I love Charo. Even after all these years shes still a HOOT!

[kennethsouthard]

She ran the hell out of the talk show circuit in the 70s. It seemed like she was like a semi permanent guest on Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas.

@MDA Telethon
The funniest MDA Charo/Jerry reaction I have ever seen is one I have not found here.

Charo was wearing a tube top sort of thing as I recall. As she danced and sang, the top got lower and lower. You just knew she HAD to turn around to pull things up, but she never did. It was tense. Were the censors going to shut things down?

Luckily, the number ended before disaster struck, and the cameras quickly switched to Jerry. His reaction was hilarious!

I've adored Jerry all my 84-1/2 of my life.

[jsantos]

Don't let her fool you... She is a genius at her game. She get paid to act crazy stupid and she runs all the way to the bank....

[vickiellis]

I always loved her. Didn't know what she wanted with Cugat though. ❤

Charo is Like a Spanish Jessica Rabbit although I'm Still a Big Betty Boop Fan & Not ashamed to Admit It. I would Choose Charo over Jessica Rabbit.

4:29 She’s trying to pronounce words better
So no one makes fun of her English

[aprilwest]

Charo was fun to watch back in the day, can't stand Jerry

[wisdomseeker]

Jessie James yes it is. Jerry left them all of his money and *nothing* to the rest of his grown children.

I guess being irritating is her niche.
