Los Caquitos - Debut On Chespirito

Debut On Chespirito

In 1980, a new show premiered called Chespirito which was an hour long and employed all of Chespirito's characters in sketches of varying lengths. On "Chespirito", El Chompiras and Los caquitos were revived. However, Ramón Valdéz had left Chespirito's troupe in 1979, so Peterete was forgotten and replaced with Botija (Edgar Vivar). Since most of the Caquitos sketches performed on the new show were simply remakes of the ones that had appeared years before on the older ones, Botija's character was extremely similar to Peterete's, except physically, since Botija was extremely fat, and Peterete was extremely thin.
