George Lopez, a new late night TBS television show broke the Latino barrier and as he announced the day of his first televised show, “The revolution has begun!” on November 9th 2009.
The first Latino to ever have a late night show where he could openly express himself and make comedy out of world events with a dialogue Hispanics and minorities could understand. Pride was present in Lopez's face and on many Latinos living in the United States. “We made it,” he says.
The audience is mostly Latinos, blacks and Asians. Unity and the fight for equality in this country is present in the Lopez Tonight audience.
The language barrier is breaking as well, because George expresses himself and jokes in the Spanish language, which is rarely done in English television live broadcast shows. Lopez might just open many doors for Latinos in this country which have long been waiting for.
A Boston Herald reader wrote: "I watched tonight for two reasons -- to see how Mr. Lopez performed and to watch history. Imagine (finally) -- a network giving the keys to the kingdom to a Latino talk show host. Generations have been waiting. We were not disappointed."
Lopez has had and will continue having many interesting invitees to his show, such as; Eva Longoria, all supporting and proud of the accomplishment of Lopez and understanding the struggle it has taken for a Latino to get recognized.
Everybody that has come to his show has expressed the good feeling and wants to be part of making history. As we all know, making it in the entertainment industry is tough now as a Latino/a it is a much more difficult task to accomplish; for that reason is why this is a big deal for Hispanics and other races which have been discriminated over the years along with Latinos.
Lopez Tonight is all about comedy, music, and information and of course ethnicity, and the most important point is to entertain. A very inspirational individual, George Lopez, has become because if he makes fun of his own tragedies in life, makes us all realize how humor cures many mind and body aches.
Laughter is the cure for racial discrimination? Is this true? Perhaps by accepting our differences and laughing about them in public will make us all acknowledge our many differences; such as in customs, bodies, nationalities and color.
Lopez Tonight makes funny questions, for instance, when the interviewer asks questions to people in the streets as per what people suppose or demographics articulate about each ethnicity, will the African American admit he’s been in fault? Will the Hispanic man admit to driving inside a car with more than eight or more people clutch in a car? Will the Asian man admit to having a small penis? Will the toothless white man admit to using the “N” word? Hee-larious!
A Mexican-American raised by a sadistic grandmother coming from a barrio accomplished to open the door of the entertainment industry for Latinos. Can you imagine what you can accomplish!
New Lopez Tonight late night show is opening the door to Latino entertainers!
