Seven months of programming that can be recounted in a series of mind-boggling numbers. From the broadcast on November 6, the official start of the second edition, during the 112 episodes broadcast live from the new headquarters of the Foro Italico (without forgetting the 10 episodes of “Waiting for Rai2!”, broadcast on RaiPlay from the 16th to the 27th last October and the Sanremo spin-off “VivaRai2!… VivaSanremo!”), no less than 125 guests came, more than 300 jokes were written, more than 2000 stage costumes were prepared, 600 video contributions , around 200 daily press notes, 100 printed silhouettes and above all… 3400 emblematic sheep.
