While continuing to tour, he’s produced 3 uproariously funny comedy specials for HBO, including America’s Mexican, It’s Not Me, It’s You, and Tall, Dark & Chicano.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, George Lopez began working in small clubs and venues around town in his early 20s, as well as appearing in a few low-budget comedy films. Lopez worked his way up for many more years until getting his big break in 2000, when actress Sandra Bullock approached him with a concern over the lack of Hispanic representation on TV. Alongside Bullock, he produced the sitcom George Lopez, a show that followed a fictionalized version of Lopez and all of the hijinks that ensue around his life at work and raising a family. Though the show ended in 2007, it helped to make Lopez a household name. He’s since gone on to appear in countless films and TV shows, host the TBS talk show Lopez Tonight, and star in another sitcom, Lopez, which lasted for 2 seasons. In 2018, the hilarious comedian is back on the road again, both solo and with the Comedy Get Down Tour alongside Cedric the Entertainer, Eddie Griffin, and D.L. Hughley.
