(Ed.'s Note: For the past four decades, if you had kids in the household and lived near the border, the high-pitched falsetto of a grown man in shorts and the shrieks of laughter from kids watching his antics on the Mexican channel would awaken you and make your hangover from Saturday night even worse. Xavier Lopez "Chabelo" and his pals on his long-running En Familia show were a staple at our home when our kids were growing up. Even if you got up and closed the bedroom door, his piercing voice would filter through and eventually lead you to walk into the living room to lower the volume. Lopez died yesterday. Here's his story.)
The Mexican actor Xavier López, who is known for his character Chabelo, died. The driver marked an entire era on television, since for more than 40 years he accompanied Mexicans every Sunday morning with the En Familia con Chabelo program.
Xavier López was born in Chicago, Illinois on February 17, 1935, although his parents are from León, Guanajuato. At the age of one, he and his parents returned to his state of origin, where he lived for his first eight years, before moving to Mexico City.
During his youth, Xavier López decided to study medicine, meanwhile, he began to get involved in the world of television, which later led him to leave to dedicate himself fully to acting.
Over the years, Xavier López met Ramiro Gamboa, better known as Tío Gamboín, who at that time was the host of the musical program known as Carrusel.
“El Tío Gamboín” gave him the opportunity to participate in the program in which he told a joke about a character named Chabelo, a name that Xavier López adopted from that day on.
The En Familia con Chabelo TV program was on the air from 1975 to 2015.
RIP Xavier Lòpez “Chabelo.”

What has this pendejo MARICON child lover done for us? NADA, NADA y NADA sounds like somebody we all know....
NADA
Chabelo was an American Citizen. He had a home in McAllen ? He paid property taxes to the USA.
He was a tough person. He was a businessman.
He made kids suffer with the catafixias !!! Sometimes the kids lost all the prizes and got a candy for choosing the wrong catafixia. The kid will cry and the crowd will chant and protest.... the prizes were returned to the kid.
They were kids. It was a risk to choose a catafixia.
First amendment rights you can film in public, until you run into tyrants that don't believe in the first amendment, like cops, workers in public building that think those building belong to only them, security people, stupid people, gente pendeja.
all you COPS,law enforcement people security etc READ THE FIRST AMENDMENT don't understand it re-read it and ask if YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
PEOPLE THAT THINK YOU OWN CITY,STATE, FED BUILDINGS YOU ARE WRONG ITS OWNED BY THE PEOPLE.
