El uruguayo arrancó en 1990 del otro lado del charco en el programa El Show Del Mediodía, en el canal 4 donde también trabajaban Álvaro Navia y Sebastian Almada, dos comediantes que integrarían la banda de los uruguayos.
El auge del imitador llegó con el programa argentino VideoMatch. Luego de presentar un video de cámaras ocultas fue contratado junto a sus compañeros Navia y Almada. "En el 99 cuando empezó el programa se hizo muy musical y nos sirvió mucho a la banda uruguaya", explicó el comediante y agregó, "el primer personaje que pegué fue Juan Carlos, el locutor, que presentaba el show de Miguel Rodriguez. Fue una época impresionante y poder haber sido un granito en VideoMatch, un programa que quedará en la historia de la televisión".
Los actores salieron de su zona de confort e iniciaron un nuevo periodo lejos del ala de Marcelo Tinelli. "Ahí vino una nueva etapa. Hubo que empezar de vuelta a remar", comento en diálogo con 1070 Sombras de Tarico (transmitido por Periscope) y añadió, "ahí salió lo de Peligro Sin Codificar, empezamos de a poquito con Yayo haciendo locuras y llegamos".
Sin Codificar se ha vuelto uno de los pocos programas de humor en la televisión junto con el reconocido Peter Capusotto y sus videos. El nuevo proyecto conquisto rápidamente los corazones argentino con una dinámica similar al mítico Calabroma.
"Nosotros con una escenografía sola hacemos cualquier cosa", confesó el actor y agregó con orgullo, "la famosa cañita voladora salió de pedo y llegó a la Cahampions League".
La cañita voladora logró una aceptación total entre los espectadores como la Cumbia Papal que llego hasta los oídos de Francisco. "Estaban planteando un sketch sobre la elección del Papa y salió Bergoglio, hubo que dar vuelta la página" explicó sobre el éxito y completó, "el mismo Francisco lo vio nos contó el sobrino, y él lo tomo con humor".
El artista planea seguir en la televisión argentina haciendo reír junto a sus amigos con sus imitaciones y sus canciones. Ante la posibilidad de hacer algo sólo el actor sintetizó, "soy bicho de grupo, me gusta estar más acompañado".
Acá te dejamos el gran éxito:

The marathon is a funny old race, and few events throw up such consistently gob-smacking moments as the iconic 26.2-mile distance. Exclusively for SPIKES, tattooed mother-of-two Valeria Straneo, 37, who won marathon silver on Saturday, tells her amazing story.
In her mid-thirties, Italy’s Valeria Straneo was merely a respectable domestic marathoner, with a personal best of 2:41.
Born with the hereditary disorder spherocytosis, an anaemic condition which can damage red blood cells levels, Straneo could never perform to her full potential.
Three years ago, when her condition weakened, she threatened to quit the sport for good.
“In 2010 I was so bad, I couldn’t stand for a long time because I felt so weak,” she tells SPIKES at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.
“I had problems with my stomach. It was awful. My spleen grew so big it pushed my intestine.”
Surgery to remove her spleen was the only option. Although it wasn’t life-threatening, the process was deeply unpleasant.
“It was like giving birth to a third child,” she says. “It was 25cm long and weighed 1.8kg. It was a terrifying thing”.
Remarkably, after the operation she returned to light jogging and felt “reborn”. The spleen’s removal had allowed her oxygen carrying red blood cells to grow normally.
Straneo’s hematocrit levels (the volume percentage of oxygen carrying red blood cells) had leapt from 33 per cent before surgery to around 43/44: the average for a woman is 40. The transformation when running was immediately evident.
The kindergarten teacher smashed her half-marathon personal best, recording 73:00 in early 2011, with little training.
Straneo, who lives in Alessandria near Turin, then quit her job to train full-time, and the harder she trained the more her personal bests tumbled.
In the autumn of 2011 she ran 2:26:33 to finish eighth at the Berlin Marathon, slashing nearly a quarter of an hour from her PB. “I never dreamed I could ever run below 2:30,” she says.
A year later she set a national record 2:23:44 when finishing second in Rotterdam, and went on to finish eighth in the London Olympic marathon despite suffering stomach problems in the final 10km.
Already banking the world championship qualification time last year allowed her to focus on training. She runs an average of 200km per week, and in February spent a month training at altitude alongside fellow Italian distance runner Emma Quaglia: who finished sixth in Saturday’s marathon.
This year, Straneo landed the Italian 10,000m title and secured half-marathon gold at the Mediterranean Games. She headed to Moscow for the World Championships with fairly low expectations.
“I didn’t expect anything. For me it was just an occasion for me to compete against the best girls. It was so stimulating.”
And then there were two: Straneo leads Edna Kiplagat back towards the Luzhniki Stadium
With the confidence of a veteran international performer she moved purposefully to the front from the gun and courageously set the tempo mile after mile. By the 30km mark, only reigning world champion Edna Kiplagat of Kenya could live with her ferocious pace.
Was this part of her master plan?
“No, I didn’t really have a plan to lead. Speaking to my coach Beatrice Brossa, and Massimo Magnani [the head of the Italian athletics federation and former international marathoner], they suggested I should try and start strong and run at a pace of 3:25 per kilometre.
"I just stuck to that pace. I didn’t care what the other girls were doing. It was only at 35km I realised I was alone with just one other girl."
It was just a shame that the other girl was Edna Kiplagat. In a thrilling finale, the Kenyan kicked on in the final 2km to strike gold by 14 seconds.
Not that Straneo, who at the age of 37 became the oldest ever winner of an individual running medal at a World Championships, minded too much.
“Over the final kilometres I was so happy. I know my limits. I’m not as fast as the African girls, so I just tried to keep my pace as fast as possible. A gold medal was too much.”
This leaves us with just one final question. How did her seven-year-old son Leonardo and five-year-old daughter Ariane respond to her unexpected success?
“I don’t think they realised I did a great thing and won a silver medal at the World Championships. I think they think it was just some Sunday competition.”
