letterman when he retires in 2015 and Luis thought Univision’s Don Francisco had a shot. Following was a hilarious skit of how the Late Show would sound with Don Francisco on CBS. But all joking aside, if there was one person that could pull it off in the television Spanish language market, it’d be Don Francisco. Luis and I also chat about Captain America‘s box office April record and if superhero movies have an expiration date, plus Demi Lovato‘s nude pics on the internet with Wilmer Valderrama!
