Guillermo
Guillermo, credited as Guillermo Rodriguez, is a parking lot Security Guard turned talk show personality born January 27, 1972 in Mexico. He rose to fame while working as a parking lot Security Guard at the El Capitan Theatre for American late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, quickly becoming a permanent, nightly cast-member after performing satisfactorily in comedy bits written by the show. Guillermo's oft-amusing broken English (characterized most clearly with his constant pronunciation of the show's host as "Yim-ee") coupled with his near-universal likability and Teddy Bear quality earned him one of, if not the highest, profile of any supporting personalities on the show. Guillermo even has taken over main red-carpet interviewing duties from Kimmel's original go-to for such events, "Uncle Frank" Potenza.
Guillermo's signature bit is something known as "Guillermo's Hollywood Roundup", in which Guillermo, dressed in a cowboy outfit and pretending to twirl a special effect operated lasso, makes mockery of Entertainment news shows featured widely on television. From outside the theater and standing next to his West Coast Customs-made "Guillermobile", he'll answer inquries directed at him from Kimmel about the latest tabloid stories by simply taking a rack of tabloid magazines that the Guillermobile has been fitted with and attempting to interpret the stories in usually an unintentionally and amusingly mis-translated way.
Another popular and recurring bit is announcing that Guillermo has a role in a current or recent Major Motion Picture release and "showing a clip" of an at-first familiar trailer for said movie with Guillermo humorously edited in, his appearance often made-up to resemble a character in the movie. He has recently been featured in a segment where he asks "The World's Fattest Man" (Manuel Uribe) one random (and usually pointless) question.
Quirks about Guillermo commonly brought up include his mustache and his love for Angelina Jolie.
