UPDATE: The jig is up: reps for George Lopez confirmed this was a shtick and Lopez is not seriously considering running for Mayor.
PREVIOUS: Comedian and late-night talk show host George Lopez talked about his political aspirations on Fox11′s Good Day LA this morning. “I intend to run for Mayor of Los Angeles… in 8 years… I want to be Mayor of Los Angeles. If Arnold Schwarzenegger can be governor, why can’t George Lopez be the mayor of Los Angeles.” Jokes involving President Barack Obama and change ensue. Here is the clip:
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

Um, no.
I’m writing the opposition ad right now: “Hello ladies, whaddaya think of a guy who asked his wife for a kidney and then divorced her? How about that guy being Mayor of Los Angeles?”
Okay, I admit, it actually writes itself.
Did you really want a reply?
this guy is the biggest a-hole in town. how he got a show on tv is beyond me and how it’s still on boggles the mind. if anyone does NOT deserve success it’s this guy. he’s a yeller, abusive, and just plain nasty. i worked with him and survived. i can only imagine the poor people working on his show.
Only possible upside? It’d get his show off the air.
Don’t worry, Chris, his show will get off the air on its own – and the sooner the better!
Give your wife back her kidney –
George Lopez To Run For Mayor Of LA… Now THAT is FUNNY!
That’s one of your best jokes George!
PUH-LEEZ spare us with this nonsense.
Your wife gives you half her liver to save your life and you cheat on her with prostitutes. That might, y’know, come up in a campaign.
I find this man self-centered and very sad. his wife donates her kidney to him and he divorces her. Seems she found him screwing prostitutes. And that’s our next mayor?? He’s a jerk!
light news week?
So we are going from a hispanic mayor who cheats on his wife to a hispanic mayor who cheats on his wife. Well fortunately for Lopez the majority of the L.A voters only care about the first part so its likely a lock. Wonder if he will play Low Rider as his song during the inauguration.
he’s more suited to be the janitor of Los Angeles
Wow. A mayor that bugs his eyes and lapses back and forth from English to Spanish.
Could he do a worse job than Villaraigosa? Could anyone?
im sure someone with a rifle won’t let this happen
Completely inappropriate…
After an episode of Conan, I always make sure to immediately change the channel before Lopez comes on. I find what he did to his wife despicable. I wish TBS would tone down the Lopez ads too…
What a delusional stooge. Now his wife, I’d vote for!
agreed, pete. sorry about that. foolish in retrospect. and i should have clarified that i meant that statement in connection with him being probably the worst “celebrity” out there. his late night show humor revolves around jersey shore, twitter, keisha, justin bieber, twilight, and being on tv after conan. he’s just the worst. i did not mean it in any way referring to his race or this country’s hesitance to having a minority in office (as could be misinterpreted, as some of the other replies in this thread have been flat out racist).
my apologies. but he’s awful.
So, how long do you have to stay married to someone after they donate an organ? One year, five years, forever? Would you rather had taken the alleged Robert Blake spin on ’till death do us part?
Acting like a despicable human being in his marriage isn’t what disqualifies him for the job of Mayor. I firmly believe in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
What qualities make him qualified? Bueller… Bueller?
The shocking reality is that there are few requirements and the electorate does not really care. It is mostly a popularity contest.
Wow, just wow. It’s not bad enough that George Lopez plays racial politics on the air as an entertainer (although he is far from entertaining), now he thinks he can run for Mayor of LA on the same platform.
Please. We already have one clown as Mayor. We certainly don’t need another. Hopefully, Lopez realizes that all those illegals in his audience aren’t eligible to vote.
i dont think that thats a good choice cuis your just good at doing
jokes not taking care of a nother thing is not the rite way to go
ispeceiley with lasengilles just not good hope you make the rite choice and those people who may pick him so go and try it without my idvice thats gonna git you no wer your welcome.
you are a sucker for trieng to run mar for al foool
You have to be kidding .. ohh well G-Lo ..
( he is 32% NATIVE American Indian ,55% EUROPEAN ( FRM SPAIN. not Mexican ) , 9% E. ASAIN , & 4% BLACK .
But really , dont lik what he did to his wife after 17+ yrs together ..
BUT look at our NEW Lt Gov Newsom .. he did the same thing . ! & yet a Devoted Catholic ..He kicked his Ex wife to the curb , then married in the catholic Church .
any way good luck Geo . in what ever you do ..
Mayor? No. Czar in DC? Si! Obama, give George a call! Czar of what? Does it matter? Not like any of them do anything.
George Lopez is only on the air because watching him makes white people feel so much better about themselves.
