JIMMY MARTINEZ - old school standup from the 70s era

He was GREAT!!! He appeared for a couple of seconds in Blazing Saddles, too. He's hopefully alive and well!

I remember Jimmy. He was in a band with my parents.

Nice to see this. Recently, I've been watching When Things Were Rotten, the 1975 Mel Brooks' series that lasted all of 13 episodes. Hadn't seen the show since it originally aired. Martinez appeared in a few of the episodes as a peasant named Sylvester. Got me to wondering whatever became of the guy.

What are the odds this guys still around? I wonder what became of him!

Thank you for posting this. Anyone know what became of Jimmy Martinez? It's hard to find out now that there is another comic with the same name. It's also hard to watch this without thinking of Fred Armisen's 'Ay Dios Mio' character that he brought to SNL.
