“Crocodile man is talking to you doll and donkey, so you can make your videos like the ones online with the crocodile man. I don’t hold you too much, do it now! Don’t waste time (…)”.

These words were spoken by the humorist Alvaro Lemon, with a guitar in his hand and sitting on the sofa in a house. His song was recorded in a video he posted on his Twitter account, which has more than 10,000 followers.

In the post, Lemon asks his friends to cooperate because he “makes business promotional videos, Christmas greetings, and whatever else he needs.” He maintains that audiovisual products are cheap and that they can call him on his mobile number for any assistance.

The humorist’s message spread over that social network and some people had already announced that they wanted to help him.

“ The Cayman Man, ” as he is known, was left without a job in 2019 after he was known to have left ‘Sábados Felices,’ one of the oldest Colombian TV shows in which he has participated for more than 40 years.

At the time, Lemon thanked the show for its many years of work, but he made no secret of his annoyance with the way his departure was delivered. It also turned out that he was fired due to pension issues: at the age of 74, he had already fulfilled 62 rules for retirement of men.

“They told me everything was the same, that I was still on the payroll. However, after some time, they told me I had to go.
