The iconic American show Saturday Night Live has entertained audiences for over five decades with sketches featuring renowned artists and comedians. In one of its most recent episodes, Puerto Rican singer Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio —better known as Bad Bunny— used the platform to reinterpret the Latin classic El Chavo del 8 in English.
It was unintentional! Or maybe it was... but the truth is that Chespirito: Sin querer queriendo, Max's new series, has once again put the genius behind such beloved characters as El Chavo del 8 and El Chapulín Colorado at the center of the conversation.
El Chavo del 8 was a popular Mexican television sitcom that aired from 1971 to 1980. The show was created by and starred Roberto Gómez Bolaños, a Mexican actor, comedian, and writer. Gómez Bolaños played the titular character, El Chavo, a poor orphan who lived in a barrel in a low-income housing community.
