Description: A host entered a Peruvian YouTube interview in someone's arms. Here is the 2013 celebrity-TV incident behind the entrance, what “ampay” means, and how guest Reimond Manco responded.
The answer is a 13-year-old television clip
In episode six of the Peruvian interview series Fuera de Lugar, former footballer and host Óscar “Neka” Vílchez was carried into the studio by another person. His guest, former player Reimond Manco, watched the elaborate entrance. Reports dated October 22, 2026, identified it as a reenactment of footage that had followed Manco since December 2013.
Back then, entertainment television showed Manco being helped out of a vehicle and carried after a night out. In Peru, ampay is a familiar tabloid-TV term for catching a public figure on camera in an embarrassing or supposedly revealing moment. That cultural shorthand explains why the entrance could work before anyone asked the first interview question.
How the gag worked
According to contemporary coverage, Vílchez was placed in a chair and theatrically roused, while “Pásame la botella” played. Manco covered his mouth, apparently trying not to laugh, and then mocked the way the host had been carried, comparing it to handling a mop. The target of the old clip suddenly became a critic of its new performance.
The conversation kept the deliberately sharp tone. Vílchez contrasted Manco's youthful football promise, mentioning Colombian star James Rodríguez, with Peruvian singer Iván Cruz. Without that local sporting and musical context, the line sounds like a random comparison; in the room, it was another jab about the gap between a much-discussed young talent and the life he later led.
Was Manco actually offended?
In an Instagram statement reported by América Deportes, Manco said the show's premise was to laugh at one's own mistakes and answer sarcasm with sarcasm. That is his account of the exchange, rather than proof of what every participant privately felt. Jokes involving an embarrassing past incident can still divide audiences.
The important distinction is chronological: the incident being imitated dates to 2013; the deliberately staged parody attracted attention in October 2026. This was not new footage of Manco needing help. It was a host choosing to become the visual punchline himself.
Conclusion
Vílchez was carried onto Fuera de Lugar to recreate Manco's notorious 2013 television moment. The joke depended on a specifically Peruvian tabloid reference, the absurdity of a host arriving like a prop, and Manco's quick comeback. This account uses reporting that quotes and credits the program's footage; it does not claim independent viewing of the full episode.
