"Por qué llora la tarde" (originally performed by Brazilian Antonio Marcos) was known in the Reyes version for its chorus "The afternoon is crying and it's because of you", becoming a radio hit that year.[1]
In the 1990s he began his career as a comedian on the program Jappening con ja, where he is remembered for characters such as "El Huaso Clemente", "Clementina", "Tutín", "Chalo" (Le Bisoñé hair salon) and "Charly Badulaque"; The latter became very popular around the year 2000, when the program was practically based on its routine. Later he was a frequent comedian on Morandé con compañía a TV show from Mega. The success of the character allowed him to attend as a guest on stellar television programs of the time such as Viva el lunes. And a film titled "Kuma Channel: The True Story of Charly Badulaque" was even produced, which, according to Reyes himself, "follows the life of Charly, a villager who dreams of becoming an entertainer and thus fulfilling his late father's wishes" Charly Badulaque would be the most recognized character and show of his career.[2][3][4]
He was elected councilor for the commune of Puente Alto, representing the Independent Democratic Union (UDI), for the period 2004–2008, obtaining 12.00% of the vote, equivalent to 12,456 votes.

Claudio Reyes died around 11 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, 2024, as a result of a heart attack while he was celebrating a friend's birthday.[9]
Controversies
editIn 1989 he was a judge at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival and met who would briefly be his partner; one of the granddaughters of Augusto Pinochet. Supposedly she frequented him on the Chilefilms recording sets and as a result he was separated from his work by director Vicente Sabatini, and, according to Reyes, banned from the television series for life.[10][11]
In April 2023, comedian Óscar Gangas claimed that Reyes attacked fellow comedian Jajá Calderón, after an imitation of President Gabriel Boric at a meeting of friends. His own son, José Reyes Rojas, publicly called him out by saying that it was not the first time he had done it, and that he thought he had not been wrong "in marking my distance from a far-right fanatic".[12][13]
