Lo Sé Todo
''Lo sé todo'' (''I know it all'') is a Puerto Rican infotainment and tabloid focused talk-show that airs weekdays on WAPA. ''Lo sé todo'' was created after the cancellation of SuperXclusivo which stemmed from a boycott following comments made by Kobbo Santarrosa through his character La Comay attacking the LGBTQ+ community. History On December 4, 2012, Kobbo Santarrosa, through his puppeteering of La Comay, commented on the allegations that the recent murder of a local public relations agent was related to a promiscuous homosexual lifestyle. The comments sparked a backlash, particularly on social media, and started a movement to boycott the show. The movement crowd-sourced requests for sponsors to drop support for the show, and within a week, sixteen sponsors had removed their commercials from the show's timeslot. On January 8, 2013, after being asked to pre-record the show rather than present it live, Santarrosa abruptly left WAPA-TV. The next day, January 9, 2013, Sant ...
