Career
Lopez did stand-up comedy around Los Angeles and the rest of the U.S. for many years before he became well-known in Los Angeles because he hosted a popular morning radio show on 92.3 FM in the 1990s. He was the first Latino to be the main show on an English-language station in Los Angeles during the morning drive time. He made several comedy albums, the first of which came out in 1996 and was called "Alien Nation." In 2000, Sandra Bullock asked Lopez if she would produce and star in a sitcom. Bullock was worried that there weren't enough comedies about Latinos. In 2002, ABC picked up the series "George Lopez," making him one of the few Latinos to be the star of a TV sitcom. From 2002 to 2007, "George Lopez" was on TV. Nick at Night showed "George Lopez" during the 2007-2008 season. At the end of its sixth season, the show was taken off the air.
Lopez was in charge of making the HBO Films drama "Real Women Have Curves," which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Audience Award in 2002.
Lopez was on HBO's hit show "Inside the NFL" during the 2003–2004 football season.
In 2005, Lopez had his first stand-up show on Showtime. "George Lopez: Why You Crying" was the name of the show. After that, there were more cable specials, such as "America's Mexican" and "Tall, Dark, and Chicano."
Lopez was in "The Spy Next Door" in 2010. Lopez has also been in the movies "Beverly Hills Chihuahua," "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2," "Rio," "Rio 2," Smurf movies, and a number of others. He has been a guest star on a number of TV shows, including Reno 911! where he played the mayor of Reno, Nevada in 2008. He has also been on "The Zoo," "Real Rob," and "Harley Quinn."
In November 2009, George's late-night talk show, "Lopez Tonight," debuted on TBS. After its second season, which ended in August 2011, the show was canceled. In March 2014, FX showed the first episode of "Saint George." In June of that year, the show was stopped. In March 2016, the TV Land sitcom "Lopez" had its first episode.

"We'll Do It For Half," his comedy special, came out on Netflix in the year 2020. In the special, Lopez makes fun of the idea of making Carlos Slim Helu, who is the richest person in Mexico, the first Latino President of the United States. He talks about how conservatives didn't think Barack Obama was born in the United States and says, "You know, if Slim needed a birth certificate, I know some guys in McArthur Park where you can get the right paperwork."
Personal Life
In 1993, George Lopez and Ann Serrano got married. In 1996, their daughter Mayan was born. In November 2010, Lopez said that he and his wife were no longer together. In July 2011, they were no longer married.
In early 2014, when Lopez was on Howard Stern, he said that he used to be worth more than $50 million, but that he lost half of it in his divorce.
Lopez was told in April 2004 that he needed a kidney transplant because he was born with a genetic condition that made his kidneys fail. In 2005, one of his wife Ann's kidneys was given to Lopez.
On July 1, 2020, Lopez talked about the time the Secret Service came to talk to him because one of his jokes was seen as a possible threat to the president. After the U.S. ordered the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani earlier in 2020, it came out that an Iranian official was said to have put a big bounty on President Trump. Lopez said, "Let's do it for half," as a joke. The Secret Service came because of that. Lopez said that they had printed out everything he had said about Trump on social media.
