Guillermo Rodriguez Bio 

Guillermo Rodriguez was born in Zacatecas Mexico, on the 27th of January 1971. He moved to the United States in 2003 and at the time worked a few menial jobs just to get by. First, he worked as a waiter at a hotel and also worked as a parking lot guard at Hollywood’s Boulevard. According to him, whilst working these odd jobs, he recalled that his daily routine started off at 6 a.m to 2:30 pm for his first job, while his second job began at 4 p.m till 12 a.m. This meant that he practically had no vacation or extensive personal time for things like relaxing or socialization.

Luck would smile on him in the same year(2003) after he was brought in as a comic relief on one of the episodes of the Live! Due to his bulky looks, and broken English, paired with his overall likable and funny personality, that episode was a massive success prompting the producers to consider giving him a long-running role as a supporting cast on the show. When he started, he would still work as a parking lot guard as well as a cast on the show but with time he couldn’t keep up with both so he stuck with his new found job which no doubt brought him the fame and fortune he only dreamed about. By the year 2005, he had gotten his green papers which made him a bonafide citizen of the United States.

With his job as a sidekick and correspondent for Jimmel Kimmel Live! on the red carpet, he has been able to get more time for himself and become more financially buoyant. According to him, he gets 8 weeks off yearly and also gets paid no matter what, whether he is still on the show or off due to royalties.

Also, he got the opportunity to interview a lot of celebrities on the red carpet including models and top basketball players. Interestingly, his interviews carried a funny tone because his interviewees most times had no idea who he was at the time neither did they know that he was a correspondent for Jimmy. This was done to get the most honest reaction from stars who thought he was just some unknown TV correspondent.
