Alejandro Wiebe (born June 1, 1970), known to everyone as Marley, is a famous TV host, comedian, and producer from Argentina. He's known for his fun personality and for hosting many popular shows.

Marley's Early Life

Marley and his older brother went to a private school when they were growing up. At one point, his family needed some help, so his mom asked for a special scholarship. This helped Marley stay at the school. He had to repeat his second year of high school because he didn't pass his English class.

Marley's TV Career

Marley started working at the Telefe TV channel in 2002. His show was called MundoShow. This program was all about traveling to different places around the world. Marley would visit these places with famous people from Argentina. The show was very popular and ran until 2003.

In 2003, Marley also hosted a show called El show de la tarde with Florencia Peña. That same year, he hosted the first season of Protagonistas únicos. This show told the life stories of famous people. He was also chosen to host the live shows for the first season of Operación triunfo. This was a reality show where people competed to become a singing star.

Later in 2003, Marley started a new travel show called Por el mundo. This show was a big hit and continued until 2007. In 2004, he hosted Odisea, en busca del escarabajo dorado. This was an adventure competition show filmed in Costa Rica. It was so popular that it had two more seasons: Odisea, en busca del tesoro perdido (2005) and Odisea, aventura argentina (2007). Marley was also asked to host three more seasons of Operación triunfo between 2004 and 2009.

Marley has hosted many other popular shows over the years. These include Minuto para ganar, where contestants try to complete challenges in one minute. He also hosted La Voz Argentina, a singing competition where judges pick singers based on their voice alone. Another fun show he hosted was Tu cara me suena. On this show, celebrities dressed up and sang like famous music stars.

He has also hosted special travel shows like Por el Mundo: Mundial. These shows took him to places like Russia and Qatar during the FIFA World Cup events. Marley continues to be a very busy and loved TV host in Argentina.
