Telemundo has partnered with NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution to launch a new co-branded weekly segment called “Access Hollywood Al Rojo Vivo,” which will air Fridays at 5 p.m. ET on the Spanish-language network’s “Al Rojo Vivo con María Celeste.”
The segment will be hosted by entertainment reporter Jessica Carrillo and is produced in Los Angeles. A native from Jalisco, Mexico, Carrillo joined Telemundo a decade ago as a news anchor in Las Vegas. She then became an entertainment reporter for several Telemundo local newscasts and for the network’s entertainment show “Cotorrreando.” Most recently, she was an entertainment reporter at Telemundo’s Los Angeles station KVEA.
The show itself is hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Maria Celeste Arraras.
