he’s not funny at all. his sitcom sucked. this will suck. why is he famous?
Loved his show! One funny man! Can’t wait to watch!
TBS???? come on!!!!!!
yeah! I adore his humor! His show was brilliant! I look forward to seeing what he has to offer…I watch reruns of his sitcom every night before I fall asleep so I have something pleasant on the brain.
i’m on the fence. sometimes he’s hilarious, sometimes he’s way too stereotypical. there’s room for him on tbs though, let the man entertain
America, PREPARE TO BE ANNOYED!
This should be good. Lopez is hilarious. Bout time a Latino got a talk show. Figures it wouldn’t be on one of the big Caucasian networks. People like Josh can’t handle comedy that doesn’t involve insulting minorities only.
This man has already been given ample chance to prove he’s not funny. Since the cancellation of his sitcom, he’s also proven he’s a racist! This will be cancelled faster than the Chevy Chase Show.
