George Lopez is out of a job.
The Hollywood funnyman’s talk show on TBS has been canceled by the network after two years. The last show will air tonight.
According to TMZ, Conan O’Brien is to blame for Lopez’s firing.
“It looks like Conan did to George whatJay Leno did to Conan,” a source said.
“When Jay Leno came back to NBC, his 10 PM show tanked and killed Conan’s ratings. Well Lopez had the 11 PM time slot for its first season, but then when Conan came to TBS a year ago he took over the 11 PM slot and Lopez moved to midnight meaning George was relying on Conan to deliver a good lead-in.
“But when the change was made, George’s audience plummeted 40%. On Monday, Conan pulled in an anemic 0.5 rating in the key demographic (18 – 49) with 715,000 viewers and that’s a pretty typical day. George’s ratings hovered around 0.2, with 400,000 viewers.”
