Daniel Bisogno, a well-known figure in Mexican television, has tragically passed away at the age of 51.

He was best recognized as one of the co-hosts of the popular entertainment newsmagazine Ventaneando, a show that became a staple in Mexican households. His death, which occurred on February 20, 2025, has left fans, colleagues, and family members heartbroken.

The news of his passing was shared on Ventaneando’s official Instagram page, where a statement was posted expressing deep sorrow and shock: "It is with deepest sadness that we regret to report news we never wanted to give: our beloved Daniel Bisogno has just passed away due to complications he suffered after the liver transplant he underwent last September."

Bisogno had been battling severe health issues for several months leading up to his death. His health struggles began in mid-2023 when he was first hospitalized after a series of medical tests revealed multiple complications. These included esophageal varicose veins, a fissure in his rectum, and a diagnosis of COVID-19. Despite these serious challenges, he managed to return to work after a period of recovery.

However, his health took another turn for the worse in early 2024 when he was admitted to the hospital again, this time due to a pulmonary infection. It was during this period that Bisogno revealed in an emotional segment on Ventaneando that he needed a liver transplant. In September of 2024, he underwent the much-needed transplant surgery, which initially seemed to provide hope for a full recovery.

Unfortunately, his health continued to decline. In mid-September, he was hospitalized once more due to a post-transplant infection. After spending a week in the hospital, he was discharged but struggled to return to his normal life. He was scheduled to return to work in November, but in a heartbreaking turn of events, Pati Chapoy, the show's anchor and Bisogno’s longtime friend, shared that he had suffered a health crisis while attempting to return to the TV Azteca studio.

In January 2025, there was hope that Bisogno might return to Ventaneando for the show’s 29th anniversary. His colleague Pedro Solo had announced that Bisogno would make a comeback for the special occasion. However, instead of physically being present on the set, Bisogno made a brief phone call from the hospital. During this call, he expressed his gratitude for the incredible 29 years of his career, saying, “These 29 years have been wonderful in life. The best thing is a life that has given me everything, both good and bad, and everything has been a great experience for the most part. Absolute happiness. I love you with all my heart.”

Despite his illness, Bisogno’s strength and positive attitude left a lasting impression on his colleagues and fans. The love and appreciation from his co-hosts and friends were evident in their responses after the news of his passing.

Bisogno, who had joined Ventaneando in 1997 just one year after the show’s inception, quickly became a beloved personality. Known for his sharp wit and quick tongue, he earned a reputation for being both hilarious and fearless in his opinions. His candid, often humorous remarks made him a fan favorite and an essential part of the Ventaneando family.

In addition to his work on Ventaneando, Bisogno was also pursuing an acting career. He starred in the musical Lagunilla, Mi Barrio, where he showcased his talents beyond television hosting. His multifaceted career made him one of the most prominent figures at TV Azteca, where he was loved by both his colleagues and his viewers.

As the news of his passing spread, tributes from his co-workers and friends flooded social media. Pati Chapoy, his longtime colleague and boss on Ventaneando, shared her devastation on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “With immense sadness, I inform you that Daniel Bisogno died.” Her words reflected the deep bond that she and Bisogno shared, both professionally and personally.

Benjamín Salinas, the Vice President of Grupo Salinas, the parent company of TV Azteca, also shared his condolences on social media, saying: “We deeply regret the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Daniel Bisogno. He will always be remembered with great affection by the entire @Azteca family. We send our deepest condolences to all his family and friends.”

Other colleagues and friends also paid tribute to Bisogno. Juan José Origel, a prominent television personality, recalled the early days of Bisogno’s career, saying, “Many don’t know but @bisognodaniel started working with me on my radio show. It was his aunt Angelica Ortiz, the mother of @angelicamaria, who recommended him to me! Rest in Peace!” Meanwhile, Ventaneando co-host Aurora Valle expressed her sorrow, writing: “I’m invaded by memory and nostalgia, but above all great sadness… I’ll keep all the good and fun we’ve had together for many years. Muñe rest in peace, Daniel Bisogno.”

In addition to his colleagues, Bisogno is survived by his brother, Alejandro, and his 8-year-old daughter, Michaela. The loss of such a dynamic and beloved figure in Mexican television has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and fans.
