George Lopez is retiring from stand-up comedy, but fans have one final special to look forward to.
From Prime Video, George Lopez: Muy Católico (Very Catholic), recorded last September at the famed Los Angeles venue, the Dolby Theater, will premiere on February 18. Across one hour, Lopez will share his reflections on aging, Latino family dynamics, and cultural quirks. He also embraces the challenges of getting older and touches on generational clashes and Latino superstitions.
“It is the last one. I’ve subjected the American people to enough of my crap. It seems like the right time; it’s been the one thing that has just never left me my whole life and it’s a wonderful place to leave it at this particular point,” Lopez told Tamron Hall about his decision to retire.
Viewers can continue to watch Lopez and his real-life daughter Mayan Lopez, who you can see on the right-hand side of the photo above, in the NBC comedy Lopez Vs. Lopez, which is currently in its third season. The duo plays father and daughter in the multi-cam series that explores a fictionalized version of their relationship which they co-created alongside Debby Wolfe.
George Lopez previously released 4 HBO comedy specials including The Wall (2017), It’s Not Me, It’s You (2012), Tall, Dark and Chicano (2009), which was nominated for a Best Comedy Album Grammy Award, and America’s Mexican (2007). His comedy concert, Why You Crying? from Showtime was released in 2004. His most recent special, We’ll Do It for Half, was released on Netflix in 2020.
The special is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Travieso Productions.
