Los Angeles, CA - On Wednesday, Hugo César López "El Muchacho Alegre" from Austin, Texas won 1st Place in the 8th season of the Tengo Talento Mucho Talento Show competition and won a $100,000 prize, including a contract with Estrella TV. López is originally from Luvianos township in the State of Mexico.
López was fired from his job as a painter and building cleaner in Austin for taking time off to participate in the show.

Now, he will continue on his quest to succeed after gaining a contract with Estrella TV.
