Writer-comedian Bill Dana, whose character Jose Jimenez
had a very successful career on records and in nightclubs
following its creation on The Steve Allen Show, brought
him to life for this series. Jose was a Mexican immigrant who
worked as a bellhop at the Park Central Hotel. Not only did
he work there, it was practically his entire world: he lived
in special bachelor quarters provided for hotel employees,
ate in the hotel kitchen, and had social contact only with
employees and guests of the hotel. In his goodhearted
naivete he saw only the good in the people around him.
His biggest problems were his fellow bellhop Eddie, who
was constantly trying to get him to wise up; the less-
than-understanding hotel manager Mr. Phillips; and
the not-too-brillant hotel detective Byron Glick.
