Seriously? OMG! WTF?

So, you know how Ellen DeGeneres announced that she was retiring from standup after her Netflix comedy special? Well, today, George Lopez announced the same thing.

The comedian tells Tamron Hall (via Deadline) that he has retired from standup and his Prime Video is his swan song. “I’ve subjected the American people to enough of my crap,” he told the host. “It seems like the right time; it’s been the one thing that has just never left me my whole life and it’s a wonderful place to leave it at this particular point.”

What does he plan to do with all of that extra time? He plans to spend it with his daughter and Lopez vs Lopez co-star, Mayan.

I love that they did not have the best relationship when she was growing up. But now he is making up for lost time.

George Lopez has been growing out his hair for a while. So, when he was on KTLA this past Friday, Dayna Devon decided to give the comedian his first man bun.

Do you know what? He actually looks good with it. In fact, I think he should wear his hair like that on Lopez vs Lopez, which is back on NBC on October 18th.

If watching him on your television is not enough, he has eight standup dates on the West Coast between September 14th and November 16th.

He who laughs last laughs best. And NBC saved their sitcoms’ fate for last.

Today, the network made a decision on the future of their three comedies.

Lopez vs. Lopez, the show is loosely based on George Lopez and his daughter Mayan’s fractured relationship which is on the mend, will be back for a third season.

Sadly, Extended Family, with Jon Cryer and Abigal Spencer as exes trying to figure out how to live as divorced parents to their children, will not be back for a second season. EF also starred Donald Faison as Spencer’s fiancé.

And that cancellation made room for Happy’s Place, starring Reba McEntire.

Bobbie (McEntire) inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.

The series has her reuniting with her Reba co-star Melissa Peterman and EP Kevin Abbott.

NBC will announce their 2024-2025 schedule on Monday.

Tonight at 8p on NBC, it is time for the 1-hour season finale of Lopez vs Lopez. Just when you think that George Lopez can’t sink any lower, he finds a way to do it.

In the first episode, the Lopezes venture to the Church for confessions. But George tricks the Priest out of the confessional and takes his seat.

Josué (Jaime Camil), George’s ex-wife’s fianceé, goes first. George is hoping to get something he can use against him so that he can win Rosie (Selenis Leyva) back.

However, she doesn’t want to go back to him because he was a drunk, cheated on her, and he’s very selfish.

Mayan, George’s daughter, feels the same way as her mom. So imagine how he feels when he hears her say all of these things about him.  He gets so upset that he winds up exposing him. As soon as he exits the confessional, the family all turn on him.

Mayan calls her therapist (Tisha Campbell) for an emergency session at her house, and she gives them an assignment. They all get to beat up a pinata of George. And this is the funniest scene of the series.

Once they get through that, it is time for the second episode. Chance (Brice Gonzalez) wants his parents to get married.

However, Mayan doesn’t want to get married because her dad ruined the concept of marriage for her. Even though she doesn’t want to do it, her boyfriend Quinten (Matt Shively) wants to make it official. He has had a ring in his pocket ever since Mayan told him she was pregnant. Will he finally be able to give her that ring?

You need to tune in for a really heartfelt hour of television. There needs to be more shows like this one, and I hope NBC brings it back for a third season.

Lopez vs Lopez is back on NBC tonight with two new episodes, and they are both funny. Along with the laughs, we see a fractured family grow and slowly become a united one.

In the first episode, George (Geroge Lopez) realizes he still has feelings for his ex-wife, Rosie (Selenis Leyva). However, she has moved on with the sexy Josué (Janie Camil). And George is depressed that he can’t get her back.

So much so that he is still not over it in the second episode at 8:30p.

When his daughter, Mayan (Mayan Lopez), tries to get him to do his job as a mover, he doesn’t want to do it. Not only that, the lady of the house (Lisa Rinna) is flirting with him, and he doesn’t even care.

That is until he realizes he can make Rosie jealous at their family dinner with Lisa. And he is not the only man competing for Rosie’s affection. So are Josué and her grandson, Chance (Brice Gonzalez).

What could go wrong with three men all vying for the same woman? A lot! And that is what makes it so hilarious. Plus, Gonzalez is the cutest child actor on television! So tune in for a sitcom that is heavy on the comedy.
