Ricardo Meruane

César Ricardo Meruane Meruane (Santiago de Chile, December 7, 1956) is a Chilean humorist

A year later, he decided to devote himself entirely to humor, working in different nightclubs in Santiago, until he was discovered by producer Emilio Rojas, who in 1983 took him to the programs Sábados gigantes and Noche de gigantes, both hosted by Don Francisco, where he gained national notoriety. Parallel to this, he ventured into the café concert format, presenting his shows Fotocopia feliz del Edén (1984) and La Viroca (1988).

In the late 1980s he returned for a stint on the international version of Sábado gigante, now broadcast from Miami, United States, where he reached the peak of his comedy career and managed to be seen by millions of viewers around the world. In 1998 he premiered his café concert Prejuicio final. After his failure he was away from the stage for several months, and in 2012 he starred in a reality show called Gracias no se molesten in Vía X, whose title comes from a phrase that Meruane mentioned repeatedly during his presentation in Viña del Mar. That same year he performed at the Festival Viva Dichato 2012, where his failure was repeated.

He currently has a wood carving business.

In 2021, he appeared in the world's first film made with "Deepfake" titled "Una película de zombies".
