George Lopez featured in Brown is the New Green on KERA Wednesday - Dallas, Texas

“But long before George ever had his show, he knew exactly how he wanted to rep us all on the small screen. Back in the early 90s when he was appearing quite frequently at the Comedy Club in Addison, this Latina had decided she was going to be a writer and her first “celebrity” interview was going to be with a rising Latino star.

George graciously agreed to be my first interview. Throughout the hour and a half sitting in the lobby of his hotel that was near the club, and in between the off-the-cuff jokes he was cracking about Addison (it was the 90s), he talked about having his own show. “It’s not going to be a show about Latinos; it’s going to be a show about an American family who happens to be Latino,” I remember him saying a few times.”
