An Unlikely Duo: Gerry Scotti Makes Waves on “What’s the Weather Like?”

“The couple you don’t expect” was how a recent television appearance was described. Gerry Scotti, the renowned Mediaset host, recently graced the stage of “What’s the weather like?” on Rai Uno, having been invited by none other than Fabio Fazio.
A Fun Dynamic on “What’s the Weather Like?”
The evening commenced with a tribute to Scotti’s illustrious career, before transitioning into a lively interview. Right off the bat, scot gott quipped about his guest host, saying “Piersilvio Berlusconi is watching us!” followed by a playful, “Good evening, Piersilvio,” from Fazio.
Scotti also shared a humorous anecdote about his initial encounter with Silvio Berlusconi. “Silvio Berlusconi is there, I stop. To make himself heard by me he says ‘Would that be the one there? Claudio (Cecchetto) if you told me I would take my accountant from Brianza.’” Years later, a surprising encounter took place at Raimondo Vianello’s funeral. “See, many years ago I told you that you looked like my accountant…but now I have to tell you something,” Silvio Berlusconi told Scotti, “Wherever I am, when I turn on the TV, if your face is on, I feel at home.”
