George Lopez has done a lot in his long career. But now, with NBC’s Lopez vs Lopez, George knows what’s most important “is the people you get to be around and get to talk to.” One of those people includes his daughter, Mayan Lopez, who he created the show with. The two play fictionalized versions of themselves as they rekindle their estranged relationship both in the show and in real life. “Everything came very difficult to me, and I think everything’s meant to be.” One thing he never expected to be is the rare example of a Latin American success story on network TV. “When I sat at my grandmother’s house and I saw I Love Lucy and Chico and the Man, I never really thought that I would be that guy.” But now that he is that guy, thanks to the success of this series, his stand-up and his popular first self-titled series, George knows what connects him to his audience. “You don’t want to forget people have real lives, and if for some reason they find you and you give them comfort, and if you can make them laugh, that at the end of the day [is what matters].”
