George Lopez is saying goodbye to stand-up comedy with one final special, premiering Feb. 18 on Amazon Prime Video.
Shot live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, “Muy Católico” sees Lopez musing on getting older, Latino family dynamics, generational clashes, superstitions and cultural quirks.
Lopez currently stars in his multicam NBC sitcom “Lopez vs Lopez” alongside his real-life daughter Mayan Lopez. The series, which was recently renewed for a third season, explores the dysfunction, reconnection, pain and joy of George and Mayan’s real-life father-daughter relationship through a fictionalized lens.
Lopez has had a career in Hollywood that spans five decades, across television, film, stand-up comedy and late-night television. He has a handful of HBO comedy specials, including “The Wall,” “It’s Not Me, It’s You,” “Tall, Dark and Chicano” and “America’s Mexican.” His most recent stand-up hour was “We’ll Do It for Half,” which debuted in 2020 on Netflix.

His success on TV began with “George Lopez,” a groundbreaking sitcom that ran for six seasons on ABC and remains a top-rated program on Nick at Nite. He also produced and starred in “Lopez,” a semi-autobiographical single camera sitcom for two seasons on TV Land, and he co-created and starred in the multicam ensemble comedy “Saint George” for FX. He shepherded TBS’ first late-night talk show, “Lopez Tonight,” for two seasons, and he has starred in films such as “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D,” “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” and “Balls of Fury.” Last year, he joined the DC Extended Universe by way of the superhero film “Blue Beetle.”
“Muy Católico” is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Travieso Productions.
