Guillermo Rodriguez Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Initially when Guillermo was offered to work onscreen for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he turned down the offer since he was shy. Guillermo later accepted and first appeared in the segment Security Night Live. He soon moved to act skits on the show.
Guillermo’s broken English, combined with his affability and teddy bear-like personality, has earned him a prominent supporting role as a personality on the show.
Rodriguez’s character on the show is usually the Everyman. Guillermo took over the main red-carpet interview duties after Potenza died of natural causes in 2011.
Rodriguez’s signature segment is “Guillermo’s Hollywood Roundup,” in which he makes fun of entertainment news shows by dressing up as a cowboy and pretending to twirl a special effect operated lasso.
Outside the theater, next to his West Coast Customs-built “Guillermobile,” he responds to Kimmel’s questions about the latest tabloid stories by taking a rack of magazines that the “Guillermobile” has been outfitted with and attempting to interpret the stories in an amusing and mistranslated manner.
