Biography

edit

In 1976, he met Millán Salcedo and Fernando Conde at the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático, where the idea of forming the trio Martes y Trece emerged, which was realized in 1979. Fernando Conde later left the group, leaving Josema and Millán as a duo. He has participated in Spanish cinema, with various film works.

In 1988, he co-hosted the New Year's Eve gala and the countdown on La 1 of Televisión Española (TVE) alongside Millán Salcedo. Between 1989 and 1997, they hosted the New Year's Eve special on the same channel, leading in audience ratings. The only exception was in 1993 when they were replaced by Los Morancos—the duo Cruz y Raya hosted the subsequent gala—after Josema and Millán's resignation.

He has also played roles in theater. On television, he worked on the series Todos los hombres sois iguales, a comedy aired by Telecinco based on the film of the same name, where he plays a divorced man living with two other divorced friends, and in the series Mediterráneo.

In 1992, he lent his voice to the character of the Genie in the Spanish dub of the Disney movie Aladdin.[1] In 2002, he collaborated again with the company to voice B.E.N. in the movie Treasure Planet.

In 2003, he voiced another character in a new Disney classic, Brother Bear (Hermano Oso), specifically one of the charismatic moose brothers named Tuke. The other is dubbed by his colleague José Mota.

On February 18, 2004, the gala 'El Camino de Santiago, calle mayor de Europa' was recorded by Televisión Española at the Teatro Principal de Burgos, which was broadcast by the first channel of that station on April 13 of that year. Its presenters were Anne Igartiburu and Josema Yuste.

In 2007, he presented Por fin has llegado, on TVE, a humor program based on improvisation.

In 2008, he worked with Florentino Fernández on the play Una pareja de miedo, an adaptation of the play El misterio de Ira Vamp, and also on the Christmas Eve special of 2008 that aired on La 1 of Televisión Española. On April 16, 2009, the two comedians premiered the weekly program ¿Y ahora qué?.

He has a daughter and two sons, the youngest of whom is 27 years old, named Jaime.

He was part of the comedy duo Josema y Flo. In the 2011-12 season, he competed on the program Tu cara me suena on Antena 3.

On December 24, 2011, he hosted the Christmas Eve special Nochegüena News on TVE. He played Asun in the program Señoras que... (Antena 3). On December 31, 2012, he hosted the New Year's Eve special Hotel 13 estrellas, 12 uvas.

In 2019, he participated in the New Year's Eve special organized by José Mota, where he appeared alongside his former "Martes y Trece" partner, Millán Salcedo.
