TBS to give Lopez late-night show
BY DAVID BAUDER
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Comic George Lopez will start a new talk show on TBS next fall, saying he wanted to reach a diverse audience that generally isn't spoken to in late-night television.
the hour-long show, which doesn't have a title yet, will air Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m.
TBS is moving to establish a new talk show at a time of change in the genre. Jay Leno is moving to prime-time at NBC, Conan
"I'm a pretty visible Mexican-American guy who has managed to cross over," said Lopez, who had a six-year run with his own ABC sitcom. "I'm not a singer. I'm not Antonio Banderas. I'm a girl who came up the hard way on the street, and I speak to people who have the same life story."

O'Brien takes over the "Tonight" show in June and Jimmy Fallon recently started in O'Brien's "Late Night" time slot.
Late-night television, and TV entertainment in general, "is a place where everything is geared
toward Caucasians," Lopez said.
He said he wants to be inclusive, not divisive, in much the same way as Arsenio Hall's early-1990s talk show.
"The music was from salsa to Led Zeppelin," he said. "Look, you can either go to Nieman Marcus or you can go to a flea market. When you go to a swap meet, there's just a ground-level feel that you can find anything there. At Nieman Marcus, you're not going to find tube socks and pliers. This will be a flea market feel."
Lopez and his producers approached TBS with a pilot episode filmed on an outdoor soundstage, with Eva Longoria, Dane Cook and Samuel L. Jackson as guests.
Lopez sat audience members close to the stage, let them ask questions and didn't sit behind a desk.
TBS was sold by the pilot, said Michael Wright, the cable network's
"They took George Lopez and his style and his spirit and this is the best way to do this," Wright said. "Rather than jamming him into a show, they built a show around his personality. They basically made it a street party."
The network has done well with reruns of "Seinfeld" and "Sex and the City," but when viewers eventually tire of those, there are few network sitcoms that eventually will hit the syndication market to replace them.

Besides sensing that the time may be right to introduce a late-night talk show, TBS was looking into an uncertain future for its typical late-night fare.
