In the year 1959, a group of students at the Central University of Venezuela decided to begin a series of comedy acts at the architecture school. These students included Cayito Aponte, Charles Barry, Juan Ernesto Lopez (Pepeto), and Beto Parra , to name a few. The Argentine producer Tito Martinez Del Box, saw one of their presentations and liked it so much that he invited these students to participate in the El Show de las Doce, hosted by Victor Saume. La Gran Cruzada del Buen Humor thus became one of the most popular segments on this midday show.
