George Lopez: I was fired because I'm brown!
TMZ ^ | 8/11/2011 | TMZ STAFF

Posted on 08/11/2011 7:10:39 AM PDT by Mrs. Frogjerk

George Lopez wasn't afraid to talk about show getting canceled on "Lopez Tonight" yesterday -- but he told the crowd that he was being fired because of the color of his skin.

Lopez -- whose voice was featured in the "Smurfs" movie -- was talking about how Sony has greenlit a "Smurfs" sequel during his monologue ... and quipped, "So today I lost some work because I'm brown, but I got some work because I'm blue!"

Is Lopez REALLY blaming race ... or was he just trying to crack a bad joke?

What TBS should have done, was to book, on his what would have been his week, Chevy Chase, Arsenio Hall, Magic Johnson, Joan Rivers, and whatever pop psychologist is in vogue at the moment, each discussing being fired..

Don't forget Stephanie Miller, who threw an outrageous tantrum/tirade against her bosses on her last show, after being told she'd been canceled.

Exactly. He was fired because he cracked one too many bad jokes. For a liberal to be fired by liberals, there had to be a huge reason! It is amazing how not funny liberals can be. I find most liberal comics not only not funny, but rude, caustic, arrogant and down right ugly! Jeff Foxworthy is my choice for a good comic - but that’s just me.

George who?????

I suppose the comment got him some much-needed attention he otherwise wouldn't have gotten?

Kind of like the outrageous things Michael Moore spews.

Oh wait! Michael Moore is totally serious.

Burns and Allen:
Gracie: George there’s a man on the phone from Hawaii.
George: How do you know he is from Hawaii?
Gracie: He said he was Brown from The Sun.

There was a time when Lopez was just a comedian and he had some funny routines. However, in the last couple years, his schtick hasn’t been funny at all, it’s been very, very political and nasty. I couldn’t even get through 10 minutes of his last TV special (”America’s Mexican”) before I had to change the channel, because it was nothing but conservative/white bashing and liberal talking points.

Hey George the only reason you lasted this long was because you were brown and the networks wanted to be PC.

Correct you are. He was hired for that reason. My only response to unfunny George is, ‘you’ve done a helluva job Brownie, and now we don’t need you any more.’

He was hired because he was "brown". He's being fired because he's not delivering ratings.

It was last year that he had an HBO special from San Antonio. Many Texans tuned in and quickly tuned out. He was disgusting and very racist. There was much talk about it on FR at the time. No, George, you were fired because you’re an ugly hateful being.
