“For the first time I find a reason to say how good that my Rober is not in this world!” Meza said. “Chespirito is already a cult program. It is part of the DNA of Latinos, we carry it in genetic memory, ”he indicated.
What do I think that the Chespirito program stops broadcasting? Although I have nothing to do with it because inexplicably I have not been called to the negotiations, I think that right now, when the world needs more fun, to do that is an aggression towards the people. pic.twitter.com/DDwaXvJQVI
