Television host Avri Gilad announced Saturday evening that he will host his regular program on Keshet 12 alongside Yair Sherki later that night, despite experiencing paralysis on one side of his face. Gilad addressed his condition humorously in a video recorded before the broadcast, stating his intention to remain on air. "If you had nothing to think about during Shabbat and wondered if this person with the crooked face would return to broadcast with Sherki tonight, the answer is, of course," Gilad said. He explained that the current events necessitate his continued broadcasting despite his physical state. "My face is crooked, but reality is more crooked, and we need to deal with it to straighten it out," he stated. Gilad concluded by inviting viewers to tune in around 11 p.m. for the regular program, expressing hope that "everything will straighten out" by then.
