During the first season of Saturday Night Live, as part of the news segment "weekend update", show host Chevy Chase made jokes about the death of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. Chase kept up the jokes from the 22 of November( two days after Franco's death) until he left the show in 1976.
TIME Magazine Cover: Generalissimo Franco - Mar. 18, 1946 - Francisco Franco - Spain - Military - World War II - Generals
All of Chase's jokes and his replacement Jane Curtin's joke marking the one year anniversary of the death of Franco, were edited together and translated into Spanish. The video was produced for the exhibition jornadas contra franco in support of the artist Eugenio Merino who was being sued by the Francisco Franco Foundation for dishonoring the image of the dictator. With thanks to Chevy Chase and the SNL writers.
