George Lopez’s illustrious and multi-faceted career encompasses television, film, stand-up comedy, and late-night television. Lopez has broken ground for Latino comics by embracing his ethnicity, confronting racial stereotypes, and fighting for his community on and off the stage.
Lopez stars in and executive produces his multi-camera comedy series for NBC, Lopez vs Lopez, featuring his real-life daughter, Mayan Lopez. The family sitcom, recently renewed for its third season, stars father and daughter in a fictionalized version of their real-life relationship, exploring dysfunction, reconnection, and all the pain and joy in between.
Lopez joined the DC Extended Universe, starring in the Warner Bros. Latin superhero
film, Blue Beetle. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto and featuring a predominantly Latino
cast, the film follows its first ever Mexican American teenager turned superhero. The
movie received nominations for Best Superhero Film at the 2024 Saturn Awards and for Best Superhero Movie at the 2024 Critics Choice Super Awards. Lopez can also be
seen in Snoop Dogg’s Amazon MGM sports comedy, The Underdoggs, and in the
independent holiday comedy How the Gringo Stole Christmas, directed by Angel
Gracia.
Lopez released the third installment of his middle-grade novel series, Chupacarter and
the Screaming Sombrero this March. He is currently performing stand-up across the
country on his Comedy Tour.
Lopez has four HBO specials: The Wall (2017), It’s Not Me, It’s You (2012), Tall, Dark
and Chicano (2009), which was nominated for a Best Comedy Album Grammy Award,
and America's Mexican (2007). His acclaimed comedy concert, Why You Crying?, debuted on Showtime in 2004. He released his third stand-up CD, El Mas Chingon, in 2006, earning another Grammy nomination. In 2004, he was nominated for his first Grammy in the same category for Team Leader.
On television, Lopez produced and starred in Lopez, a semi-autobiographical single
camera sitcom for two seasons on TV Land. The series explored his struggle between
two worlds and the crises that are often of his own making. In 2014, Lopez co-created
and starred in the multi-camera ensemble comedy Saint George for FX. He hosted
TBS’ inaugural late night talk show, Lopez Tonight, for two seasons, marking Lopez's
return to series television after co-creating, writing, producing and starring in Warner
Bros. Television's groundbreaking hit sitcom George Lopez, which ran for six seasons
on ABC. The show remains a hit with viewers on both broadcast stations and cable TV’s Nick at Nite, ranking as one of the top-rated shows on the network.
Lopez’s extensive film credits include Walking with Herb opposite Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell, IFC Films’ modern-day Western No Man’s Land, The Tax
Collector with Shia LaBeouf, El Chicano alongside Raúl Castillo, Aimee Garcia and
Emilio Rivera, the romantic comedy box-office hit Valentine's Day, The Spy Next
Door with Jackie Chan, and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. He starred in
and produced the inspirational drama, Spare Parts, based on a true story about four
undocumented Mexican American teens who team up to build a robot for a national
competition. An icon and advocate for Latino representation, Lopez was the focus of
the award-winning documentary Brown is the New Green: George Lopez and the
American Dream, as he struggles to stand for Latinos in a manner true to their realities
and aspirations.
Lopez has lent his voice to a string of animated blockbuster films including Gnome
Alone, Escape from Planet Earth, as well as the Rio, Smurfs, Beverly Hills
Chihuahua, and Cats & Dogs franchises.
In May 2004, Lopez’s autobiography, Why You Crying?, entered The New York
Times Bestseller Top 20 List. The book was co-written by Emmy-winning writer and
sportscaster Armen Keteyian. Lopez released his second memoir in 2013, I’m
Not Gonna Lie And Other Lies You Tell When You Turn 50, in which he shares the
unabashed and hilarious truth about aging – as only he can.
In 2005, Time named him one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America and the
Harris Poll named him one of the Top Ten Favorite Television Personalities. The
following year, Lopez received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
