TBS have decided they’ve had enough of George Lopez because they have cancelled his late night talk show, ‘Lopez Tonight’, and it’s all over poor ratings.
It looks like history is repeating itself because Conan O’Brien might be to blame for Lopez’s show failing. You might remember when Jay Leno took the 10 pm slot on NBC he killed Conan’s ratings and now that Conan took the slot before Lopez the ratings have declined.
The first season of ‘Lopez Tonight’ averaged at around 911,000 viewers during the 11pm slot but he then he was bumped to the midnight slot, while Conan took the 11pm slot, for his second season and ratings fell to 543,000. Now he won’t be given a chance to redeem himself for a third season.
In a statement the network says “TBS has reached the difficult decision not to order a third season of Lopez Tonight. Thursday will be the final episode of the show. We are proud to have partnered with George Lopez, who is an immensely talented comedian and entertainer. TBS has valued its partnership with George and appreciates all of his work on behalf of the network, both on and off the air.”
Lopez spoke to People yesterday and instead of talking about the canceling he decided to speak about close friend Sandra Bullock and how she has had an impact on his career.
“If it wasn’t for her involvement in me, or her belief in me, I would have had a very different last 10 years. She invested in me, and she wouldn’t take no for an answer. And with that, and just who she is, she has my undying love, and my undying loyalty, every day I thank her for believing in me. I can only say that I did not have a mother, and I would have very much liked that one to be mine! She’s already my fairy godmother, but any child that gets to be in Sandra Bullock’s arms is going to be a great person.” He said about the actress.
As for his outlook on life he said “I live every day like an 11th grader, not a senior, because then you have to worry about college, but when you’re in 11th grade, you know you’re coming back to the same school with the same friends. So, I try to enjoy myself and live life every day.”
Well if he lives like that then he probably won’t mind the fact that his show has been cancelled. What do you think of this news? Were you a fan of his talk show?
I guess there’s trouble in paradise with former couple George and Ann Lopez. The twosome have filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
The two got married in 1993 and share a 15-year-old daughter named Mayan. In 2004, George was told that he had a genetic condition which caused a deterioration in his kidneys. In 2005, his wife Ann donated one of her kidneys to him to give him “the gift of life.”
The two have just announced that they are divorcing, but intend to keep everything amicable for the sake of their daughter. TMZ reports:
Sources say George and Ann have been working out details of the split “for a long time,” but they’ve both made the decision to end the marriage.
Earlier this year, George was plagued by rumors that he was paying hookers for sex and threesomes. Now that makes me wonder if that was really true.
Good luck to them, at least they’re being adults about it.
The National Enquirer is alleging that funnyman George Lopez cheated on his wife with a professional escort named “Tiffany” and a friend of hers in Tampa Bay.
According to the Enquirer, “Tiffany” said:
“I had sex with George Lopez for money, and so did a friend of mine. He wanted a threesome and texted me . . .”
Considering George Lopez’s wife, Ann Serrano, literally saved his life by giving him one of her kidneys, I really hope that this isn’t true. Lopez is also a dear friend to Sandra Bullock, and has been supporting her through her whole mess with her dickhead husband, Jesse James.
Considering that the source is The National Enquirer, I’ll reserve judgment for now… but they did break the Tiger Woods scandal.

I’m scratching my head a bit over this one, but to hell with it. I will watch Conan O’Brien no matter where he ends up doing his show.
Conan will be starting his new show on TBS in November, airing on Mondays through Thursdays at 11pm Eastern… pushing back George Lopez‘s show to midnight. The conquered has become the conqueror.
“The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I’ll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show.”
In a statement released earlier, Conan stated:
“In three months, I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly.”

With all the drama surrounding Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien it is time to take a look at the most hated comedians of all time and as you guess, Leno is indeed one of these comedians.
Jay Leno:
Why he’s hated: He’s poisonous prune juice.
Jay Leno is the inspiration for this list. He is everything a comedian shouldn’t be. His material hasn’t been funny for years, it’s is dumbed-down for a crowd that doesn’t want be challenged intellectually, and in the brotherhood of comedians, he betrayed his brethren by selling Conan down the river. Jay Leno is the runaway winner on this list.
Jeff Dunham:
Why he’s hated: Racist puppets.
If Jeff Dunham wasn’t a comedian, he would probably be a Klan leader. The man is so racist, and so crude, that anyone laughing at his jokes should be ashamed of themselves. Thankfully Comedy Central mercifully canceled The Jeff Dunham Show after one season. Using puppets to be racist makes everyone overlook that it’s not actually a racist puppet, but a racist comedian with his hand jammed up a puppet’s ass.
Carlos Mencia:
Why he’s hated: He’s a thief.
Not only does he steal jokes from classic comedians but he’s needlessly racist and had no sense of comedic timing whatsoever. Plagiarism and lack of comedic skills leads to him having a television show on Comedy Central. Where he continues to plagiarize and mock every promising comedian on the planet.
Dane Cook:
Why he’s hated: Insufferable prick.
Dane Cook wasn’t always hated. In fact, he was actually liked at one point. He was just catapulted to fame so fast, that he didn’t have nearly enough material to sustain himself as a consistently funny comedian. Instead of telling jokes, he just degraded into becoming the douchiest man in all of comedy. He had one of the worst specials HBO ever aired, and his trademark “superfinger” made everyone want to just give him the regular finger.
Rosie O’Donell:
Why she’s hated: She starts shit with everybody.
It’s one thing to be outspoken, but there is also a breaking point. Rosie O’Donell—while a good comedienne—simply can not stop picking fights. In her time, she has had very public feuds with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Donald Trump, her publisher, Star Jones, and Barbara Walters . Everybody loves a good feud, but at this point, people are growing weary of her antics.
George Lopez:
Why he’s hated: Somehow flipped tired, racist jokes into a career.
George Lopez, if anything, gives hope to people who want to be famous but have absolutely nothing to offer. George Lopez literally brings nothing to the table except jokes about how Latino, black, and white people differ from one another. If you want to see someone be on point about racist issues, just watch Dave Chapelle. In fact, watch Dave Chapelle, then watch George Lopez immediately after. You will see such a large gap in comedic sensibilities that you will become angry. Angry at the fact that not only did George Lopez have a terrible sitcom for 6 years on ABC, but now has a terrible late night talk show. And they’re both successful. There is no justice in this world.
Carrot Top:
Why he’s hated: Stupid props.
It seems that every new moon Carrot Top takes a break from working out to go to The Tonight Show, manically grab props out of a bag, (an ashtray attached to a bottle for redneck moms? HA!) and then promptly recede back to the gym to work on his delts.
Sarah Silverman:
Why she’s hated: She uses crudeness as a crutch.
A lot of people like Sarah Silverman, but she definitely deserves a place on this list. There are plenty of comedians that are cruder, blunter, more disgusting, and funnier than Silverman. Only they will never even sniff the success that Silverman has attained. So why did she become successful and they didn’t? Because she’s Jewish, she’s attractive (but not afraid to wear a wacky mustache in public!), and she says “fuck” a lot while talking about taboo subjects.
Gallagher :
Why he’s hated: He’s the original Carrot Top.
A man who built his reputation on an act that isn’t even remotely funny. His humor was mainly physical, and when he did actually use words to make jokes, they were terrible. Like his famous bit on how T-O-M-B and C-O-M-B are pronounced differently. What a riot!
But what makes Gallagher even worse is how poorly he’s aged. Just check out his recent interview with The Onion’s AV Club. He comes off as jaded, old, bitter, racist, obnoxious, and most of all not funny. This is a man who became famous for smashing watermelons calling the current comedy landscape “mediocre and boring.” That alone right there should merit him a spot on this list.
What comedians do you love and hate? I agree with this list completely because I hate all of these people.

Chola Girl, aka YouTube sensation Glowpinkstah, was on hand last night on Lopez Tonight to give America’s sweetheart a “chola makeover”.
The results were hilarious.
Sandra Bullock came out to see her friend George Lopez looking gorgeous in a black dress, but it didn’t last. George had a special guest waiting for Sandra, a special guest by the name of Chola Girl.
Chola Girl tackled the Bullock makeover with a laid back fury, yanking out Sandra’s ponytail and hair spraying her head into a hard shell before attacking her eyebrows with a Sharpie pen. Mrs. Bullock was quite a sport during the whole thing.
Somehow, she still looked hot.
