Legendary Comedian George Lopez Sets Premiere Date for Upcoming and Final Comedy Special

George Lopez: Muy Católico will premiere February 18 on Prime Video

Culver City, CA - January 22, 2024 - Today, Prime Video announced the premiere date for George Lopez: Muy Católico. The one-hour special will premiere on February 18 on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. In an interview last year, Lopez announced that Muy Católico will be his last stand-up special.

In Muy Católico, which was shot live from the Dolby Theatre last year, George Lopez brings his reflections on aging, Latino family dynamics, and cultural quirks in his final stand-up special. He hilariously embraces the challenges of getting older and touches on generational clashes and Latino superstitions. Bold and personal, Lopez delivers his comedic voice to stories that capture both the humor and heart of his journey one last time.

Lopez's illustrious and multi-faceted career encompasses television, film, stand-up comedy, and late-night television. Lopez has broken ground for Latino comics by embracing his ethnicity, confronting racial stereotypes, and fighting for his community on and off the stage. In 2024, TIME Magazine selected George as one of their 2024 Latino Leaders.

He stars in and executive produces his multi-camera comedy series for NBC, Lopez vs Lopez, featuring his real-life daughter, Mayan Lopez. The family sitcom, recently renewed for its third season, stars father and daughter in a fictionalized version of their real-life relationship, exploring dysfunction, reconnection, and all the pain and joy in between.

Lopez has four HBO specials: 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 acclaimed comedy concert, Why You Crying?, debuted on Showtime in 2004. He released his third stand-up CD, El Mas Chingon, in 2006, earning another Grammy nomination. In 2004, he was nominated for his first Grammy in the same category for Team Leader. His most recent special, We'll Do It for Half, released on Netflix in 2020.

On television, Lopez produced and starred in Lopez, a semi-autobiographical single camera sitcom for two seasons on TV Land. The series explored his struggle between two worlds and the crises that are often of his own making. In 2014, Lopez co-created and starred in the multi-camera ensemble comedy Saint George for FX. He hosted TBS' inaugural late night talk show, Lopez Tonight, for two seasons, marking Lopez's return to series television after co-creating, writing, producing and starring in Warner Bros. Television's groundbreaking hit sitcom George Lopez, which ran for six seasons on ABC. The show remains a hit with viewers on both broadcast stations and cable TV's Nick at Nite, ranking as one of the top-rated shows on the network.

Lopez joined the DC Extended Universe last summer, starring in the Warner Bros. Latin superhero film, Blue Beetle. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto and featuring a predominantly Latino cast, the film follows its first ever Mexican American teenager turned superhero. The movie received nominations for Best Superhero Film at the 2024 Saturn Awards and for Best Superhero Movie at the 2024 Critics Choice Super Awards. Lopez can also be seen in Snoop Dogg's Amazon MGM Studios sports comedy, The Underdoggs, and in the independent holiday comedy How the Gringo Stole Christmas, directed by Angel Gracia.

The special is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Travieso Productions.
