First Jimmy Fallon. Now George Lopez.

Comedian George Lopez will have his own late-night talkshow on TBS starting in November.

Featuring celebrity guests, and musical and standup perfs, the as-yet-untitled project comes from 2.2 Prods., paraMedia Inc. and Telepictures Prods., in association with Warner Horizon TV.

The gabber will run Mondays through Thursdays each week on TBS starting at 11 p.m. each night.

Lopez will exec produce along with Jim Paratore.

At least George Lopez can do stand-up. Fallon's monologue is brutal. Great interviewer.

All that said, I doubt it will last.

I watched Fallon for the first time last night, and he is completely awkward during his monologue. It's really bad. And watching him right after watching Leno makes it even worse...but of course, Leno has been doing this for many many years.

this should be interesting. his sitcom was funny at times.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – George Lopez's new late-night talk show drew 3.2 million viewers during its cross-network premiere on TNT, TBS and TruTv.

Having the debut on three networks skews the ratings, but the isolated TBS number is still a strong figure for 11 p.m. on a cable network. Lopez was seen by 1.7 million viewers on TBS, 1 million of whom were adults 18-49.

That's higher than the current season averages (though not the premieres) of the adult-demographic draws for talk shows like CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson," ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart." Using the combined three-network number, the show was sampled by more adult-demo viewers than Conan O'Brien or David Letterman's average.

TBS typically airs off-net repeats like "My Name Is Earl" in the slot. "Lopez Tonight" drew about a 70 percent higher household rating than the network's usual fare among total viewers. It doesn't hold a candle, however, to the performance of some of the shows that air during earlier time periods on the network -- for example, the network's Tyler Perry comedies.

Lopez's opening night featured guests Ellen DeGeneres, Eva Longoria Parker, Kobe Bryant and Carlos Santana.

i cant stand Lopez. his comedy specials are brutally unfunny. he's better then Mencia, but only in the same way that having a testicle removed with a hammer is better then having a testicle removed with a chainsaw. that said, i probably won't be watching.

I just watch Lopez's opening monologue at times, don't care for the guests unless their interesting.
