Compayito

Compayito is the title character of the Oobi el Compayito skits and segments on Televisa. He is a Mexican talking hand puppet. He debuted sometime in late 2003; in his first appearance, he was named Oobi and meant to be a one-time character. This name was a reference to an American show that Edson Zúñiga had watched earlier in the year. In 2004, Compayito was brought back under the name La Mano con Ojos (meaning "the Hand with Eyes"). He has since become known as El Compayito, sometimes shortened to El Compaye. His former names are still sometimes used, albeit rarely.
