Giuseppe Michael Agrelot (April 21, 1927 – January 28, 2004), also known as José Miguel Agrelot or Don Cholito,〔Agrelot, José M., and LaTorre, Jossy, ''Encabuya y Vuelve y Tira''(autobiography), 2005〕 was a comedian, radio and television host in Puerto Rico. ==Biography== Agrelot was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico of Italian descent.〔(Biografia de Jose Miguel Agrelot ), El Nuevo Día, January 29, 2004〕〔(Biografías: José Miguel Agrelot ), (Fundación Nacional para la Cultura Popular )〕 He was the third of four children by Felipe Agrelot and Ana Luisa Vilá; his sister Ana Luisa, a teacher, later became a part-time comedic actress as well. He started working on radio stations when he was 14. At that time, he was employed by radio impresario Tomás Muñiz, then the general manager of WIAC-AM and the father of later producer and actor Tommy Muñiz. During this period Agrelot developed his first comedic character, ''Torito Fuertes'', the mischievous eight-year-old of a family comedy show sponsored by Borden, Inc. and its evaporated milk (the name Torito Fuertes was a pun on "strong calf", a desirable consequence of drinking good milk). The character later took a life of his own on a radio show first named ''El Profesor Colgate'' (sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive's flagship toothpaste) and later called ''El Colegio de la Alegría'' (''The School of Joy''). This program featured Tommy Muñiz as the schoolteacher of a rather dysfunctional classroom. Apart from appearances in numerous commercials, Agrelot's credits in Puerto Rican television included: *''La Criada Malcriada'' (''The Rude Maid'') *''El Especial de Corona'' (''The Corona Special'') *''Desafiando a los Genios'' (''Challenging The Geniuses''), a personal favorite of Pablo Casals *''Haciendo Historia'' (''Making History'') *''El Show del Mediodia'' (''The Midday show'', as ''Don Cholito'', another legendary character of his) *''Parece Increible'' (''It Seems Incredible'') *''Ja ja, Ji ji, Jo jo con Agrelot'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「José Miguel Agrelot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
