Dish Network welcomes Gorge Lopez to Late Night

With all the negative controversy surrounding late night talk shows like the David Letterman show on CBS, TBS will be giving another great comedian George Lopez a chance to help boost there late night ratings with his own talk show “Lopez Tonight”.

Lopez who has been doing comedy for years, and even had his own sitcom on ABC the George Lopez show is excited about the opportunity to be able to entertain fans on a nightly basis. He knows doing a late night talk show puts you up against some of the biggest names in TV like Jay Leno, Letterman, and Conan O’Brien. But with his show filling in at the 11 pm slot Monday thru Thursday he should be able to show viewers just how funny he can be.

This will be Lopez first regular show since his sitcom was canceled in 2007, which he still doesn’t understand why. The George Lopez show that had good ratings was canceled for a new comedy called Cavemen that only lasted 13 episodes. But like many in show business he moved on to other projects including going to the big screen and appearing in the movies Swing Vote, and Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

With so much time to come up with new material for his own talk show Lopez is excited about finally being able to interview fellow celebrities while at the same time making America laugh. The show debuts Nov 9 at 11pm on TBS.
