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. He was a teen idol across Puerto Rico for the next few years. He utilized his abilities as a comic during the show as well, mixing them with his work as show host. His style also gained him acclaim among Puerto Rico's television critics. Other shows Miró expanded his career as a show host during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, hosting shows produced by Paquito Cordero, such as Noche de Gala, (Gala Night Ball), Salsa, Sabado en la Noche ("Salsa, Saturday at Night"), and Adelante Juventud ("Come Forward, Youth!"). He also worked with hosts such as, Marisol Malaret, and Deborah Carthy-Deu, among others. During the 1980s, El Show de las 12s opening consisted of a cartoon version of Eddie Miró dancing salsa and smiling. In 1989, the show included a section in which he shared gossip with Kobbo Santarrosa's doll, "La Condesa del Bochinche" ("The Countess of Gossip"), a doll which preluded Santarrosa's current doll, "La Comay". 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 own show titled Xclusivo with Miro as the host. The show was successful throughout the 1990s until Santarrosa jumped ship to WAPA-TV in 1999. Santarrosa intended to bring Eddie Miró with him to co-host the show, now renamed SuperXclusivo but Miro's was very loyal to Telemundo and Paquito Cordero therefore, he rejected the offer. 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. Family Eddie Miró married choreographer Ita Medina on August 28, 1965 at the Los Angeles Church in Carolina, Puerto Rico. Miró's daughters, Dana Miró Medina, Michelle Miró Medina, and Christie Miró Medina, went on to have careers in the entertainment business
