It's official - George Lopez is one of the most influential Latino/a comedians of all time! This past Saturday, Lopez's "Tall, Dark & Chicano" aired live on HBO; the second time HBO has hosted a Lopez show! I did have the chance to check out Lopez's sold-out San Antonio performance, and as usual he delivered! Hysterical and insightful as always, Lopez had that AT&T Center rolling! He started off the evening giving a huge shout-out to our new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor! This really set the tone for the more political of all his stand-up shows, really focusing on the growing Latino vote that no politican can ignore anymore. As usual, of course, he talked about his childhood, relationships, stereotypes, and Chicano slang, coining the new Latina/o/Chicana/o text message shortcut - "ADM" instead of "OMG" - "Ay Dios Mio."
This performance was really great, but I will always love "Why You Crying?" the best - as the jokes are fresh and his acting out various characters pee-your-pants crazy! But as with anything GLo does - I will support him, because let's be real - Lopez is the best stand-up comic out there and always represents for LA RAZA!
