George Lopez On Larry King To Talk About Conan, Make Hispanic Jokes

In an act of total selflessness, George Lopez went on Larry King last night to promote Conan’s move to TBS. Conan will take Lopez’s time-slot, bumping Lopez’s 11pm talk show back an hour. (By the way, George Lopez has an 11pm talk show. Now you know.)

If you can look through the ego, self-sanctimony, and efforts to avoid looking like his show was on the verge of being killed, you’ll learn a lot from Lopez. Like how, before the TBS deal, Conan and Lopez have exchanged “calls” and were “cordial” (Read: not friends). Or that, in exchange for personally brokering Conan’s move, TBS will renew The George Lopez Show for another year. (Probably worth it.)

But this is not what you want to hear. What you want to hear is a coldly informative laundry list of all the Hispanic jokes Lopez made during the interview. They are as follows:

“And also, I believe that this combination- almost a same-sex Desi Arnez and Lucille ball, if you will – will take late night into a new generation” (2:02)

“It will change the landscape – Larry, I’m a latino, I know something about landscape…” (2:13)

“My profile has changed – no longer do I get confused with being Erik Estrada, I’m not Paul Rodriquez anymore. I’m George Lopez, Larry. Come on! Jorge, you know!” (3:40)

“And, you know, he’s on earlier. He needs to get done earlier, get out and get some sun. Eventually, I want us to end up being the same color.” (4:57)

“I’m Team Coco and now I’m Team Loco!” (9:20)
