José Manuel DÃaz Márquez (September 27, 1936 â€" January 5, 2013)
was a Venezuelan actor and comedian in television and film. Born in
Barbacoas, Aragua, he was the younger brother of the singer and
composer Simón DÃaz. He played professionally under the name
Joselo.Initially, Joselo tried to emulate his older brother, although
the ease of doing jokes about the daily life of the Venezuelan people
set the course of his artistic career.Joselo debuted on the popular
sitcom Radio Rochela in 1959, aired by Radio Caracas Televisión,
until it agreed on a long-term arrangement to keep him at the network
by making him producer of his own weekly show, El Show de Joselo
(1964â€"1972, 1981), which later was broadcast on Venevisión and was
renamed Humor con Joselo (1973â€"1980, 1984â€"1993).For nearly three
decades, Joselo developed a significant number of characters in his
weekly sitcom, effectively creating stereotypes and popular codes,
conveniently remodeled and refined, achieving a deep approach to the
lower and middle classes. Among his most popular characters are El
Pavo Lucas, Madam Cosmetic, El Adeco y el Copeyano, El Dr. ChimbÃn,
El Mendigo, El Doctor Pensamos, El Viejito de la Marabunta, El
Licenciado Esparragoza and El Roquero.
