Daniel Bisogno Dies: ‘Ventaneando’ Co-Host & TV Azteca Star Was 51
By Armando Tinoco
Daniel Bisogno, best known as one of the co-hosts of entertainment newsmagazine Ventaneando, has died. He was 51.
“It is with deepest sadness that we regret to report news we never wanted to give: our beloved Daniel Bisogno has just passed away due to complications he suffered after the liver transplant he underwent last September,” read a statement on Ventaneando’s Instagram profile.
Bisogno had been hospitalized, and his brother Alejandro visited the TV Azteca show on February 12 to share an update on his health, saying he was “very delicate.”
Celebrating the show’s 29th anniversary, Bisogno called the show from the hospital, where he remained hopeful of returning to co-host with the rest of his colleagues.
“These 29 years have been wonderful in life,” he said. “The best thing is a life that has given me everything, both good and bad, and everything has been a great experience for the most part. Absolute happiness. I love you with all my heart.”
Bisogno joined Ventaneando in 1997, a year after the show started, and quickly made a name for himself due to his sharp tongue and quick wit.
The Mexican TV personality was not only co-hosting Ventaneando, he was also starring in the musical Lagunilla, Mi Barrio.
Bisogno is survived by his brother and 8-year-old daughter, Michaela.
What was Daniel Bisogno’s cause of death?
Bisogno was first hospitalized in mid-2023, and after multiple medical exams, the results showed he had esophageal varicose veins, a fissure in the rectum, and COVID-19. He returned to work, and at the beginning of 2024, he returned to the hospital due to a pulmonary infection. After a few weeks, he revealed on Ventaneando that he needed a liver transplant, which he got in September of that same year.
Around mid-September, he was hospitalized again due to another infection and was discharged about a week later. Bisogno was to return to his show in November, but Ventaneando boss Pati Chapoy said he had suffered a health crisis at TV Azteca’s parking garage as he returned to work.
In January 2025, Ventaneando co-host Pedro Solo revealed Bisogno would return for the show’s anniversary. However, Bisogno didn’t return physically and instead only called into the show to talk to his co-hosts.
On February 20, Ventaneando shared that Bisogno had died “due to complications he suffered after the liver transplant he underwent last September.”

Aurora Valle: “I’m invaded by memory and nostalgia, but above all great sadness… I’ll keep all the good and fun we’ve had together for many years. Muñe rest in peace, Daniel Bisogno.”

Daniel Bisogno, beloved Mexican TV host, dies at 51
Beloved actor and Ventaneando host Daniel Bisogno has passed away at 51 after weeks of hospitalization due to a severe health crisis. The entertainment world is mourning the loss of one of Mexico’s most beloved television personalities. The news was confirmed through the official social media accounts of Ventaneando, the TV Azteca program that had been his professional home since the 1990s.
His longtime colleague, friend, and mentor, Paty Chapoy, echoed the heartbreaking news, sharing a photo of them together. On X, she wrote, “It is with immense sadness that I inform you that Daniel Bisogno has passed away.” Her brief yet poignant message captured the deep loss felt by many.
A talented actor, comedian, and TV host, Daniel Bisogno was born on May 19, 1973, in Mexico. He rose to fame after joining Ventaneando, where his sharp wit, humor, and unapologetic criticism captivated audiences. In addition to his work in television, he pursued acting, having studied drama at Televisa’s Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) in his youth.
Affectionately nicknamed “El Muñe,” Bisogno remained a staple on Ventaneando until health concerns began affecting him in recent months. Amid public speculation, he candidly disclosed his battle with serious health issues that led to intensive care and, ultimately, a liver transplant.
His brother, Alejandro Bisogno, recently shared details about the complications: “The problem is that a bacterium settled in the bile ducts. It’s a bacteria that has been mutating—each time antibiotics are administered, it becomes stronger,” he explained.
Alejandro further revealed that Daniel had been in and out of the hospital frequently. During his most recent hospitalization, doctors had to remove bile duct prostheses, which had become a breeding ground for the bacteria. The removal caused the infection to spread into his bloodstream. Reports indicated that Daniel was awaiting another liver and kidney transplant.
Following the tragic news, an outpouring of condolences flooded social media from friends, colleagues, and fans. Many extended their sympathies to his family, particularly his eight-year-old daughter, Michaela, whom he shared with his former partner Cristina Riva Palacio. The couple was married from 2014 to 2019.
Daniel Bisogno leaves behind a legacy in Mexican entertainment, remembered for his sharp commentary, quick humor, and charismatic on-screen presence. His absence will be deeply felt by those who knew and admired him.
