John Hopewell Chief International CorrespondentIn a milestone move, HBO Max will bow on June 18 in Spain and Latin America a weekly Max Original TV format version of “Nadie Sabe Nada” (“Nobody Knows Anything”), a hit comedy improv format starring Andreu Buenafuente and Berto Romero, two of Spain’s best known and admired figures on its late-night talk show scene.HBO Max has previously announced the adaptation of the reality dating competition and Max Original “FBoy Island” in Spain, Netherlands and Sweden.

But “Nadie Sabe Nada” will be its first Spanish Max Original entertainment show to premiere in Spain.Buenafuente broke out in Spain bowing in 2005 on broadcast network Antena 3 the David Letterman-ish “Buenafuente,” a late night talk show which gently-ribbed some of Spain’s still sacred cows after 28 years of democracy. “Nadie Sabe Nada” maintains Buenafuente’s hallmark bemusement and keen sense of irony, but simply has Buenafuente and Romero sitting at a table where they chat before a live audience about anything which comes to mind or respond to emails and Twitter messages.

Romero tends to be the more effervescent, Buenafuente erupts into comedic riffs when he gets a bee in his bonnet. “Nadie Sabe Nada” was first launched in 2013 as a radio program on Cadena SER, Spain’s top radio network and a traditional bastion of liberal values.

It has also yielded a podcast and a YouTube version. All these other platforms for “Nadie Sabe Nada” will be maintained, HBO Max announced Friday.“It’s like if you cook a 30-year career in a frying pan, reducing it with the heat and Berto Romero and I are the chefs.
