George Lopez calls himself “America’s Mexican.” It’s somewhat schtick—but also a proud identity—that he has used since the start of his stand-up career. And one that has served him well. Lopez has received several Grammy nominations in the Best Comedy Album category.
He’s taken his dual identity and insightful and hysterical observations about said identity and spun a successful career that spans more than just the stage. Lopez spent six top-rated seasons on the WB with his namesake TV show and co-starred in hit movies like Valentine’s Day. He’s also put pen to paper and released his New York Times bestselling autobiography Why Are You Crying? in 2004, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006 and was named one of Time’s 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America. He continues his reign when he performs Sept. 3-4.
