2000: Silverio Pérez In 2000, ''Anda Pa'l Cara'' began, with
Silverio Pérez as
host. During this first year, Pérez focused more on a late night
talk show format with a slight focus on
political commentary. During this time the show counted with Gabriel Ferri as creative director.
2001-2003: Luis Raúl and Gricel Mamery When Pérez left the show, most people thought its popularity would decline. However, the combination of new hosts -
comedian Luis Raúl and
Gricel Mamery - and their chemistry, kept the show alive on the charts. During their run, the show changed its format to one more oriented to
comedy sketches benefitting from Luis Raúl talent. He brought most of his well-known characters, and several new ones, to the show, infusing it with a lighter format.
2003-2005: Luis Raúl leaves Again, when
Luis Raúl left the show in 2003, many thought that audiences would reject the change. A long casting process ensued, and
Venezuelan
host Daniel Sarcos was picked to join Mamery. Known
Puerto Rican host,
Sonya Cortes, was also chosen to complete the trio of hosts. This decision angered many local celebrities, who argued the election of a foreign host over a Puerto Rican one. However, after a few months, legal problems concerning Sarcos visa didn't allow him to continue working, and Puerto Rican
Rafael José was chosen to replace him. José mostly kept the previous format intact doing comedy sketches, albeit with a slight turn into a more celebrity oriented show. Most audiences embraced the selection and the show kept performing well. José would remain in the show until 2006 when he left to work in the United States. The year before, Mamery had also left the show.
2006-2009: Youngest vision, Rony, Sonya and Alexandra In 2005, when Mamery left the show, she was replaced by young host
Alexandra Fuentes. Fuentes used to play a parody of Mamery in the show
Salvese Quien Pueda on WKAQ-TV. The following year, radio host,
Rony the Hyper joined the cast in a transition move before José left the show.

Milly Cangiano was added to the team to collaborate with Ramón "Papo" Brenes, who had been working in the show since 2000.
