Telemundo reunites “Chavo” characters on morning show

June 5, 2013 by Veronica Villafañe

Chavo8-reencuentro3Actor Carlos Villagrán, who became famous for playing Quico on the popular series “El Chavo del 8,” was on Telemundo’s morning show “Un Nuevo Día”  this morning,.

During the show,  he participated in a surprise reunion with María Antonieta de las Nieves, most famously known as “La Chilindrina.”

After years of not talking to each other, the Mexican comedians, who for decades have personified the characters in the children’s program, put their differences behind them and “made up” on Telemundo’s morning show.

During the program, de las Nieves blamed the press for creating a non-existent feud between the two actors.

    This not news. Maybe it was a surprise that both appeared in character. But Carlos Villagran and María Antonieta de Las Nieves (as Chilindrina) have already appeared together on several ocassions on Estrella TV’s game show “A Que No Puedes” prior to Telemundo’s appearance. To call this a “surprise reunion” is a stretch.
