Until a few years ago, the one TV program most Mexicans turned to for political information was called The Morning Quickie, broadcast from 6-10 a.m. The host, interviewer, and main commentator was Victor Trujillo, better known as Brozo the Clown, adorned with a green wig and a red rubber nose.
格瑞罗同时也代表了另一种现代现象：喜剧人物在当代政治中所发挥的重要作用。直到几年前，墨西哥最受欢迎的政治信息类电视节目还是早上6点至10点播放的《晨间电视新闻》。该节目的主持人、采访人兼主要评论员是维克多·特鲁希略，他以戴着绿色假发和红色橡皮鼻的小丑布罗佐形象著称。正是他揭露了前墨西哥市长执政时期的一起重大腐败丑闻。
