Trivia

Father of actress Christie Miró.

Served with the Puerto Rico Air State Guard 1st Air Base Group.

Served in the United States Army from 1958 to 1960 as a specialist in the Army Medical Corps.

Graduated from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez as an surveyor.

He is considered one of the pioneers of Puerto Rican television in the variety show genre and one of the longest-running on the Island.

Late in August 2024, he had to be hospitalized due to a fall. Some news outlets erroneously reported on 1 September that Miro had died, but his daughter Diana refuted the claims.

In 2003, Miró was diagnosed with colon cancer. He refused to take time off work, keeping on his daily schedule of hosting "El Show de las 12" even as he had cancer.

Miró began in the entertainment business as a singer, writer, and comedian. His big break in the entertainment business came in 1964 when the actor turned television producer Paquito Cordero offered him a job as the host of El Show de las 12, a new program that was about to begin at Telemundo, then known as "Telemundo channel 2". El Show de las 12 first broadcast in January 1965.

Like Dick Clark in the United States, Miró is known for his longevity in front of the cameras while aging relatively little physically.

In January 2005, shortly after celebrating forty years of El Show de las 12 on the air, Miró was told the show could not continue longer, due in part to the changes in Telemundo Puerto Rico's production department. The usually-cool Miró went on a radio station and angrily declared that he was not rich, calling Telemundo Puerto Rico's producer, Tony Mojena, the station's "golden boy".

He and his wife Juanita "Ita" Medina, a former dancer and choreographer, were charged with tax evasion by the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury. After a plea bargain, Miró pled guilty to a minor tax evasion charge in early 2008, while given the chance to pay his tax debt and associated fines.

On June 13, 2022, Miro received an Emmy Golden Circle award for his 50 year career on Puerto Rican television in a ceremony where Sylvia Gómez, Luz Nereida Vélez and Cyd Marie Fleming were also honored for their respective careers.

Miro was one of the very few local figures to have never worked for any other network than Telemundo until 2010, when he was hired by Puerto Rico TV, now called "WIPR-TV", to host a show named El Show de Eddie Miro, and later, in 2014, as a comedian for some sketches on WAPA America's El Tiempo Es Oro.

Eddie Miró was a Puerto Rican television show host. He is best known for being the host of Telemundo Puerto Rico's variety show El Show de las 12 (The Noon Show) for over 40 years.

The "Condesa" doll always had a segment within El Show de las 12 and was the most-watched part of the program, so much so that its popularity prompted the doll, by then known as "La Comay", to have its show titled Xclusivo , with Miro as the host.
