El Gen Argentino
Argentine TV series or program / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Gen Argentino (Spanish for "The Argentine Gene") is an Argentine television programme aired on Telefe[6] to determine who the public considered "the greatest Argentine in history".[7] Premiered on 27 August 2007, it was a spin-off of the 2002 100 Greatest Britons series produced by the BBC.[7] The Top 10 were announced on launch night, with almost 350,000 votes cast. In subsequent episodes, two candidates were chosen via an Internet vote for each of the five categories: sports, popular culture and journalism, 19th century politics, 20th century politics, and arts, sciences and humanities.[8] On the last airing of the show, one personality among them was declared the winner.
