Guillermo Rodriguez

Rodriguez was made an honorary citizen of Dildo through the Newfoundland tradition of "screeching in," on August 15, 2019 during Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Rodriguez often sets out to interview famous celebrities. Some of his subjects do not know who he is, which the show uses for humorous interplay. Rodriguez regularly appears at the NBA Finals to interview players. At the 2015 Finals, he called out to LeBron James as James was practicing. James ignored Rodriguez, who had a meter counting how many times the name "LeBron" would be called before James acknowledged his presence.

Rodriguez was born in Zacatecas, Mexico. He became a permanent, nightly cast-member on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after performing in comedy segments written for the show. His broken English coupled with his affability and Teddy Bear-like quality have earned him a high-profile supporting role as a personality on the show. Guillermo took over main red-carpet interviewing duties in 2011 from the late "Uncle Frank" Potenza, whom he was often paired with for the show's comedic skits.

Rodriguez appeared as a special guest on the last episode of Univision telenovela Eva Luna on April 11, 2011. In 2017, he had a brief uncredited role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as a policeman, which he revealed in a video on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in April 2017.
