While I was watching a rerun of Chico and the Man there was a bit part character I knew but couldn’t name. From my hazy 70’s memory I think he did ads for Doritos and possibly was part of a comedy team. He looked a little like Gene Shalite (sp) only a little pudgier.  
I predict the correct answer will be found before this post is viewed 12 times. Cuz you all such smart people. 🙂
