About the Lopez Tonight Show

It's time for a change in late night -- and there's no better man to lead the revolution than George Lopez -- the hilarious, authentic everyman of today's entertainment scene. Starting Monday, November 9, 2009, George is ditching the desk, tossing the cue cards and bringing the party back to late night.

With LOPEZ TONIGHT George Lopez will bring his high-energy, opinionated, irreverent and very funny comedy to late night on TBS. This 60-minute program will break out of the pack and re-energize late-night as we know it. From the show's debut and on, George's monologue is sure to drive next-morning water cooler conversation at offices everywhere.

LOPEZ TONIGHT will feature a fun, high energy format, with lots of audience interaction. Viewers will be swept into a spontaneous street party, with George playing the consummate host. When "the people's comic" is in the house, anything can and will happen! Expect the unexpected. The show will showcase George's spontaneous interactions with the celebrities America knows and loves, and introduce the best fresh new faces. With George, the audience knows the conversation will be casual, fun and above all - unpredictable.

LOPEZ TONIGHT is the perfect stage for George, who worked his way up from obscurity to comedy superstardom the old fashioned way: going city to city doing standup comedy. Because of his passion for comedy and music, George will use the show to showcase the biggest names of today and tomorrow, along with America's favorite sports stars, politicians and more.

For every man - and every woman - LOPEZ TONIGHT on TBS is about to change the way everyone defines great late-night television.

About George Lopez

George Lopez is a multitalented entertainer whose career encompasses television, film, stand-up comedy, and now, late-night television. Lopez most recently announced his exciting foray into the late night arena, in which he will headline a brand new late night talk show for TBS. Lopez Tonight will air Monday through Thursday nights and is set to debut on November 9, 2009. Lopez will also serve as Executive Producer.

In August, Lopez will film his second HBO Comedy special: Tall Dark and Chicano. His first HBO Comedy Special, America's Mexican, aired in 2007.

Also in August, Lopez will film Valentine's Day directed by Gary Marshall. The movie is an ensemble comedy also starring Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Bradley Cooper, Shirley MacLaine, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, and Jessica Alba.

Lopez will next be seen starring opposite Jackie Chan in The Spy Next Door, out in theatres on January 29, 2010.

Lopez most recently starred in Mr. Troop Mom with Jane Lynch for Nick at Nite. The film, which premiered on June 19th, was the channels highest rated original movie premiere since March of 2007, and is now available on DVD. In addition, Lopez recently lent his voice to the live action Walt Disney Pictures' blockbuster film Beverly Hills Chihuahua opposite Drew Barrymore. Directed by Raja Gosnell, the film chronicles the adventures of a pampered Beverly Hills Chihuahua named Chloe (voiced by Barrymore) who gets lost while on vacation in Mexico and must rely on her friends to help her get back home. George is the voice of "Papi", a macho romantic Chihuahua who will do anything for the love of Chloe. The film also features the voices of Andy Garcia, Salma Hayek, Placido Domingo and Edward James Olmos.

Earlier this year, George co-starred in Swing Vote opposite Kevin Costner, Dennis Hopper, Nathan Lane, Kelsey Grammer and Stanley Tucci.

The book was co-written by Emmy®-winning writer and sportscaster Armen Keteyian. His success led Lopez to be the focus of the award-winning documentary Brown is the New Green: George Lopez and the American Dream.

Lopez created Warner Bros Television's groundbreaking hit sitcom, George Lopez, which he co-created, wrote, produced and starred. The show ran for six seasons on ABC. George Lopez remains a huge success in syndication on both broadcast stations and cable's Nick At Nite, quickly becoming the cable network's highest rated program.
