Lente Loco (English translation: "Crazy Lens") is a hidden camera-comedy television show that aired on Univision from 1992 to 2001. Similar to the long-running Candid Camera, the show involved concealing cameras filming ordinary people being confronted with unusual situations. Carlos Marquez-Sterling was creator along with Manuel Elgarresta and Fernando Fiore, the original host of Lente Loco beginning in 1992. Model Odalys Garcia joined the show midway through its first season, remaining on the show for the rest of its run. George Ortuzar replaced Fiore as host in 1993. Ortuzar left in 1995 and was replaced by Raymond Arrieta for the remainder of its run.

Sponsorship

Kellogg's was a main sponsor of the show throughout most of its run until the show’s final season, with their breakfast cereals (most frequently either Corn Pops, Froot Loops or Frosted Flakes) advertised during the show (often consisting with one of the hosts eating the advertised cereal) as well as that episode’s advertised cereal sponsoring select segments.

Other sponsors of the show have included Blockbuster Video, Budweiser, Chevrolet, Colgate, Ford, Miller, Pepsi and Post.
