In 1997, Canseco became one of the original co-hosts of Despierta América in 1997.[6] It is the number-one rated Spanish language morning show and she has starred on it since its debut.[6]

In 2002, Canseco and Star Jones were selected by Payless ShoeSource to be spokeswomen for its South America marketing effort.[7]

On December 13, 2005, Canseco and Raúl De Molina announced the nominations for the upcoming 2006 Premio Lo Nuestro awards show.[8] Canseco said that the 2005 program was seen by more than nine million people and one of Univision's highest ranked specials.[8]

Advocacy

In 2006, Fernando Arau, Raúl González and Canseco were part of a Got Milk? campaign[4] to help prevent obesity amongst Latinos.[10] More than 33 percent suffer from this affliction and Canseco wore a milk mustache to promote a healtier lifestyle by "milking it up" in the morning.[10]

Prior to the 2008 election, Canseco was featured in a public service announcement, called "Ve y Vota en las Primarias" or "Get Out and Vote in the Primaries".[11]

In 2009, Canseco was the Master of Ceremonies for MALDEF's 25th Annual San Antonio Awards Gala which honored "community champions".[12]

Charitable work

Canseco lived with her grandmother in Mexico City and remembered the best gift her uncle Chacho sent from California each year at Christmas time as a Western Union moneygram.[13] As a child, she did not realize that her uncle sent monthly support payments but knew then that Christmas money order meant a getting a gift like a doll for her.[13] With an "economic crisis"[13] in 2008, Canseco was scheduled on two nights in December to help give away two billion dollars to help others keep the same sentiment as the Christmas Day approached.[13] On April 17, 2010, in a similar give-a-way, she documented the impact of wired transfers in Washington, D.C..[14]

On January 23, 2010, Canseco was amongst more than 50 Univision personalities who solicited live donations for the "Unidos Por Haití"(United for Haiti)[15] 2010 Haiti earthquake relief effort.[15] The live show aired during Sábado Gigante.[15]

In 2009, Canseco modeled a Gustavo Cadile dress on People en Español's "Los 50 Más Bellos 2009" in Spanish, or "The 50 Prettiest People in 2009", red carpet.[18] Giselle Blondet, her former Despierta América cast mate, wore vintage Michelle Nazar.[18] On November 5, 2009, Canseco appeared at the 10th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada.[19]

Awards

At the fourth annual "Women of Hope/Mujeres de la Esperanza"[20] awards, Canseco was one of nine women to win this City of Hope award which recognizes US Hispanic women role models.[20] María Elena Salinas, a Univision newscaster who Canseco has worked with, also won this same award.[20]

In 2008, Canseco was selected as one of People en Español's "Los 50 Más Bellos"("The 50 Most Beautiful People") as well as Jackie Guerrido.[21] She won this award again in 2009 and posed dressed as Greta Garbo.[22]
