Jorge Pedreros

At the end of the 1960s, he made his debut as producer of El show de Luis Dimas, broadcast by the Peruvian channel Panamericana Televisión. Later, together with his friends and also comedians Fernando Alarcón and Eduardo Ravani, they formed the comedy trio "Los Paparazzi", and were in charge of the direction and production of Dingolondago (TVN, 1976-1978), presented by Enrique Maluenda.

In 1978 they created the successful comedy show Jappening con Ja, which soon became a cultural benchmark on Chilean television. In it, Pedreros developed his acting streak, playing well-remembered characters such as Evaristo Espina (true archetype of the servile employee who wants at all costs to win the appreciation of the boss), the radio host Silverio Silva, El operado (a post-operative patient whose friends make him laugh excessively) or El indio bolsero (a tough North American Indian who always ends up asking for food), among others.

Jappening con Ja was broadcast for 26 uninterrupted years, of which Pedreros was only absent in 1989 and between 2000 and 2001, due to discrepancies with Ravani. In his first year out of Jappening, he was part of the program Éxito on Channel 13, in the section "La Oficina de Al Lado" where he once again played the role of Evaristo Espina. While in his second stage outside the humorous space, he participated in the programs El show de Pepito TV and A la suerte de la Olla, both produced by Canal 13 in 2001. The Jappening was broadcast until 2004 (the last chapter aired on September 14). In 2008 he returned to play "Espinita" in Mandiola & Cía. (Mega), a sort of remake of the La Oficina segment, in which Eduardo Ravani and Fernando Alarcón also participated.
