George Lopez's illustrious and multi-faceted career encompasses television, film, stand-up comedy, and late-night television. Lopez has broken ground for Latino comics by embracing his ethnicity, confronting racial stereotypes, and fighting for his community on and off the stage.
Lopez stars in his multi-camera comedy series for NBC, Lopez vs Lopez, featuring his real-life daughter, Mayan Lopez. The family sitcom, which has been renewed for its second season, follows George and Mayan in a fictionalized version of their real-life father-daughter relationship, exploring dysfunction, reconnection, and all the pain and joy in between.

In 2005, Time named him one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America and the Harris Poll named him one of the Top Ten Favorite Television Personalities. The following year, Lopez received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Used to be good, but now is just an old has-been with old material. Saw him in Las Vegas a few years ago and seemed like he tried hard to be funny. He needs a new writer or something, and he is definitely not as funny as he was maybe 20 years ago. He was so bad, he should consider retiring. He has the name, but not the material.
I laughed so hard I was bent over laughing and crying. Lol... I needed to catch my breath. George killed it, like always. Sooooo good. Cannot wait to rewatch on Amazon.
It was a blessed experience. George Lopez an actor and comedian icon across the board. Super funny. God bless you.
Wonderful show ! Had me laughing the whole time. Looking forward for another show hopefully in the future
We could not stop laughing!!! George Lopez delivered.
We both really enjoy the show we recently watched at Hard Rock in Wheatland. We showed up about 30 minutes after the doors opened and didn’t expect to be entertained with music prior to the show started. The band was very good and sounded awesome. A lot better than canned music we usually get before a show. George Lopez had two very funny opening acts, both very entertaining. Great warm up for the head liner- George. George was very good himself. He was a huge success with the audience, us included. A great time spent with good music, great humor and couple hours of fun entertainment.
George Lopez was on stage for maybe 45 minutes! Its almost like he didn’t even want to be there. He didn’t hype up the crowd and as soon as his 45 minutes were up, he immediately left the stage in a blink of an eye.
George Lopez is hilarious. Definitely worth the money.
Made me laugh so much. He was just as funny as his tv show .
Very fun evening. All the opening acts were really funny. Band performed before comedy show and they were great as well!
