VÃctor Alberto Trujillo Matamoros (born July 30, 1961) is a Mexican
host, comedian, political commentator and journalist. He is best known
for his character Brozo el Payaso Tenebroso (Brozo the Creepy Clown),
a green-haired, unkempt, obscene and aggressive clown (an
anti-clown).Trujillo was born in Mexico City. In 1967, after appearing
in an Imevisión variety show called En tienda y trastienda (Front and
Back of House), Trujillo created a new program called La caravana (The
Caravan), alongside his Tienda y trastienda partner Ausencio Cruz. La
caravana was a successful show with skits played by characters created
by Trujillo and Cruz, with a comedy style calling back to the era of
carpas. It featured characters such as Estetoscopio Medina Cháirez,
played by Trujillo, representing a low-class Mexican guy with a funny
accent, who spoke ironically of the way of life of the poor. La
caravana also marked the first on-air appearance of Brozo, where he
told heavily modified fairy tales in front of the camera; the
modifications reflected the realities of crime and poverty in the
Mexican ghetto. The success of the two programs brought advertising
revenues to Imevisión, which by the early 1990s was airing steadily
more foreign productions. Trujillo later had a nighttime program as
another character, "La Beba Galván", this time without Cruz.Trujillo
continued with TV Azteca, Imevisión's successor, hosting programs
including El Diario de la Noche until 2000. That year, he brought his
act to Canal 40, where Brozo was host of his own news program called
El Mañanero as an anchorman and political commentator. An obvious
intelligent man behind the make-up of a clown, Victor Trujillo could
criticize freely and poignantly the actors of the political scene (not
very reputed among the general public), and soon his program received
high ratings and featured high-profile politicians; it also began
being simulcast on some Grupo ACIR radio stations.In 2001, after 16
months, Trujillo left Canal 40 in order to sign a contract with
Televisa and move his program there, which he said would allow him to
take on a wider variety of projects. For instance, he appeared on
programs surrounding the 2002 FIFA World Cup and hosted a season of
Big Brother México.
