Román ‘El Ronco’ Gámez, known for discovering the talent of Manolo Rojas, expressed his deep sorrow over the comedian’s death, whom he considered almost like a son. In an interview with RPP, Gámez recounted that his first impression of Rojas came when he heard his imitation of ‘El Brother Pablo’, which led him to invite him to his show in the 1980s, when Rojas was still unknown.
The broadcaster recalled that, to ensure Rojas maintained his humility despite his success, he put him through an unusual “humility test” by asking him to wash his car. “He always kept his humility; that is the highest praise you can give a person,” Gámez emphasized, highlighting the familial bond they developed over the years.
The passing of Manolo Rojas, who died at the age of 63, has left a void in the world of Peruvian humor. As mentioned in other reports, his legacy will endure among those who admired him.
