Fiorello and a sneak peek at Stefano De Martino's post-Sanremo plans. The live call: who will be joining "La Gialappa's"? – The video.

During the broadcast of 'La Pennicanza' on Rai Radio 2, Italian entertainer Fiorello revealed that singer Paola Iezzi will join the Gialappa's Band for the post-show segment of the upcoming 77th Sanremo Music Festival. Three months before the event, Fiorello teased the audience by asking who would host the 'Dopofestival,' confirming the Gialappa's Band but hinting at an additional guest. He explicitly named Paola Iezzi, noting she was not other famous Paolas like Barale or Ferragni. To verify the rumor, Fiorello called Iezzi live on air, where she initially deflected questions about her February schedule. When pressed specifically about being in Liguria for the festival, Iezzi attempted to deny the claim, citing potential bad weather, but Fiorello interpreted her silence as consent.

Fiorello hints about the post-festival show: "Paola Iezzi will be hosting it." She downplays the announcement in a video call

During a live segment of the show 'La Pennicanza' on November 3, 2026, host Fiorello announced that singer Paola Iezzi would join the Gialappa's Band for the 2027 Sanremo Festival after-show program. He called Iezzi via video link to confirm her availability for February engagements. When asked about potential travel plans, Iezzi initially joked about going to Switzerland but fell silent when Fiorello mentioned Liguria, the location of the festival. Fiorello interpreted this pause as acceptance, prompting Iezzi to immediately clarify over the phone that she had not agreed to anything. The interaction was presented as a lighthearted on-air moment between the two entertainers.
