Susa Y Epifanio

Susa Y Epifanio

Epifanio González Villamil is a fictional character (played by Puerto Rican comedian, special education teacher, choreographer and dancer Víctor Alicea), who, along with his on-again, off-again partner, Jesusa Cruz Avilés (played by Puerto Rican singer and comedienne Carmen Nydia Velázquez) have appeared in popular radio and television programs in Puerto Rico for close to twenty years. Susa y Epifanio have enjoyed sustained popularity in the island country regardless of the media format and program format their interpreters have had to adopt through the years. They currently appear on the radio program "Prende El Fogón" which airs weekdays at noon (AST) on WSKN-AM in San Juan, and on "El Fogón TV", aired on weekdays at 5:00 PM (AST) on WORO-TV in Carolina. They also make frequent personal appearances all through Puerto Rico.

Carmen Nydia Velázquez is quick to remind people of the existence of her namesake, Nydia Velázquez, a Puerto Rico-born congresswoman for the Lower East Side section of New York City. The two are not directly related.
