George Lopez: Much of Lopez's comedy is based on his experiences in childhood, and that of the Mexican-American community in general. He was greatly influenced by comedian Richard Pryor. He has released four albums of recorded stand-up comedy shows, the first of which was Alien Nation in 1996, as well as Right Now Right Now and Team Leader, which was nominated for a 2004 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.[6] He released El Más Chingón in September 2006. On television, Lopez has appeared on The Latin Kings of Comedy, where he was a guest star along with other top Latino stand-up comedians. His first stand-up comedy special, George Lopez Why You Crying? premiered on Showtime. His second special, America's Mexican, was broadcast live on HBO on February 24, 2007; his third special, Tall, Dark, and Chicano, was broadcast live on HBO from the AT&T Center in San Antonio on August 8, 2009. Lopez also starred in the 2008 film Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Lopez had made his mark as a comedian by performing at several clubs around the country and making appearances on television shows and comedy specials by the late 1980s. In the 1990s, Lopez made the transition to films with comedies such as Ski Patrol (1990) and Fatal Instinct (1993). Despite his growing television career, Lopez continued to perform his stand-up comedy and recorded several comedy albums. He has headlined at various venues: The Don Haskins in El Paso, Las Vegas Hilton, Foxwoods Casino, ARCO Arena in Sacramento, the Town Hall in New York, the Shoreline Amphitheatre in San Francisco, Next Stage in Dallas, AT&T Center in San Antonio, Save Mart Center in Fresno, CA, San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego,CA, Dodge Theater in Phoenix, San Jose State University Events Center in San Jose, CA, The Rosemont Theatre in Chicago, and has performed for the President at the historic Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.
