.

The name of the show in Spanish is a commonly used phrase meaning "whatever it takes" (literally: "whoever might fall"), as a reference to the unorthodox interviewing methodology.

A recurring segment is "Proteste Ya" (Protest Now), which involves the people of a certain neighborhood or home area sending an e-mail to an e-mail address especially reserved for Proteste Ya, complaining about government negligence in their neighborhood. The CQC journalists then go to that neighborhood, find out about the problem and try to force the person responsible to make a commitment to improve the situation, often taking something from their office as a "warranty".
