On television, aside from the ABC sitcom, Lopez has starred in ‘The Naked Brothers Band’, ‘Saint George’, and ‘Lopez’ among many others.

Trailer

Right from the beginning, the trailer for ‘George Lopez: We’ll Do It For Half’ makes it clear that the subject of the special is race. Lopez says in the trailer that he loves Latinx folks all across the world, even if he doesn’t know them. He says they have one simple rule: “You f*** with one bean [a pejorative word for Latinx people, especially of Mexican origin], you f*** with the whole burrito!”



 

‘George Lopez: We’ll Do It For Half’ looks profane, it’s loud, and it promises to be hilarious, as the comic recounts stories of his parents, his grandmother and other family members.
