George Lopez said this tonight about Conan O’Brien coming to TBS:
“If you haven’t heard by now, Conan O’Brien will be joining us on late-night on TBS. Welcome!, Welcome! I want to say this, I want to say that I am completely 100% on board with this move. I talked to Conan on Wednesday and I talked to him last night and I said I welcome you into my deep loving embrace. Then I said let’s take the party and make it bigger and take it into the next generation of late-night TV. Lets do that! Lets do that! Lets do that! Everybody’s heard of ‘I’m with CoCo’ but now everybody can ‘Go LoCo’.”
Then George Lopez chatted with Chris Rock about Conan:
George: “I think you’re here on a good night…with Conan coming to TBS…”
Chris: “Conan’s coming? Where are you going?”George: “I’m staying. I’m going to midnight. He’s coming at eleven o’clock and I’m going to midnight.”
Chris: “Get the hell out of here! So you’re gonna move for the white man, huh? I hope he appreciates this.”
George: “I think the white man does appreciate it very much.”Chris: “You don’t gotta clean a park or nothing, right?”
George: “No and I get to go to work an hour later. That’s a Latino dream come true.”





George Lopez just got so much respect from me.
This guy is really breaking new ground with cutting edge jokes like that! Who will he make fun of next? Mexicans?!?
Did Lopez really reference a Mexican slur, and extend it to all latinos? yuk-yuck I almost threw up in my leaf blower.
Let me be the first to say this: this shit is hilarious!
In a world…
…Where salary and ratings and focus groups and A-Listers and sponsors and corporate liquidity mean nothing…
…Conan will provide a damn good show.
And yet, as someone in his core audience, I hope DVR’ing his show gives him ratings, ’cause I love me some Stewart and Colbert, also…
If Chris Rock didn’t have the race card, he’d have no cards at all. Find some new material Chris.
I love George Lopez. I think a lot of people that think he is only for the latino audience are going to LOVE HIM when they meet him after Conan.
I love Conan too… both of them are fresh and funny. It is cool to have someone else besides jay and letterman because their jokes and shows have been the same for years and years and years… more than half a century I guess!!
NOW: for a perfect night, I think we need MONIQUE!!!!
(…well, or the night).
Monique, Conan, Lopez. That’ll be the day!!
Very funny dialogue between Chris Rock and George Lopez. Its ironic that Conan left NBC because he was being asked to move to a midnight time slot and now his coming to TBS is making George Lopez move to a midnight time slot. However this move seems to be an amicable one.
george lopez is no dummy. Conan preceding him will deliver him a bigger audience at midnight than he had at 11pm, I would think. Still, he comes off as a class act. And I can’t wait for Conan….
Think Ink- I totally agree, this is a no-lose situation for Lopez.
connan was not cool with bumping lopez from 11 it was actually one of the only problems he had with comming to TBS. however lopez himself called connan and told him that everything was fine and he did not have a problem with moving to 12… also fox and connan had been in serious talks with one another however fox did not want to let connan own his own show. as does letterman on CBS… this is what made connan eventually just go to TBS because they had not problem letting him own it..
i think go loco is great
Where have you people been? G-Lo has been around for a VERY long time and has always been hilarious. I guess most of you were not allowed to watch his stand up due to wetness behind the ears. I say put Coco on at midnight, I’m too old to stay up that late. The 11pm time slot for George was perfect for me. Besides, I never liked O’Brien’s kind of humor, I never found him to be funny at all. I’m not watching!!
I agree with Indrid Cold. All Chris Rock does is make White jokes! I think he may actually be racist b/c that’s all you ever hear come out his mouth.. Hey Chris, make a new “funny” ’cause you’re NOT! and Conan has been around way longer than George Lopez anyway! It only makes sense that he’d take his place. I’m so excited about Conan tonight! Good luck Conan and good luck George! and Chris.. go stick your thumb up your butt..!
