November 9, 2009 Recap & Highlights
Hundreds of rabid, screaming fans were ready to party as George hit the stage for the very first episode of "Lopez Tonight." George opened the show with what he does best -- some killer standup.
Then, Ellen DeGeneres -- apparently awakened by the loud party next-door -- made a surprise visit to drop off George's mail, which was accidentally delivered to her and included a really embarrassing personal item.
Next up was the audience game that everyone will be talking about.
Afterwards, George welcomed an "allegedly" blonde Eva Longoria Parker. After the two friends caught up, George convinced Eva to make good on a promise she made during the "Lopez Tonight" pilot... to dance on a stripper pole. And Eva wasn't the only one to work the pole...
Next up was Kobe Bryant, who explained why his trash-talking skills are a cut above the rest of the NBA. George opened the floor to audience questions, which included an ambush from teammate Derek Fisher, who totally stumped Kobe with his question.
The show closed with a mind-blowing performance of "Oye Como Va" and "The World is Rated X" by rock legend Carlos Santana (or as George calls him: "The Supernatural").

dude, eva longoria struck out with that wig., she looked "faked". but having carlos santana at the end of the show was a home run. i love the monologue. a mix of spanish and english is refreshing and very funny. you have to be quick to get the jokes. my husband and i saw you at the warfield in san francisco a couple of years ago and back then i was thinking it would be nice to see you on late night tv. my dream has come true i was trying to figure out why i had stopped watching late night and now i know why. we needed color, flavor, spice, pasion, calor, and you(hot mexican).VIVA LA RAZA!!!!!
