George Lopez On George Floyd, Cultural Identity And The Power of Comedy

Comedian, actor, producer George Lopez joins our show to discuss his new Netflix show We'll Do It For Half. In the interview, Jack Rico and Mike Sargent ask Lopez about why he has never worked with Netflix before until now, why Covid-19, George Floyd and Black Lives Matter were not a part of his special, the role and responsibility of comedy and comedians beyond making us laugh, why comedians can make transitions to drama but not dramatic actors to comedy, why America's Mexican has never taken his comedy tour to Mexico City, and his thoughts on if we will ever see a Latino President in the White House. In our news segment, Mike and Jack also converse and debate Goya, the complexity of Hispanic identity, cancel culture, and if the new slate of diverse and inclusive programming is here to stay.
