"My name is José Jiménez ...

The talented but no longer active comedian Bill Dana as José Jiménez on the Ed Sullivan Show. Immortalized in the book and movie, "The Right Stuff", about the American Test Pilot and NASA Mercury programs.

Dana was born (1924) from a Hungarian-Jewish family as William Szathmary but his broad Jiménez shtick was an early casualty of the reaction against ethnic stereotyping.
