Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

El Show de Renny was a Venezuelan variety show hosted by Renny Ottolina that aired from 1958 to 1971 on Radio Caracas Televisión. Ottolina also wrote and produced the show, becoming one of the first independent television producers in Venezuela. The show featured Las Chicas de Renny. They included Julia Pérez, Maria Gracia Bianchi, Ingrid Bolaw, Gudelia Castillo, Liduvina Ramírez, the twins Jeanette and Zayda Garcia, and Elizabeth Flores Gil. In order to have the best and most up to date show, Ottolina hired foreign choreographers such as Sandra Le Brocc and Jim Huntley, and famous Latin American narrators Paula Bellini and Susana Dujim. Ottolina would typically host El Show de Renny for two consecutive years and then take a year off, spending that time in another country. Due to this, there were interruptions to the show between the years 1959 and 1961, 1962 and 1964, and 1965 and 1967. While on one of his breaks in 1960, Renny Ottolina hosted an English language program on the New York City television station WABC-TV. When he returned to Venezuela in 1961, he introduced the sketches format to his show.
