For the past few weeks, TBS has been putting the hard sell on its upcoming foray into Late Night TV, called Lopez Tonight, and starring George Lopez, famous comedian whose main focus is his Mexican-American heritage. (Not to be confused with Carlos Mencia, who is an unfunny, joke stealing pr*ck.) Even though the show is more than a month away, TBS has been airing nonstop promotions during its hour-long Seinfeld/Office/The Mummy 2 marathons.
But what makes these promotions Powerpoint Tire Screeching Sound Effects is that they star our very own American President, Barack Obama. That’s right: President Obama has now publicly endorsed George Lopez. Witness after the jump …

The New York Daily News is reporting that Jay Leno had himself a little trouble at LA’s Laugh Factory recently. Here’s the backstory: In January, George Lopez had gone on the radio and called Jay a “backstabber” and “the biggest two-faced dude in TV.” Jay wanted to sit down and talk with George to work things out. And he thought he had found his chance to make amends at the Laugh Factory. Seeing Lopez from across the room, he went up and began apologizing. Except he hadn’t approached George Lopez. He had approached Paul Rodriguez. Oops. Said Paul to the Daily News:
“He said, ‘Listen, maybe you and I should sit down and work this out,’” Rodriguez recalled when we phoned him yesterday. “He said, ‘We shouldn’t be airing this stuff in public.’ He was going on like that. At first, I thought he was putting me on. Finally, I said, ‘Jay, It’s Paul! I’m not George! I’m the other Beatle.’
“Jay apologized. He said, ‘I’m sorry. I don’t have my contacts in.’ I said, ‘Hey, it’s understandable. We Mexicans all look alike.”
No worries, Jay. We understand too. Without your contacts how are you supposed to recognize one hispanic from another? And really, I have the same problem with white folks–which is weird because I’m white. But I just can’t tell my people apart. Point being, I sympathise. So to help Jay recognize hispanic celebs in the future, I have created a handy Hispanic reference guide for him.
THE MAIN PLAYERS
George Lopez
This is the guy who hates you. He has a sitcom on ABC, which you don’t watch because you have trouble keeping the characters straight when you’re not wearing your contacts. Also, it’s not funny. You can recognize George because anytime you see him he’ll be scowling at you.
Paul Rodriguez
This is the man you mistook for George Lopez, which is weird because you spent decades touring comedy clubs with him. Your families know each other. Plus you loved him in Whoopee Boys. You can recognize Paul because he’ll be the one pretending not to be deeply offended by your mistake in the hopes of staying on your good side and eventually being invited onto The Tonight Show.
