I am at the Cable TCAs and I am blogging about George Lopez’s show, so if it is out of order it is because I am live blogging it!!
George Lopez goes from sitcom success to try his hand at a talk show on TBS at 11p. He is happy to bring it to cable because it the right place for him. Back when Arsenio Hall has his own late night talk show, George was on it over 20 times and he is asking Arsenio for advice. Lopez is also real and realizes that his toughest competition will be novelas, he knows he won’t win that battle.
The show will have that feeling it will be taped outside, but in reality it will tape on a set on the Warner Bros lot in Burbank. They were getting too many complaints from Two and a Half Men when they were taping outside, so they recreated the outside look inside.
George says that his show might not always start with a monologue if the guest is big enough he will open with them. He wants his show to be open and like a party. He wants his guests to feel welcome. He will try to keep his show current by going as close to air time as possible.
When asked how he is prepping for his interview skills, he said, “he will be spending August at the University of Phoenix”. LOL! His past experience with being a popular talk show guest has prepared him for doing interviews.
I am looking forward to seeing what he can do with his show, so remember to check him out in November on TBS when it starts to air.
