Telemundo operates a network that spans the United States and Latin America, and it has just expanded its lineup for the upcoming Miss Universe pageant. The network announced on Wednesday that Aleyda Ortiz, Clovis Nienow, and Jessica Carrillo will participate in the live coverage of the event.

The 75th edition of the pageant is scheduled for Tuesday, November 24. The ceremony will be broadcast live from Puerto Rico at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Ortiz and Nienow will serve as co-hosts and commentators during the main show. Their role involves analyzing the competition and discussing the contestants. Carrillo will take a different approach by reporting from behind the scenes. She will film segments that show the contestants preparing to enter the stage.

Jacky Bracamontes and Carlos Adyan remain the primary hosts for the program. They will lead the audience through the evening's events. The broadcast will conclude with the current Miss Universe, Fatima Bosch of Mexico, passing the crown to her successor. Bosch holds the title as the representative from Mexico.

Ortiz is a Puerto Rican presenter and former beauty queen. She will bring her experience with pageants to the commentary team. Nienow is a host known for his energy. He will also co-host a special edition of the show Pica y Se Extiende on Sunday, November 22. That episode will air immediately after the preliminary competition for Miss Universe.

Carrillo is a regular presenter on Telemundo and co-hosts the program Al Rojo Vivo. Her segment will focus on the immediate moments before the contestants walk the runway. The network stated that it will release more details about its special programming and exclusive coverage in the coming days.

The event is part of a long-running history for the pageant. Twenty-seven women from Latin America have won the title in the past. The competition brings together representatives from various parts of the world. Telemundo will air the show in the United States with simultaneous streaming on Peacock. Viewers in Latin America can watch via Telemundo Internacional cable channels and the Universal+ streaming service.
