It is the longest running and most watched late-night talk show in the history of Spanish television. Despite being characterized by some as a classic example of telebasura (trash TV), it won several honors during its run, including one Ondas Award, two Iris Awards, and six TP de Oro Awards.
In December 2023, it received a surprise return to screens with Crónicas marcianas: El Reencuentro, a series of episodes collecting memories of the programme from Sardà and other collaborators on the show. The show received a new title sequence and good ratings, however nothing has yet been confirmed regarding a full reboot.
