Gabriela Sandoval

Gabriela Sandoval was the senior co-host of the Gabriela and Brandon television show along with the subordinate co-host Brandon Nesbitt. Sandoval had been a star TV foreign correspondent for MSNBS when her husband César filed for divorce. This set-back in her personal life led her to push harder in her professional life. She exaggerated some of her exploits in Afghanistan and Iraq, and quickly had been caught out leading to her being fired.

Sandoval needed work and had enough of a reputation left to start Gabriela and Brandon along with Nesbitt and their producer Saul Bichbinder. Still, she was bitter, viewing it as the freak show and not the big tent she had been moving towards.
