You Bet Your Life - Ramiro G. Gonzales (Part 1)

I recently watched this hilarious episode of You Bet Your Life and have not seen on TV a more socially unaware, awkward, and hilarious individual as Ramiro G. Gonzales. I love this guy! I hope you laugh as hard as I have!
*Breaking News* I just found out this guy is a Hispanic comedic legend. Check it out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Gonzalez-Gonzalez

Look up Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez on Wikipedia :)

@Rumpio Thanks a lot! I had no idea he was a famous comedian!

He was the radio man in "The High and The Mighty" who relayed messages from the crippled plane to the coast guard.

His parents were actors in a traveling tent show in South Texas. He was born in Aguilares Tx where his parents were performing. John Wayne saw this show and signed him up for a seven year contract and his comedic career began. After he passed away his family suggested that Aguilares place a plaque in his name. It might happen.

At the time he did the You Bet Your Life show, he wasn't famous at all. John Wayne saw the show and was so taken by Pedro's appearance that he signed him to a seven year contract, Wayne later extended the contract and Pedro continued working with John Wayne until 1974. Pedro appeared in many of John Wayne's movies, but my favorite would have to be Rio Bravo. .For a guy that couldn't read or write Pedro did pretty good for himself. His wife would read the script to him and he memorized his lines.

Apparently this appearance changed his life - catch the "Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez - Walk of Fame video" on Youtube. He inspired Cuba Gooding Jr and Cheech Marin!
