Eddie Miró

Eddie Miró (born March 15, 1935, in Humacao, Puerto Rico) is a television show host in Puerto Rico. He is best known for being the host of Telemundo Puerto Rico's variety show El Show de las 12 (The Noon Show) for over 40 years. Like Dick Clark in the United States, Miró is known for his longevity in front of the cameras while aging relatively little physically. During the long television run of "El Show de las 12", he came into contact with many famous entertainers, both local and foreign. Some of the local celebrities he worked with as co-hosts and guest stars were Nydia Caro, Luis Antonio Cosme, Awilda Carbia, Ángela Meyer, Otilio Warrington, Dagmar, Lou Briel, the members of El Gran Combo and Menudo, Machuchal and others. Foreign acts that he presented included Raphael, Celia Cruz, Julio Iglesias, Rocío Jurado, Sandro de América, Marilyn Pupo (who resides in Puerto Rico but is Cuban), Gloria Trevi, José Luis Rodríguez, Hugo Henríquez, and many others.

In Puerto Rico's competitive television market, Miró outlasted rival hosts Luis Vigoreaux and his son Luisito of WAPA-TV, and, later on, Televicentro competition such as Luis Antonio Rivera ("Yoyo Boing"), who were among the hosts of El Show de las 12's main competitor, El Show del Mediodia (The Midday Show). It should be mentioned that Eddie Miró outlasted Luis Vigoreaux in part because of Vigoreaux's murder in 1983.

On June 13, 2022, Miro received an Emmy Golden Circle award for his 50 year career on Puerto Rican television in a ceremony where Sylvia Gómez, Luz Nereida Vélez and Cyd Marie Fleming were also honored for their respective careers.
