Florentino José Fernández Román (born 9 November 1972 in Madrid), better known as Florentino Fernández or, simply, Flo, is a Spanish comedian,[citation needed] actor, TV host and showman.

He worked as a security guard before taking part in TV shows like Esta noche cruzamos el Mississippi or La sonrisa del pelícano with Pepe Navarro, where he impersonated Chiquito de la Calzada and created new characters based on this Spanish comedian such as Lucas Grijánder or Krispín Klander.

He went on working in TV programs like El informal as a conductor; 7 vidas, as an actor; or El club de la comedia, as a monologist.

He dubbed Mike Myers to Spanish in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Austin Powers in Goldmember and he performed in the theatre show "5hombres.com" as a monologist.

As an actor, he made his first appearances in films like El oro de Moscú or Una de zombis, he made some cameos in films like Torrente 2 and Torrente 3 and he had a leading role with Santiago Segura, in Isi/Disi, Amor a lo Bestia.

He started to work with another comedian, Josema Yuste, in 2007 first in the play Una pareja de miedo and later in the sketch comedy series ¿Y ahora que?[1]

On 13 May 2010 he became the conductor of the comedy program Tonterías las justas on Cuatro. The program ended on 1 July 2011 due to economical disagreements but it had a spiritual sequel from August 2011 to 2012 in Neox called Otra movida.[2] In February 2013 he started another program of humor and news, Así nos va, in La Sexta.
