Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro made his first televised appearance in more than a year on Saturday in a video run on a state-run network. Castro, 83, resigned the presidency last year after undergoing intestinal surgery in 2006. Here are some of the surprises from Castro's televised appearance:
- Was accompanied by a towheaded, 8-year-old named Cousin Pepe.
- Upon entry, Castro rapped a nearby jukebox and mariachi music began to play.
- Received a rousing ovation when he gave his trademark thumbs up and catch phrase "Aye-aye-ayeeee!!!"
- Nancy Reagan's appearance encouraging Cubans to "decir no las drugas."
- Castro's brother, Raul, was portrayed by handsome actor Ted McGinley.
- Announced he's moving in with a total neat-freak when he moves to his new pad in...Miami!!!
- He jumped on the couch while proclaiming his love for his new girlfriend.
- All the blantant product placements.
- The bitchy reaction he got from "Simoné de Cowell."
- Was relieved by Mariano Rivera.

Wasn't he supposed to portray the 'Ricky Ricardo' character in the December 2010 release 'I Love Lucy' blockbuster?
I actually thought Sr. Castro looked pretty good for his age. Might have been the Hammer pants.
