Comedian George Lopez will host a new talk show on cable channel TBS next fall with hopes of reaching a diverse audience not generally found watching late-night TV, the Associated Press reports.
“I’m a pretty visible Mexican-American guy who has managed to cross over,” said Lopez, who had a six-year run with his own self-titled ABC sitcom. “I’m not a singer. I’m not Antonio Banderas. I’m a guy who came up the hard way on the street, and I speak to people who have the same life story.”
Lopez, 47, and his producers approached TBS with the idea and the hope to change late-night television which, he says “is a place where everything is geared to Caucasians.”
