ReviewCQC is a weekly news roundup that takes a humorous and Irony approach to reporting current affairs, show business and sports. A program that laughs at reality and takes information to limits beyond what is expected. Each week, direct and live from the studio, a trio of hosts presents the most original stories to show reality in a very distinct way to the everyday newscasts we are used to. Its reporters - those in charge of going out on the street - are willing to do anything to get a surprising story. They are not afraid of anybody, not politicians, presidents or film stars. They always ask the least convenient and most uncomfortable questions, provoking unexpected and funny reactions from celebrities. Know by its fans as CQC, the program gained fame for its unstructured and original way of interviewing, asking what other media would never ask. From this conception comes the name Caiga Quien Caiga, a phrase than in Spanish reflects the spirit of the program: to do something without caring about the rank of those who suffer the consequences. From its start, CQC has been a success and a primary reference in Argentine television, and later in Spain, Italy, France, Israel and Chile.The hosts and reporters all dress in black suits and wear black glasses, style copied from the Quentin Tarantino’s movie Reservoir Dogs. The reporters usually give away the CQC sunglasses to the person being interviewed, which may be considered an honor. CQC around the worldArgentina

In the year 2001, there was a special edition show (made in the same theatre) to announce the new season of the program for the next year, this time in Canal 13. In 2005, Canal 13 hired Marcelo Tinelli, who is frequently argumented in the program and has been a long time rival of Mario Pergolini. This made CQC (and all of the programs produced by Cuatro Cabezas) shift channel again, and sign a contract with Telefé.

Regardless of maintaining a high rating and the numerous awards given to the program and its presenter, Telecinco decided to cancel the show at the end of 2002, due to criticism made by the show about the government’s party, Jose Maria Aznar’s wife and Telecinco’s owner Silvio Berlusconi.
