It's about time...Chicanos on late night! George Lopez's new late night talk show premiered November 9th on TBS with guests Eva Longoria Parker, Kobe Bryant and Carlos Santana. George's unique setup - outside on the WB lot - gave the show an interesting backdrop. "GLo" is the logo for the show's main background and George's band is the band from the "This Is It" Michael Jackson tour. George did the usual jokes about his family in the first episode, but as the week progressed he moved into current events. The third episode had the largest number of viewers at 2 million! Of the 2 million 33% were Latino and 24% African Americans - he also took the ratings having the youngest crowd of all the late night shows.
The later episodes included guest appearances from Queen Latifah, Slash, Charlie Sheen, Larry David, Jamie Foxx and Marc Anthony. The guests are really making the show worth watching as George works out the kinks such as the delivery of some of the jokes and some of the awkward skits.
Regardless of what needs to be worked out, this is George Lopez! With his own show! And trust me, I will be supporting because he's the only host that can call stupid people what they deserved to be called - cabrones!
