Víctor Trujillo (b. June 19 o July 30, 1961 in Mexico City) is a Mexican host, comedian and political commentator, best known for his character Brozo the Clown, a green-haired, unkempt and aggressive clown (an anti-clown).
In 1987, after appearing in a variety show called En tienda y trastienda (Store and behind the counter), Trujillo created a new program called La caravana (The caravan), alongside his Tienda y trastienda partner Ausencio Cruz. La caravana was a successful show with skits protagonized by characters created by Trujillo and Cruz, it was reminiscent of the years of comedy in carpas in México. It featured characters such as Estetoscopio Medina Cháirez, played by Trujillo, representing a low-class Mexican guy with a funny accent, who spoke ironically of the way of life of the poor; also, it was the first time that Brozo appeared on air, where Brozo told fairy tales in front of the camera, freely changing the story to fit city realities of crime and poverty, meant as teen and adult oriented entertainment. Trujillo later had a night show as another character, "La Beba Galván", this time without Ausencio Cruz.
Trujillo parted ways with TV Azteca and changed network to Televisa, where as Brozo, was host of his own news program called El Mañanero, as an anchorman and political commentator. An intelligent man behind the make-up of a clown, Victor Trujillo could criticize freely and poignantly the actors of the political scene (not very reputed among the general public), and soon his program reached high ratings and was attended by high-profile politicians trying to reach the public.
Brozo was an important part in the most damaging of all videoscandals affecting Mexico City mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, as it was in his program a recording showing René Bejarano filling a portfolio with dollars given by entrepreneur Carlos Ahumada was publicly released, followed immediately by a studio interview with an unsuspecting Bejarano, who saw the video for the first time at the spot.
After the death of Carolina Padilla (both his wife and his program's producer), Trujillo cancelled El Mañanero. Some time later, he started a new, similar show called El cristal con que se mira (The crystal to look through), this time as himself. In 2005, Trujillo caused the downfall of PRI's presidential precandidate Arturo Montiel, when he announced as confirmed a current inquiry on Montiel's family and personal fortune. This inquiry was later denied by the government, but the damage was done and Montiel quit the presidential race a few days later.
After the cancellation of El Cristal..., Trujillo took a break and later resumed his career again as Brozo in another night show entitled El Circo de Brozo (Brozo's Circus). The program aired for a short period of time and then was cancelled. As of August 2007, Trujillo (as Brozo) has another night show called "El NotiFiero".
Fluent in both German and English languages, he interviewed German rock group The Scorpions as "Brozo El payaso Tenebroso" [Brozo The Creepy Clown] (with makeup and everything) in German. He also translated himself and the group to Spanish. The members of the group were amazed being interviewed by a green haired, fat, hobo looking clown in perfect German.
