Hey, someone's coming! Must be "the Lone Ranger", with Jay Silverheels as Tonto. I have no idea how an Indian got a name that means "idiot" in Spanish. However, I still like the joke that the LR (Clayton Moore acting the role) and Tonto broke up because the LR finally found out what "Kemosabe" meant.
There was also a Far Side comic where the Lone Ranger, obviously in his 80s or 90s and long retired, reads a dictionary and finds the definition as "a horse's behind."
Best joke was probably that Tonto actually called him "Que no sabe" all that time. (Very loosely translates to "Know Nothing".)
In the Lone Ranger movie, Tonto (Johnny Depp) tells the LR (Armie Hammer) that it means "wrong brother," since Hammer's character took up the role when his brother died.

In one Indian language, "kemo sabe" meant "soggy shrub." In two of them, it meant "white shirt." I think he was being called "white shirt."

Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull

Sounds like Arte Johnson on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in.
