00:00Hello and welcome to Guachamollo Español, I am Fernando and today we will know the story behind the popularity and success of Roberto Gómez Bolaños Chespirito.
00:15He is a child who lacks many things, but he throws, at least it was my intention, a message of optimism. I did not know who his parents were, that is, I did not have them.
00:29From engineer to comedian. More than 43 years of career, 60,000 clean quarters, 2,400,000 lines and 668 million letters.
00:44One of my records, of which I can really dawn, is having put together the best humorous group there has been. There has been nothing that even comes close.
00:59We are not talking about your average writer, but about Roberto Gómez Bolaños, better known throughout Latin America and the world as Chespirito.
01:08One of the most relevant actors, screenwriters, directors and producers of cinema, theater and radio of his time.
01:15Curiously, this inspiring man, dedicated to literary arts, began studying mechanical engineering at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
01:25And although he obtained his degree, in reality he never exercised as such.
01:29Roberto worked there as a writer, as a creative of advertising texts and did the program of Virute Capulina, being an employee of Publicidad Darcy.
01:41He also tried his luck as an amateur boxer, but it was evident that his fate would be very different.
01:48He began working as a creative writer in a media company for which he wrote advertising texts.
01:56Something that is well known about this creative genius is that he always preferred to be recognized as a writer.
02:03Although, as we all know at this point, his star also shone intensely in front of the cameras, and not only behind them.
02:11Roberto Gómez Bolaños began to give some very important ideas.
02:16Virute Capulina was very happy with Chespirito, because he had a lot of comic vein, and they hired him to work in cinema.
02:26In fact, he is the author of two books, El Diario del Chavo del Ocho and Sin Querer Queriendo, a compilation of his memories.
02:34If you ask him what his profession is, he will tell you writer, before actor, producer or composer. He is a writer.
02:40El Shakespeare Chiquito
02:43Born in Mexico City on February 21, 1929, he was the son of another creative genius, Francisco Gómez Linares,
02:52who was a painter, cartoonist and illustrator, and his wife, Elsa Bolaños Gacho, a bilingual secretary cousin of the Mexican ex-president Gustavo Díaz Ordaz.
03:03While it is said that his taste for the arts began from a very young age, we could not have a taste of his ingenuity,
03:10until he began to write the notebooks that were used for the radio and television programs of the famous comedians Viruta and Capulina,
03:18with whom he worked for more than 20 years.
03:21Gaspar Henaile, Capulina and Marco Antonio Viruta debuted on television with the series Comicos y Canciones,
03:29a project that they started on the radio, where under the scripts of the writer and comedian Roberto Gómez Bolaños,
03:35the duo imposed unusual comicality.
03:38Unfortunately, despite all their success, the producers decided to give a radical change in the sense of humor to the programs,
03:46so they ceased to be successful and the three comedians were forced to take separate paths.
03:52It was more or less at this time that the film director Agustín Delgado gave him the nickname with which he began to be known since then, Chespirito.
04:03The film director Agustín P. Delgado, Agustín P. Delgado, we made a film and he was the one who carried the notebooks,
04:10and since he was little, instead of Chespier, they called him Chespirito, that's what he called him.
04:17Delgado constantly repeated to Gómez Bolaños that he was a very talented writer,
04:23and he even compared his creations for the radio and television with those of the renowned classic author and pillar of English literature, Shakespeare.
04:32But in Chiquito, due to his short stature.
04:45The genius behind the successes
04:47Television has been the super revolution, it is the century of television,
04:51and you have to forget about the idiots who called it the idiot box, it is a very important box.
04:59Although he achieved international success in the 70s with El Chavo del Ocho, the reality is that his genius became evident long before.
05:07One of his first popular scripts was El del Ciudadano, to whom he later baptized with the last name Gómez, in a homonymous way.
05:16Then they gave him a 30-minute section in a popular program on Sabatino star schedule,
05:22where the Chespirotadas and the Supergenios de la Mesa Cuadrada emerged,
05:26an intelligent parody about the commentators, to which María Antonieta de las Nieves La Chilindrina and Rubén Aguirre el Profesor Jirafales joined,
05:36who received this last name at that time due to his 1.92 meters in height.
05:43Don't listen to the pipe of Cañería, what happens is that...
05:47Which pipe of Cañería? Which pipe of Cañería?
05:50Once he had his own program, dedicated exclusively to his ideas, he saw himself in trouble and decided to dust off a script that he had long decided to stop writing.
06:01The story was inspired by an event in real life when Gómez Bolaño was in Acapulco.
06:08In a park I gave him a good tip and he didn't stop, he ran out to buy a ham cake.
06:15But in his hurry he left a notebook, very worn, mistreated, but that contained the essence of what was his diary.
06:29The artist read these memories that inspired him to create the character that would be broadcast for the first time on the 8th channel of Mexican television.
06:38It was El Chavo, which in Mexico refers to a child or a young man, and of the 8th because it was the channel in which it was broadcast.
06:49El Chavo del 8
06:51This is the number one program of humorous television, El Chavo.
06:58The idea that a child who lived in a barrel without his parents within a crowded neighborhood and thought nothing more than ham cakes, which are different from cakes as they are known in Mexico, sounded crazy.
07:12And no one could have predicted the immense success that would lead all the members to take off straight to fame.
07:20Doña Florinda, Don Ramón, La Chilindrina, Kiko, Professor Jirafales and Mr. Belly, among others, made up the neighbors of El Chavo del 8.
07:31The success of such a simple premise, with body humor and innocence, swept not only in Mexico with the highest audience in the country during the 70s with 60 points of rating,
07:53but also reached all of Latin America and doubled to more than 50 languages, among which are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Greek and many more.
08:05Even the Colombian nationality was granted to all the members of the cast.
08:21Fame also raised in recognition to Gómez Bolaños, of whom his other characters were known before El Chavo, El Chapulín Colorado, El Doctor Chapatín and El Chompidas.
08:33All with CH became a banner that represented Mexico in other parts of the world.
08:39But of course, not everything is honey on eyelashes when you get so high.

08:54Very well, let's go to the end.
08:56Enemistad, Reconciliación y Legado
09:00Chespirito had under control all the actors of his programs, because of having modified his characters in some way, they would also be modifying his valuable creation.
09:11Internationally, the character of Carlos Villagran, Kiko, was acquiring the same fame as El Chavo, which opened many doors to the actor and caused conflicts between him and Roberto Gómez Bolaños.
09:25I never see him because he had a strange behavior, I don't blame him or anything.
09:31He told me, I want to go, I said, just as I had told Rubén Aguirre, go and when you want to return, the doors are open.
09:40While Villagran wanted to make use of his character and defended that he had created it, Gómez Bolaños never opposed him to exploit it, as long as he gave him the credit for his creation.
09:52Naturally, this was a bomb that exploded and kept the actors separated for 22 years, until 2000 during a tribute to Chespirito.
10:02With international recognition, various awards, tributes and the affection of several generations of Latin America, Roberto Gómez Bolaños, one of the most prolific and beloved creatives of the 20th century,
10:16left this world on November 28, 2014, in his residence in Cancun, southern Mexico.
10:23Upon arrival at the Aztec Stadium, the assistants to the tribute titled Chespirito, thank you forever, exploded in a long ovation and cheers, until the coffin was placed in the center of the stadium.
