Which of these comedians portrayed the character José Jiménez?

José Jiménez was a fictional character created and performed by comedian Bill Dana on "The Steve Allen Show" in 1959 and who became increasingly popular during the 1960s. This character introduced himself with the catch phrase: "My name...José Jiménez". Dana played José in three non-variety shows: "Make Room for Daddy", which spun off "The Bill Dana Show", and a cameo in an episode of "Batman".

William Szathmary (October 5, 1924 – June 15, 2017), known as Bill Dana, was an American comedian, actor, and screenwriter. He often appeared on television shows such as "The Ed Sullivan Show", frequently in the guise of a heavily accented Bolivian character named José Jiménez. Dana often portrayed the Jiménez character as an astronaut.

Dana's career took a major turn when he began writing stand-up routines for the young comedian Don Adams (including the now well-known "Would you believe?" jokes later popularized by "Get Smart" (1965)). From there, he was brought in as a writer for "The Steve Allen Show", where he created the José Jiménez character for the show's Man in the Street segments.

Dana had several comedy albums but only one that strictly featured the Jose Jimenez character. One of the cuts; "The Astronaut (Part 1 & 2)"...an interview from news reporter, writer and producer Don Hinkley...made it to the "Billboard" Top 40 charts at #19 in September 1961.
