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.
