OBAMA MAKES CAMEO ON 'GEORGE LOPEZ' PILOT: Comedian says appearance was a favor for supporting his campaign.
(July 30, 2009)
*George Lopez had a special guest star on board to open the pilot of his upcoming late night talk show for TBS, due in November.
In a clip shown during a Tuesday meeting of the Television Critics Association, the comedian stands across from President Barack Obama to beg for a position in his cabinet. Obama lightly brushes him off, saying: "George, you need to change late night. That's the kind of change I can believe in."
The 48-year-old comedian said he now considers Obama a "close friend" after stumping for the politician during the campaign, and would be "personally offended" if Obama did not appear on "Lopez Tonight" the next time he is in Los Angeles.
