José Miguel Monzón, also known as El Gran Wyoming (The Great Wyoming) or Guayo is an actor, director and humorist; he is licensed in Medicine but not an M.D.. He was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1955.

He has been showman of several programs like Silencio se juega (1984), La noche se mueve (1992) and El peor programa de la semana (1993). Televisión Española refused to broadcast this last episode because of an interview with the writer Quim Monzó, in which a joke was made about the laboral activity of Elena de Borbón, the daughter of the King. The official reason given was the low ratings of the program.

In 1995 el Guayo returned to TV, but this time he appeared on private channel 5 Telecinco. The name of the program was Caiga quien caiga. He was firstly critical of Felipe Gonzalez's government and later against the government of that time, the Partido Popular.

In 2004 he obtained another program in Televisión Española: La Azotea de Wyoming. It was not completely successful.

Now he is doing El Intermedio on La Sexta.
