Hugo Chávez is looking to give Jerry Lewis a run for his money. For the 10th anniversary of his weekly show Alo Presidente, the Venezuelan president is planning a special four-day long episode:
It will be in chapters, like a soap opera," said Mr Chavez, a former paratrooper who often breaks out into song on air.
"There will be everything: songs, reviews," he said.
His programme normally runs on a Sunday, when typically he talks, sings, explains government policy and attacks his critics at home and abroad.
But the special edition will run between Thursday and Sunday.
