GEORGE LOPEZ

There were constant reminders this past week, when major entertainment companies hawked their wares to advertisers in Manhattan presentations, of the diminished role of broadcast networks.

During a week in mid-May, broadcast television networks traditionally unveil their fall plans in flashy presentations before advertisers in New York.

Actor-comedian George Lopez is launching a new series — of books.

Comedian George Lopez reportedly fell ill in the middle of a New Year’s Eve performance, forcing him to cut the show short and cancel a performance later in the evening.

Get ready to laugh, South Florida. Grammy-nominated comedian, actor, and TV host George Lopez is bringing his “OMG Hi! Comedy Tour” to Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood on Friday, Nov. 19 at 8 p.m.

Miami's latest restaurant openings include Adrienne Calvo's Forte in Coral Gables, Benh Mi on South Beach, and a delivery-only concept from comedian George Lopez.

Public relations firms hired by the Department of Health and Human Services vetted the political views of hundreds of celebrities, including Aguilera, Lopez, and Black, for a health education advertising campaign on the coronavirus outbreak. That's according to documents released Thursday by a House committee.

Director Judd Apatow believes Trump “does not have the intellectual capacity to run as president,” according to a list of more than 200 celebrities compiled by one of the firms. “I have ordered a strategic review of this public health education campaign that will be led by our top public health and communications experts to determine whether the campaign serves important public health purposes,” Azar told the subcommittee, which is investigating the federal government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak. Because public health policy around the coronavirus pandemic has become so politically polarized, it’s unclear how well a confidence-building campaign from the government would play. And Trump has alienated much of the medical establishment with his dismissive comments about basic public health measures, such as wearing masks. Antony and Quaid were among just a few celebrities who were approved for the campaign, according to the documents.

Yes, Biden did say “George,” which some social media users concluded was a reference to former President George W. Bush. Biden and his wife, Jill, were being interviewed by actor and comedian George Lopez during the virtual “I Will Vote” concert Sunday. The full video, which Biden tweeted, shows the former vice president was being interviewed by actor George Lopez as part of a virtual concert being held in support of the Democratic candidate by the Biden Victory Fund. “WATCH: Joe Biden confuses President Trump with George Bush,” the Trump War Room, one of the official Trump campaign Twitter accounts, tweeted Sunday night. “Joe Biden called me George yesterday,” he said.

Comedian George Lopez has come under fire for leaving an inappropriate comment on an Instagram post about President Trump. The pop culture Instagram account Chicano World Star posted erroneous claims that Iran had an $80 million bounty on Mr. Trump. The short comment received nearly 800 replies in less than 24 hours, and Lopez started trending on another social media platform, Twitter. When a media outlet share an erroneous claim that there as an $80 million bounty on Trump's head, Lopez said "we'll do it for half." @ChicanoWorldStar/InstagramAside from perpetuating violence against the president, Lopez, 58, also perpetuated a rumor.
