Who is Ann’s ex-husband George Lopez?
George Lopez was born in Los Angeles, California, on 23 April 1961 – his zodiac sign is Taurus, he is of Hispanic ethnicity, and holds American nationality. He’s an actor and a comedian, perhaps known best for starring in his eponymous sitcom, and hosting his own late night show “Lopez Tonight”, which aired on TBS between 2009 and 2011.
George was abandoned by both of his parents before his 10th birthday, leaving his maternal grandmother to care for him. In 1979, he matriculated from San Fernando High School, and soon started performing as a stand-up comedian.
In 2000, George was approached by the actress Sandra Bullock, who invited him to produce a sitcom in which he would be the main star.
At the time, she was concerned about the lack of sitcoms with Hispanic stars, which weren’t exclusively about the Hispanic community. The series was picked up by ABC in 2002, and George became one of the few Latinos to star in a comedy TV series. Following the series’ cancellation in 2007, he criticized the president of ABC, claiming that his decision to cancel the show was racially motivated.
In November 2009, George started hosting his own late night talk show entitled “Lopez Tonight” on TBS, Monday through Thursday. In November the following year, the show was moved to midnight Eastern Time, to accommodate a new talk show hosted by the comedian Conan O’Brien.
Although Conan was initially reluctant to accept the offer to change Lopez’s show’s timeslot, George convinced him that it was the right idea, and even advocated for him, making the situation widely different from Conan’s previous conflict, that saw him depart from NBC after “Tonight Show with Conan O’Brian” was pushed to accommodate Jay Leno’s talk show. However, after TBS refused to renew “Lopez Tonight” for its third season, George stated that he regretted his decision to accept the time change of his show.
In 2014, George starred in his own sitcom entitled “Saint George”, which aired on FX for only one season. Through his career, he’s made numerous appearances in movies, such as “Naughty or Nice” (2004), “The Spy Next Door” (2010) and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2” (2011).
He has hosted the Latin Grammy Awards twice, and once co-hosted the Emmy Awards.
George is known to be a charitable person, who devotes a lot of his time to uplift the Hispanic community in the US. He heads his own charity foundation, which he established with his ex-wife. In 2004, he was named the Honorary Major of Los Angeles for his efforts to raise money for people who were affected by earthquakes in Guatemala and El Salvador.
George is 60 years old, He has short gray hair and brown eyes, is 5ft 10ins (1.78m) tall, and weighs around 167lbs (76kgs).
As of September 2021, his net worth is estimated at more than $45 million.
