In a complex period for Massimo giletti, we remind you that La7 has blocked its program "It is not the arena“, the satirical news Strip the News handed him his fifth Golden Tapir.
Because of the sudden stop of “It's not the arena” and the suspension without clarification from La7, Massimo Giletti received his fifth Golden Tapir. As usual, Valerio Staffelli presented him with the award during the March 14 episode of Striscia la Notizia.
Exit from network television came in a way unexpected, leaving the conductor and his colleagues without any explanation, at least for the moment. During the interview with the correspondent of Striscia la Notizia, the hypothesis was advanced that Fabio Fazio, presenter of “Che Tempo che fa”, may have played a role in Giletti's departure.

Giletti's sarcastic response and the dilemma of his departure
Giletti responded ironically to the hypothesis, arguing that not even the Dumas father and son could have conceive a similar plot and adding with a smile: “Maybe I go to Mediaset".
Il announcer can't find a reason for his sudden departure from network television:
“You should ask Cairo the reason why they sent me away, maybe it was because I'm a Juventus fan,” said Giletti. When asked by Staffelli whether the removal was linked to the controversial broadcasting of the special on Matteo Messina Denaro, Giletti replied: "Italy is not yet ready to face some truth, it is more convenient to keep them hidden”.
