The writing had been on the wall for George Lopez's late-night show on TBS. There was speculation that TBS was planning to cancel the show last year, but Conan O'Brien insisted on Lopez sticking around so he is not perceived as the guy who got Lopez fired. So Lopez Tonight got a stay of execution but now the show, originally developed by Telepictures as a syndicated talk show, has come to an end after a two-season run. There have been rumors that TBS had tried to make the show broader and less ethnic. For one reason or another, both late-night shows with minority hosts, Lopez Tonight and Bet's The Mo'Nique Show, bit the dust within the past 2 weeks. Here is the official statement from TBS: "TBS has reached the difficult decision not to order a third season of Lopez Tonight. Thursday will be the final episode of the show.
