Jaime Bayly Letts ['xaime 'beili lets,'haime 'beili lets] (born February 19, 1965) is a Peruvian writer, journalist, and television presenter.
He is the third of nine children to receive an Emmy Award, and two of his books have been turned into international films.
Early life
Bayly was born to an upper-class Peruvian family. He was Jaime Bayly Llona's first son and the third of eleven children, Doris Letts Colmenares and his wife, Doris Letts Colmenares. Walter Bayly Llona, CEO of Credicorp, is his nephew.
He attended Markham College, a British private school in Lima, and then at Colegio San Agustin of Lima. He was encouraged by his mother to work with La Prensa of Lima in order to be more responsible through a part-time job in his youth.
He was accepted to the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Per in 1982. He had to leave the university after four years of studying for four years because he could not pass a compulsory subject.
Career
His first television appearance was in 1983 during Peru's municipal elections, interviewing candidates and politicians. Later on, he began a career as a late show host interviewing celebrities.
Bayly's first late-night show, 1990 en America, got the attention of TV audiences and critics. The following year he hosted a copy of David Letterman's Late Show called ¿Qué hay de nuevo?.
During the 1990s Bayly hosted late-night shows in the United States at CBS Telenoticias Network Latin America and Telemundo for six years.
After President of Peru Alberto Fujimori sought asylum in Japan in 2001 following a ten-year term in order to avoid prosecution on charges of corruption, independent news media found itself in a better position. Bayly was able to host political program El Francotirador ("The Sniper"), interviewing candidates to the 2001 presidential election. In that program, he apparently offended several personalities with his political opinions, and finally had to quit. Inspired by the experience, Bayly wrote a book, taking the title from the show. Later he resumed the program.
In 2006, he supported right-wing Lourdes Flores for presidency. In 2010, Bayly announced he intended to run for president in the 2011 Peruvian general election to succeed Alan García. Later that year, he supported leftist candidate Susana Villaran in her successful campaign to become mayor of Lima. As a consequence, broadcasting company Frecuencia Latina cancelled his show.
On his U.S. program which airs on the Miami-based MegaTV channel, Bayly is well known for his views which have included sharp criticism of the Venezuelan government of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.
Bayly returned to Peru in July 2013 for an interview hosted by Jaime de Althaus in his program of Channel N (8). In the interview, he made a statement that he will run for the Presidency under the banner of the party Popular Action. In 2011, he intended to run under various parties like the Christian People's Party.
