‘Leguizamo Does America’ takes viewers on a road trip, Latino style

First published by NBC News

“I wanted to do a show where people watch this and say, ‘I wanna be Latino!’ or ‘Damn, too bad I’m not Latino!’”

Leguizamo, the acclaimed actor, comedian, producer and activist, takes viewers on a journey as the host of “Leguizamo Does America,” a six-part docuseries premiering Sunday on MSNBC and streaming on Peacock. Produced by NBC News Studios, each episode focuses on a different city — Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C. — and its unique Latino heritage, as Leguizamo explores its culture, people and monuments and its food and restaurants. One episode focuses on Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory.

 

Leguizamo takes viewers from sound stages in Hollywood to a salsa festival in New York’s Spanish Harlem and a sacred Indigenous ceremony in Puerto Rico — all while exploring Latino contributions to American life.

“Latinx history is American history,” Leguizamo says in one of the episodes, noting that Latinos have played critical roles, from the Revolutionary War to the birth of hip-hop.

“Leguizamo Does America” can be viewed as part of the emerging trend of celebrity travel shows, such as “Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico” (CNN) and “Down to Earth with Zac Efron” (Netflix). Leguizamo’s show covers a lot of ground, from the origins of New York’s famous bodegas, or corner shops, to the resident Latina conductor at the Los Angeles Opera. It features appearances by well-known actors like George Lopez, Gina Torres, Diane Guerrero and Michael Peña — who takes Leguizamo to his family’s famed domino-playing gatherings in Chicago — as well as notable figures like Broadway director/choreographer Sergio Trujillo, Voto Latino’s María Teresa Kumar and fashion designer Raul Lopez.

But “Leguizamo Does America” doesn’t shy from addressing issues roiling the Latino community. In New York, Leguizamo hosts a dinner party, and, alongside comedian and actor Aida Rodriguez and others, he brings up the controversy over the word “Latinx,” a gender-neutral alternative to Latino or Latina — and why it’s so polarizing to some.

In Los Angeles, Leguizamo talks about the challenge of creating Latino-themed stories with television producer Gloria Calderón Kellett. Because of Latinos’ diversity and complexity, “we’re a hard audience, because there’s been such a starvation for representation that when one thing exists — it better represent all of us,” she says.

In Miami, actor and playwright Carmen Pelaez explains how immigration continues to transform the politics of her hometown. “Miami is the shore where the people of every failed government of Latin America land. … You know what government is currently failing in Latin America from the accent you hear on the street in Miami.”

From his early days as a solo theater artist in New York City to his well-known roles in films and television, Leguizamo, 62, has enjoyed a long and multifaceted career. He received a special Tony Award in 2018 for his Broadway show “Latin History for Morons” and earned Critic’s Choice and Emmy nominations for his role as Raymond Santana Sr. in the Netflix series “When They See Us.” In recent years, he has become an advocate for the Latino community, lending his voice to the struggle for more Latino representation in the entertainment industry.

Part of his reason for doing the show was that “it takes a long time for Latin kids to understand that they have something to be proud of, that everything they are is something beautiful and powerful.”

Leguizamo said most people — including many Latinos — don’t know that the first non-Indigenous resident of Manhattan was Dominican (Juan Rodriguez) or that one of television’s early moguls was Latino (Desi Arnaz). “This country was not made without us,” he said. “It was made because of us.”

‘A show for all kinds of audiences’

Ben DeJesus, the show’s director, said the series “was one of the life-changing experiences of my career,” adding: “This is something we feel is worth celebrating: our Latino culture and the richness of our food, our music and our activism. It’s a lot of Latin themes and people, but this is really a show for all kinds of audiences.”

In addition to the content, DeJesus, 46, is especially proud that the “Leguizamo” production team included many Latinos. “John actually mentioned to us that, in his 30-some years in the business, he had never seen so many Latin names on a call sheet,” DeJesus said. “It was intentional — and important to us to bring in as many Latino crew members and staff as possible and to provide opportunities for them to contribute their talents.”

For executive producer Carolina Saavedra, one of the show’s highlights was a visit to Washington, D.C.’s Gala Hispanic Theater. “Seeing the kids in the theater program there really touched me,” she said. “As an immigrant child, it brought back the experience of coming to this country, feeling alienated and initially being looked down upon because we don’t speak the language. Seeing that the kids at the Gala Theater have a safe space to express their pain, to express themselves, reminded me of the beauty and the value of this organization.”

Saavedra described working on “Leguizamo Does America” as “the most meaningful job of my career.”

“I’ve always wanted to tell stories about real people, stories that would move people and start conversation, stories about class, race and gender,” she said. “All of these things are my passion, and with this show, I was able to do that.”

“I wanted to make sure that this was an entertaining show, an ingratiating show for any community that watches it, but also one that is specific to our Latino experience, which includes joy as well as hardship,” she added.

Leguizamo hopes the series inspires a new generation of Latino scholars and artists.

“Somewhere out there, there are more kids, kids like us,” he says on the show, “waiting to see their stories on stage, on screen, see their faces, see their lives. And they can — if we give them a chance.”

The show premieres Sunday at 10p.m. E.T. on MSNBC.

'Leguizamo Does America' lleva a los espectadores de viaje por carretera, al estilo latino

John Leguizamo ofrece una inspiración simple para su última serie.

Original de NBC Noticias

“Quería hacer un programa en el que la gente viera esto y dijera: ‘¡Quiero ser latino!’ o ‘¡Maldita sea, qué mal que no soy latino!'”.

Leguizamo, el aclamado actor, comediante, productor y activista, lleva a los espectadores a un viaje como presentador de “Leguizamo Does America”, una docuserie de seis partes que se estrenará el domingo en MSNBC y se transmitirá en Peacock. Producido por NBC News Studios, cada episodio se centra en una ciudad diferente (Miami, Los Ángeles, Chicago, Nueva York, Washington, D.C.) y su herencia latina única, mientras Leguizamo explora su cultura, gente y monumentos, y su comida y restaurantes. Un episodio se centra en Puerto Rico, un territorio estadounidense.

Leguizamo lleva a los espectadores desde los escenarios de sonido de Hollywood a un festival de salsa en el Harlem hispano de Nueva York y a una ceremonia indígena sagrada en Puerto Rico, todo mientras explora las contribuciones latinas a la vida estadounidense.

“La historia de Latinx es la historia de Estados Unidos”, dice Leguizamo en uno de los episodios, y señala que los latinos han desempeñado papeles fundamentales, desde la Guerra Revolucionaria hasta el nacimiento del hip-hop.

“Leguizamo Does America” puede verse como parte de la tendencia emergente de programas de viajes de celebridades, como “Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico” (CNN) y “Down to Earth with Zac Efron” (Netflix). El espectáculo de Leguizamo cubre mucho terreno, desde los orígenes de las famosas bodegas o tiendas de barrio de Nueva York, hasta la directora latina residente en la Ópera de Los Ángeles. Cuenta con apariciones de actores reconocidos como George López, Gina Torres, Diane Guerrero y Michael Peña, quien lleva a Leguizamo a las famosas reuniones de juego de dominó de su familia en Chicago, así como figuras notables como el director/coreógrafo de Broadway Sergio Trujillo, el director de Voto Latino. María Teresa Kumar y el diseñador de moda Raúl López.

Pero “Leguizamo Does America” no duda en abordar los problemas que preocupan a la comunidad latina. En Nueva York, Leguizamo organiza una cena y, junto con la comediante y actriz Aida Rodríguez y otros, saca a relucir la controversia sobre la palabra “Latinx”, una alternativa de género neutral a latino o latina, y por qué es tan polarizante para algunos. .

En Los Ángeles, Leguizamo habla sobre el desafío de crear historias de temática latina con la productora de televisión Gloria Calderón Kellett. Debido a la diversidad y complejidad de los latinos, “somos una audiencia difícil, porque ha habido tanta hambre de representación que cuando existe una cosa, es mejor que nos represente a todos”, dice ella.

En Miami, la actriz y dramaturga Carmen Peláez explica cómo la inmigración continúa transformando la política de su ciudad natal. “Miami es la orilla donde desembarca la gente de cada gobierno fallido de América Latina. … Sabes qué gobierno está fallando actualmente en América Latina por el acento que escuchas en las calles de Miami”.

Desde sus inicios como artista de teatro en solitario en la ciudad de Nueva York hasta sus conocidos papeles en cine y televisión, Leguizamo, de 62 años, ha disfrutado de una carrera larga y multifacética. Recibió un premio Tony especial en 2018 por su espectáculo de Broadway “Latin History for Morons” y obtuvo nominaciones a Critic’s Choice y Emmy por su papel de Raymond Santana Sr. en la serie de Netflix “When They See Us”. En los últimos años, se ha convertido en un defensor de la comunidad latina, prestando su voz a la lucha por una mayor representación latina en la industria del entretenimiento.

Parte de su razón para hacer el programa fue que “a los niños latinos les toma mucho tiempo entender que tienen algo de lo que estar orgullosos, que todo lo que son es algo hermoso y poderoso”.

Leguizamo dijo que la mayoría de las personas, incluidos muchos latinos, no saben que el primer residente no indígena de Manhattan fue dominicano (Juan Rodríguez) o que uno de los primeros magnates de la televisión fue latino (Desi Arnaz). “Este país no se hizo sin nosotros”, dijo. “Se hizo gracias a nosotros”.

‘Un espectáculo para todo tipo de público’

Ben DeJesus, el director del programa, dijo que la serie “fue una de las experiencias que cambiaron mi vida en mi carrera”, y agregó: “Esto es algo que sentimos que vale la pena celebrar: nuestra cultura latina y la riqueza de nuestra comida, nuestra música y nuestro activismo. Hay muchos temas y personas latinas, pero este es realmente un espectáculo para todo tipo de audiencias”.


Además del contenido, DeJesus, de 46 años, está especialmente orgulloso de que el equipo de producción de “Leguizamo” incluyera muchos latinos. “John en realidad nos mencionó que, en sus 30 años en el negocio, nunca había visto tantos nombres en latín en una hoja de llamadas”, dijo DeJesus. “Fue intencional, e importante para nosotros, traer la mayor cantidad posible de miembros del equipo y personal latinos y brindarles oportunidades para que contribuyan con sus talentos”.

Para la productora ejecutiva Carolina Saavedra, uno de los aspectos más destacados del espectáculo fue una visita al Teatro Gala Hispano de Washington, D.C. “Ver a los niños en el programa de teatro realmente me conmovió”, dijo. “Como niño inmigrante, me trajo de vuelta la experiencia de venir a este país, sentirme alienado e inicialmente despreciado porque no hablamos el idioma. Ver que los niños en el Teatro Gala tienen un espacio seguro para expresar su dolor, para expresarse, me recordó la belleza y el valor de esta organización”.

Saavedra describió trabajar en “Leguizamo Does America” como “el trabajo más significativo de mi carrera”.

“Siempre quise contar historias sobre personas reales, historias que conmovieran a las personas y comenzaran una conversación, historias sobre clase, raza y género”, dijo. “Todas estas cosas son mi pasión, y con este programa pude hacerlo”.

“Quería asegurarme de que este fuera un programa entretenido, un programa gratificante para cualquier comunidad que lo vea, pero también específico para nuestra experiencia latina, que incluye tanto alegrías como dificultades”, agregó.

Leguizamo espera que la serie inspire a una nueva generación de académicos y artistas latinos.

“En algún lugar, hay más niños, niños como nosotros”, dice en el programa, “esperando ver sus historias en el escenario, en la pantalla, ver sus rostros, ver sus vidas. Y pueden, si les damos una oportunidad”.

El espectáculo se estrena el domingo a las 10 p.m. ET en MSNBC.
