It features memorabilia from Agrelot's extensive media career ; each of the " city's " various buildings are dedicated to a specific Agrelot characterization.

He remained as executive producer for various comedies, particularly those featuring José Miguel Agrelot, and had various other businesses to fall back to, but he had lost the desire to write and produce.

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 ).

At a later time in his life Agrelot would be called " The Puerto Rican Bob Hope " by journalists ( or they could say Bob Hope was the British José Miguel Agrelot ), perhaps because of his stand-up comedic style and media longevity, but his aptitude for physical comedy, straight face for risqué material and physical girth at the time predated-and would be quite comparable with-that of John Belushi's, rather toned-down for the conservative Puerto Rican audiences of the time.

This made Agrelot the second Puerto Rican-born person, after Wilfred Benítez, to earn a world record certified by the Guinness Book of World Records ( The late local children television host Joaquin Montserrat would be the third were he not a native of Barcelona ).

Don Cholito became Agrelot's alter ego, despite his mock protests that Agrelot and Don Cholito were not the same person ( a tactic later used by Sunshine Logroño when referring to his own comedic characters ).

Among the cameos and film roles are those played by José Miguel Agrelot, Nena Rivera, Wilson Torres ( later known for another comedic character named Maneco ), Guillermo José Torres, Enrique Cruz, Antonio Pantojas and others ( Ruth Fernández sings the movie's theme, her trademark song " Gracias, Mundo ").

El Show del Mediodia during that period had different sections which were hosted by many Puerto Rican show business legends, so Monclova had the opportunity to work with Luisito Vigoreaux, " Yoyo Boing ", Jose Miguel Agrelot and others.

Clarissa had a domineering mother, Altagracia ( played by Ana Luisa Agrelot, Jose Miguel Agrelot's sister, and a comedic actress in her own right ), who considered that her daughter was getting too old to get married.

Various parallel stories played out during the episode: the appearance of Clarissa's absent father Clodomiro ( played by José Miguel Agrelot ), who Altagracia deeply resented ; the appearance of Teresa as a poltergeist dressed in a wedding gown, playing pranks at the wedding, and Pepín's indiscreet gossiping being openly resented by his wife, Rebecca.

The 2008 portion of the tour started on April 11, 2008 in San Juan, Puerto Rico at José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum and culminated on July 24, 2008 in Noblesville, Indiana at the Verizon Wireless Music Center.

26-May: Puerto Rico, San Juan-Coliseo de Puerto Rico, José Miguel Agrelot

Carmita Jimenez started her singing career at the young age of six, on the radio show named El Abuelito Welch ( Grandpa Welch ) with another legendary Puerto Rican show business legend, Jose Miguel Agrelot.

Giuseppe Michael Agrelot ( April 21, 1927 – January 28, 2004 ), better known as José Miguel Agrelot, was a comedian, radio and television host and media icon in Puerto Rico.

Agrelot was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico of Italian descent .. His sister Ana Luisa, a teacher, later became a part-time comedic actress as well.

At the time he starred in a few dramatizations of Tarzan, and his Tarzan yell was remarkable enough that sound effect technicians from Metro Goldwyn Mayer visited Puerto Rico and recorded Agrelot doing the yell.

Soon before finishing college Agrelot started what would eventually became the longest running program in Puerto Rican radio history, the morning show " Su ( later Tu ) Alegre Despertar " ( Your Joyful Awakening ).

Agrelot married his wife Yolanda Peña ( whom he occasionally nicknamed " Doña Chola ") in 1949 ; their 55-year marriage was one of the longest among Puerto Rico media personalities.

Agrelot was the spokesperson for the " Liga Puertorriqueña Contra el Cáncer ", the Puerto Rican Cancer League ( his mother was a cancer patient ).

Unbeknownst to Agrelot, Cantinflas ' wife had died of cancer and had never overcome his grief ; he later claimed that Agrelot's invitation was cathartic to him, and he enthusiastically visited Puerto Rico ( his first appearance was highly emotional to both, and had the rare public spectacle of Cantinflas, one of the most renowned comedians in the world, dropping tears on a stage ) and participated in two league telethons.

As fate would have it, when Agrelot died in 2004 he was buried in Carolina, Puerto Rico, just a few meters near Vigoreaux's tomb.

* Don Segismundo, the mayor of Trujillo Bajo, a fictional municipality in Puerto Rico ( Agrelot said once that Segismundo was actually Don Rodríguez y Rodríguez turned public servant )

*" Juan Macana ", a not-very-bright police officer, PRPD badge number 13, 378 who popularized in Puerto Rico a phrase Agrelot constantly heard in Mexico during one of his tours: " Sí, ¿ cómo no?

The Coliseum of Puerto Rico was renamed the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot ( José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum ) in his honor, shortly after he died.

At times he would comment on a serious news item giving a mock political speech ; in quite a few of these his own political views would flare up ( Agrelot was a proud member of the Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico, and would occasionally host some of its public functions ).

Agrelot claimed to have only uttered a single expletive onstage during his entire career ( when a stagehand accidentally dropped a prop on his head during a stage show in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico ), and his comedy style tried not to incorporate vulgarity, but Don Cholito constantly used code words and euphemisms as to not use double entendres in his Encabulla broadcasts.

The José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, officially named Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, is the biggest indoor arena in Puerto Rico dedicated to entertainment.

By the 1960 season the Caguas team was in poor economic shape, and asked Agrelot to attend some games, stand up and dance ( a la Cantinflas ) whenever the song was played ( since Agrelot had spontaneously done it once ), as a crowd booster.

This name did not make sense as a cultural reference, since " cholito ", the diminutive of " cholo " ( a rather common and sometimes derogatory term to refer to the indigenous peoples of Latin America ), could not be associated to Agrelot, in this case.

After José Miguel Agrelot's sudden death in 2004, the remaining co-hosts on Agrelot's long-running radio show " Tu Alegre Despertar ", ( Your Cheerful Wake-Up ), Aurora Previdi and María Falcón, asked the radio audience to select a permanent replacement for Agrelot from a round of temporary co-hosts.

As Secretary of Transportation, he is credited as the driving force behind the $ 2 billion Tren Urbano ( Urban Train ), the Superaqueduct that has resolved metropolitan San Juan's water rationing problems, numerous road construction projects and the construction of the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan.

Agrelot was the constant voice behind the program for over 54 years.

When Agrelot suddenly died in 2004, his remains were taken to the park for a public wake.

Margarito faced Daniel Santos in a rematch on September 11 of the same year at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan for Santos ' WBO Light Middleweight title.

Soon after ( 1962 ) Agrelot was offered a small section within WAPA-TV's variety show, " El Show del Mediodía ", in which he could comment on daily news and events giving them a comic spin.

Agrelot adopted the moniker " Don Cholito ", based on the song he was being associated with.

To differentiate himself from what eventually became a character of its own, Agrelot used a pava ( peasant straw hat ) whenever he was on the air, to represent Don Cholito as an " urban jíbaro ", a Puerto Rican peasant that had moved to the city and was sightly more sophisticated than the average country dweller.

Just over a month later, on September 11, he posted a first round knockout over Arturo Velazquez, at the José Miguel Agrelot coliseum, also in San Juan.

WWC also held an event called Euphoria on the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum on the same date.

Soon after, Agrelot died in his sleep while taking an afternoon nap, on January 28, 2004.

The almost unanimous consensus of most Puerto Ricans was that Agrelot deserved the honor, and the facility was dedicated to him on what would have been his birthday that year.
