He rose to fame as the host of the popular children’s Sunday variety show “En Familia con Chabelo,” which had an impressive 48-year run from 1967 to 2015. In addition to his hosting career, Chabelo successfully ventured into the entertainment industry, appearing in over 30 films and releasing more than 30 albums.
