Now known as Chespirito, Roberto decides to try his luck on another channel and, despite some setbacks, manages to put together a successful sketch.

As El Chavo gains popularity and Roberto is given more creative freedom, Channel 8's competitors vie to bring Chespirito on board. Meanwhile, success and fame cause trouble for Roberto, his team and his family, leading to the comic's most prolific -- and devastating -- era.

Doctor Chapatín's resignation puts Roberto's career at risk, so he must create a new character before the executives give his place to another comedian. But it's his cunning and an old idea that will save the day.

In 1936, a young Roberto is sent to Guadalajara, where he struggles to fit in. Decades later, the now seasoned Chespirito finds himself lost without his biggest supporters at Channel 8, but memories of childhood help the comic conceive El Chavo del Ocho -- his most successful series yet.

With Roberto's career on the rise, the cast of El Chavo embarks on an international tour. But while her husband dives headfirst into his work, Graciela struggles with her new reality as the wife of a star.

In 1951, Roberto pursues his dream of a career in television, defying his mother's orders, to try his hand at both comedy...and love.

As Chespirito's characters reach the height of their popularity across Latin America, Roberto relishes in his newfound level of fame -- while growing more distant from his family back home. In Acapulco, Roberto finds himself struggling with what he feels and what he thinks is right.

Roberto gets his team together for one last project -- a comedic soccer film called El Chanfle. While the cast and crew come to blows on set, Roberto faces a choice between his past and his future. Later, a warm welcome in Colombia reminds Chespirito of his true purpose: making people laugh.
