Ernesto Chavana

Introduction

Ernesto Chavana is the longtime host of “Es Show,” a late-night Spanish-language comedy and variety show based in Monterrey, Mexico and carried by Multimedios’ Canal 6 . On the night of Monday, October 26, 2026, during a live broadcast, he kicked a small production drone that was hovering low on the studio floor, sending it flying into the face of cast member Isabella Rojas — known on the show as “La Colombiana” — who was left bleeding from the mouth on camera . Chavana apologized twice on air and says he will pay for the damage, but the network has summoned him to a human-resources meeting and, as of the latest reporting, has announced no sanction .

Background Information

“Es Show” is a late-night comedy and variety program with games, dancing, sketches, music and celebrity guests; Rojas, a prominent fixture on the show, began her career as a content creator before joining the program . The aircraft involved was a small black quadcopter with exposed rotors, hovering roughly a foot off the floor a few steps in front of a dozen performers; Milenio reported it was filming the studio for the show, and none of the outlets covering the story has identified who was piloting it or why it was flying at leg height in a crowded studio . The incident frame the New York Post published carries the in-frame caption “Ernesto Chavana kicks a production drone on the set of ‘Es Show.’”

The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation

On-air injury; consequences unresolved. Chavana kicked a studio drone into cast member Isabella Rojas’s face during a live broadcast of “Es Show,” leaving her bleeding from the mouth. He has apologized on air twice, accepted responsibility and says he will pay her damages; Multimedios has summoned him to an HR meeting and reportedly barred him from discussing the incident on air, but has announced no sanction, and no criminal complaint has been reported.

Footage of the broadcast shows the drone hovering in front of Chavana before he took a run-up and struck it with his right foot, sending it across the studio and directly into Rojas, who was standing just to the side; an audible gasp went up as she covered her face in pain and castmates rushed to help her off set . Rather than go to Rojas, Chavana stayed where he was and could be heard telling the production team, “see what you have done” . Drone industry outlet DroneXL, citing Infobae, reported he was still angry and blaming the production while crew members helped Rojas off the set .

Rojas was struck in the mouth and bled on camera; she was treated by paramedics off camera and returned to the studio later in the program to tell viewers her injuries were minor, smiling to reveal blood still around her teeth and what TMZ described as a fat lip . Chavana apologized later in the broadcast: “I’m very sorry. I am responsible for what just happened,” adding, “I feel very ashamed and embarrassed for what I have just done… I kicked this thing they put in front of me… I don’t know, maybe it was my new shoes” . In a video posted on X the next day he said, “Here I am to face up to it… I am not hiding. I am aware of the mistake I made yesterday by kicking a drone during a situation that came up on the program,” and “I offered apologies to Isabella on air and I took full responsibility for the event” . DroneXL, citing SDP Noticias, reported that in the follow-up video he called himself the only one responsible, said the kick was never meant to hurt anyone and that if there was something to pay, he would pay it .

The production team for Canal 6 said it plans to cover Rojas’ medical expenses and other damages, according to Mexican outlet Cronica, and Es Show’s production confirmed to reporters that Chavana himself would pay for the damage caused to her . SDP Noticias reported the production barred Chavana from discussing the incident on air, and Milenio reported the summons he received came from Multimedios’ human resources department, scheduling a meeting for Thursday at noon .

Public Reaction and Consequences

Clips of the kick have been viewed more than three million times on X since Tuesday, and viewers have called on the network to suspend or fire him . Commenters quoted by The Sun demanded he bear the costs personally — “what a disgusting person, he shouldn’t be the host of a show; he should pay for the moral and physical damages,” and “Reckless, get him out” . Ground News’ aggregation of the coverage noted viewers also criticized Chavana for failing to check on Rojas immediately and questioned the show’s on-set safety standards, with some urging legal action . Rojas, whom SDP Noticias reports already has legal advice, has not commented on whether she will pursue a claim, and Multimedios had announced no disciplinary measure as of Wednesday morning .

Current Status

As of the latest reporting on October 28, Multimedios has announced no sanction against Chavana; his meeting with the network’s human resources department was scheduled for Thursday, October 29, at noon, and he has been barred by the production from discussing the incident on air . He has apologized publicly twice and accepted financial responsibility for Rojas’ injuries, and no criminal complaint or civil suit has been reported in the coverage to date .

Impact on Their Career/Life

A host who has anchored one of Monterrey’s most-watched late-night shows now awaits an HR reckoning for an act broadcast live to the country and replayed millions of times online . His standing apology — “maybe it was my new shoes” — became the story’s lasting line, quoted in every major write-up of the incident . DroneXL’s analysis placed the blame for the injury squarely on the kick — “Chavana kicked the drone, so the injury is on him” — while also faulting a production that put exposed rotors at leg height among a dozen performers, meaning Chavana’s fate now rides on an HR meeting with both his conduct and his employer’s safety practices in the file .
