The pioneering comic – his ABC sitcom was among the few to showcase Latinos – will make San Antonio's AT&T Center his stage for his live HBO special “Tall, Dark and Chicano” on Aug. 8.
In recognition of Lopez choosing the Alamo City as the site for the taping of his latest comedy special, we've counted down our top GLo moments. Here's why we think Lopez truly is El Más Chingón (cue “Low Rider” song):
When the “George Lopez” show premiered on ABC in 2002, it made Lopez only the fourth Latino to helm a sitcom. The show, executive produced by actress Sandra Bullock, depicted a middle-class Latino family, something rarely seen on mainstream television before or since.
After Lopez underwent kidney transplant surgery in 2005, he brought attention to kidney disease by working it into a storyline on his sitcom and by promoting organ donation awareness on his Web site.
