Throughout its run, there have been five major hosts: Amador Bendayán (1972–1988), Gilberto Correa (1988–1996), Daniel Sarcos (1997–2009), Leonardo Villalobos (2010–2016) and Henrys Silva (2016–present).
Mason worked with Producers Ricardo Pena, and Jorge Contreras to bring International Superstars Jerry Lewis, Herves Villachiaze, Ray Conniff, Paul Michael Glaser, R2 D2, John Travolta, The Bionic Dog, Mike Connors, Greg Morris, Farah Fawcett, Menudo with Ricky Martin[1] and many others.
This segment consisted of national high school teams competing for minutes, not points, like other game shows, to later use them up for a special House of Prizes event.
This segment also marked the beginning of Daniel Sarcos' involvement with Súper Sábado Sensacional in 1996 before becoming the show's main host in early 1997.
The heavy schedule of a long running variety television show took its toll on Amador Bendayan's health at the end of the 1970s and throughout the 1980s.
Daniel Sarcos's youthful energy caught the eye of Gilberto Correa, who at the time saw his own inevitable retire that same year.
Sarcos started in 1996 by covering the "Mega Match Sensacional" segment for his first year on the show, while Correa was hosting in the main studio.
Despite this, Súper Sábado Sensacional still goes strong over 40 years on air, maintaining its place as one of the longest running variety shows in Latin America.
On Saturday of that week, Daniel Sarcos, along with nearly all of Venevision's employees paid tribute to Peña during that airing of Súper Sábado Sensacional.

In 2009 (the final year with Sarcos as host), the show debuted a new theme composed by Miguel Mardeni and Eli Cordero and is still used to this day.
All previous theme songs are still used often during special editions of Súper Sábado Sensacional, though the intact versions have not been released due to Venevision's current copyright regulations.
