Andrés Avelino Hurtado Grados (born January 31, 1966), also known by his stage name Chibolín, is a Peruvian television presenter, businessman, producer, dancer and comedian. He became famous for his humorous roles in the 1990s, in the programs Risas y salsa, Risas de América and Atrévete con Andrés. Once out of comedy, he began presenting the television program Porque hoy es sábado con Andrés, aired by Panamericana Televisión from 2014 to 2024, with charitable purposes for the lower classes.
Known for his flamboyant, egocentric and controversial personality, charitable works and luxurious life, Hurtado said he is an "envoy of God to save the earth" and that he is an extraterrestrial. He was accused of influence peddling, specific active bribery and money laudering, being sentenced to 18 months of preventive detention in October 2024.
