Jaime Reyes Santos (born October 8, 1951), better known as Jimmy Santos, is a Filipino actor, comedian, TV host and a former professional basketball player.
Before he entered showbiz, he became one of the "starting five" players of Jose Rizal College Heavy Bombers in which they had won a 1972 NCAA Championship together with Philip Cezar and David Cezar. He would later play for the U/tex Weavers in the commercial league MICAA, the PBA's forerunner.
Santos also played 13 games in the PBA's inaugural season (1975) for the 7-Up Uncolas.
In the featured Old-timers game during the 1991 PBA All-Star week, Santos was named MVP for his late-game heroics coupled with some funny antics, leading his White team over the Blue team.
Santos started in the 1970s in the Philippine television series Iskul Bukol and in the film Little Christmas Tree. He became antagonists in his movies and later became a regular host in the noon-time television variety show Eat Bulaga!.
In 2011, Santos started doing projects on ABS-CBN and Star Cinema films The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time.
He finished Banking and Finance at the Jose Rizal College.
