Description

Cowritten by Emmy Awardwinning writer and sportscaster Armen Keteyian, the darkly funny narrative of Why You Crying riffs on the importance of family, the stark, often hysterical differences between Chicano and gringo culture, and the inspirational message that anybody can become Somebody. Read it and weep!

When George Lopez gives a comic performance, theres not a dry eye or empty seat in the house, and for six years, millions of viewers tuned in to get their weekly G-Lo fix with ABCs The George Lopez Show. Now, George is back, and hes made the switch from prime-time family guy to late-night talk show host. Lopez Tonight combines Georges irreverent and very opinionated humor with spontaneous celebrity interactions to create a party of a show; with George, the audience knows the conversation will be high-energy, low-formality, and 100 percent unpredictable.

But while he can make his audiences cry with laughter, Lopezs own lifebefore becoming one of Americas most popular Latino personalitieswas anything but funny. Abandoned by his California migrant-worker father at the tender age of two months and deserted by his own mother at the age of ten years, Lopez was raised by grandparents who viewed love as a different four-letter word.

Co-written by Emmy Award-winning writer and sportscaster Armen Keteyian, the darkly funny narrative of Why You Crying riffs on the importance of family, the stark, often hysterical differences between Chicano and gringo culture, and the inspirational message that anybody can become Somebody. Read it and weep!
