TBS Sets November Launch for New Late-Night Talk Show

ATLANTA: Lopez Tonight, a new late-night talk show presented by actor and comedian George Lopez, will debut on TBS on November 9 at 11 p.m.

Lopez Tonight will include guests from the areas of entertainment, sports, pop culture and politics. The show will incorporate lots of music and audience interaction, bringing in more of a "street-party feel." Lopez commented: "It’s time to get back to the kind of show that is fun for everybody to watch."

He added: "There are enough heavy things going on every day that you should be able to sit down late at night, have a drink, relax and enjoy a party on television. This is also going to be a place that includes everyone. There’s a natural energy with everybody being there."

Musical director, keyboardist and composer Michael Bearden will serve as band leader for the show, which is from 2.2 Productions, paraMedia Inc. and Telepictures Productions.
