<P> Fez's host parents, Matthew (Kevin Farley) and Rebecca Erdman (Shannon Holt) appear only in one episode, "Drive In". </P> <P> Fez's secret country of origin is one of the longest running gags on the show . Through all eight seasons, Fez's nationality remains a mystery, even to his closest friends, and the continual hints and clues Fez drops about his country only leave them more confused . In the episode "Eric's Birthday," Kitty, fantasizing about Eric's friends causing trouble, imagines Fez saying, "in my home country of...wherever it is I'm from; I can never tell ..." Much is revealed in the episode "Love of My Life," where one of Fez's compatriots (played by Justin Long) comes for a visit . In the first teaser, when his friend suggests that he goes home, he says "Yes, I will go to Brazil...and then catch a flight home ." In the final teaser, when Hyde finally asks them, "Where the hell are you guys from?", his friend says that the name depends on whether you ask the British or the Dutch . But the British won't say it, Fez explains, because they hate the island, and no one understands a word the Dutch say . The friend has a heavy English accent; Fez's explanation to this is that his friend is from the west side of the island . We also see throughout the show that Fez almost says where he is from but then stops right before he says it . </P> <P> Fez is often assumed to be of Hispanic or Latino descent; it is never revealed if this is so, though earlier episodes, such as "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," imply he can speak Spanish . In "Eric's Burger Job," during a job interview at Fatso Burger, Fez claims he can speak Dutch . In "The Immigrant Song," Fez retells his catch phrase ("I said good day!") in his native tongue, which sounds like gibberish . </P> <P> Initially burdened by cultural barriers, Fez is fascinated by American life and thinks the knowledge he gains from America makes him superior to other people from his island . In an early episode, he suggests he would one day return to his home country "and rule with an iron fist ." Fez is openly regarded as weird by his friends . He exhibits a creepy side, which manifests itself in Fez spying on Kelso and Eric when they are making out with their girlfriends (with Kelso even allowing him to do so). More than once he is caught hiding in Donna's closet, and towards the end of the series she doesn't even bother to kick him out because it happens so much . He frequently complains about being lonely and love - starved . </P>
