George Lopez To Get His Own Talk Show

Back in the day WTBS was a place for Atlanta Braves baseball and "wrastlin.".

Now as TBS, the channel is quickly becoming a foundation for niche minority programs.

Following the success of Tyler Perry's shows (even though I don't watch them), here comes George Lopez to add some Latino flavor.

Beginning in November, Lopez will host an L.A. based talk show which will air Monday through Thursday nights at 11 p.m.

Like Arsenio Hall, who broke ground as the first was African American to host a late night show 90's , Lopez will be the first Latin American to host a late night program on mainstream television.

While some people may scoff at George Lopez hosting a show, the man is funny and like Hall, has the genuine likability factor that should cut across many demographics.
