El Gran Wyoming, Joan Ramón Mainat Award 2026 from FesTVal for his television career

El Gran Wyoming will be honored with the Joan Ramón Mainat 2026 Award from the FesTVal of Vitoria-Gasteiz, a recognition that highlights his extensive television career and his contribution to humor and political satire in Spain.

The award comes at a particularly significant moment for Wyoming, who has been at the helm of El Intermedio for two decades. The laSexta program, which began its journey in 2006, has consolidated itself over these years as one of the most recognizable spaces on Spanish television and as one of the main hallmarks of the channel.

The award precisely recognizes that trajectory at the head of a format that has turned political and social current events into raw material for humor, combining analysis, irony, and criticism. Wyoming has built from El Intermedio a unique style that has made him one of the longest-standing faces on Spanish television.

Two decades as the face of El Intermedio

Since its premiere, Wyoming has remained linked to the program, accompanying its evolution and making it one of laSexta's most stable formats. During the 2025-2026 season, El Intermedio also celebrated its 20 years on air, an unusual trajectory in the current television landscape.

Throughout these two decades, the presenter has made political satire, irony, and commentary on current events the main tools of a program that has maintained a very defined identity.

The Joan Ramón Mainat Award thus represents a recognition of a television career that goes far beyond El Intermedio, although it is precisely this space that has marked his longest and most recognizable period on television.

The recognition will be presented in September

The Joan Ramón Mainat 2026 Award will be presented during the closing gala of the FesTVal of Vitoria-Gasteiz, scheduled for Saturday, September 12.

With this recognition, the festival focuses on one of the figures most linked to the recent history of Spanish television and on a presenter who has made political humor one of his main hallmarks.
