In 1996, Sarcos was hired by Venevision to host Mega Match Sensacional, a new segment on the variety show Súper Sábado Sensacional. By the end of the year, then host Gilberto Correa stepped down, and when the new season began in January 1997, Sarcos took over as the show's main host before being replaced by Leonardo Villalobos in 2010. Beginning in 2000, he also starred in La Guerra De Los Sexos, another segment from Súper Sábado Sensacional (co-hosting with Viviana Gibelli) until he left in 2009, and was replaced by Winston Vallenilla. He starred in the Dominican Movie, Un macho de mujer in 2006. Sarcos later hosted El Gran Navegante, which ran from 2007–2008. After his departure from Súper Sábado Sensacional, he hosted El Familión Nestlé: Trato Hecho (Spanish-language version of Deal or No Deal) which airs on Ecuavisa and is sponsored by Nestlé. Following this, he was given the opportunity to host the Miss Ecuador pageant on March 25, 2010. Also, at the start of February 2011, Sarcos became the host of the morning program ¡Levántate!, which airs on Telemundo.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or career:
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
