Alfonso de Nigris

Alfonso "Poncho" de Nigris Guajardo (born March 3, 1976 in Monterrey, Nuevo León), best known under his stage name Poncho de Nigris, is a Mexican actor and television personality of Italian descent, who currently hosts programming for the Monterrey-based regional network Multimedios Televisión, including the Sunday night variety show Poncho en Domingo. His brothers are football players Antonio de Nigris (deceased) and current C.F. Monterrey striker Aldo de Nigris.

De Nigris first came to prominence in the second season of Big Brother México in 2003, where he placed third in the competition. He would later be the contestant in the 2011 cycle of Multimedios's dating competition Mitad y Mitad involving a season-long process of finding him a partner, and hosted Pura Gente Bien on sister channel XHSAW-TDT, along with El Club del Italiano for Televisa Regional's MTYtv; that show was canceled in 2013 after joking comments against an anti-bullying program.^[1]

He returned to Monterrey television in February 2015 with the premiere of Poncho en Domingo on Multimedios, where he was paired with co-host Marcela Mistral. The two fell in love and after a proposal to Mistral by de Nigris was accepted, de Nigris and Mistral were married in a televised ceremony on the network recorded on November 23, 2015 and aired on November 25.
