George Lopez jokes about his cancellation: 'I'm fine, my goddesses are a wreck'
George Lopez seems to be taking the news of his TBS show's cancellation pretty well, judging by his monologue Wednesday (Aug. 10) night.
TBS decided Wednesday to cancel "Lopez Tonight," which ran for two seasons but was struggling in the ratings. The final show airs Thursday. Lopez devoted a couple minutes of his monologue (you can also watch here) to the news, joking that "We're not saying goodbye. We're saying -- cable doesn't work."
He also made reference to Charlie Sheen getting canned from "Two and a Half Men": "People ask me, what are you going to do? Like every TV star before me, I'm gonna find some crack. I'm gonna get on the pipe, lose that unwanted 110 pounds I've been trying to lose. ... I'm fine, but my goddesses are a wreck. ... They left me."
Lopez also says he's grateful Sony has decided to make a sequel to "The Smurfs," in which he does the voice of Grouchy. "So today I lost some work because I'm brown, but also I got some work because I'm blue," he says.
Lopez's fellow TBS host, Conan O'Brien, expressed his sympathy for Lopez and the show's crew on "Conan" Wednesday night. "Had it not been for George being so incredibly supportive of me I would not have come to TBS," he said. "... Tonight all of our thoughts are with George and his staff and crew."
The final "Lopez Tonight" airs at midnight ET Thursday.

Shane Warne is all natural, jokes comedian Dave Hughes
The Australian comedian, who is best known for his roles on Nova radio and TV show The 7pm Project, was photographed yesterday with sprayed yellow hair and wearing the same clothes as Warne in a recent picture.
After the images were published, Hughes joked to the Herald Sun: "I'm sick of everyone having a crack at Warnie. Both of our new looks are all natural."
Warne recently hit back at reports that he has had cosmetic procedures and likes wearing eyeliner, saying: "Questions re facelift/Botox etc are absolute rubbish." He also admitted that his smooth complexion was thanks to him using Estee Lauder beauty products.
Model Elizabeth Hurley, who has been dating cricketer Warne since late last year, recently joked about the alleged "evil regime" she has devised for her boyfriend, writing on her Twitter page: "I've decided to take full responsibility for SW's remarkable weight loss."
Warne has also defended Hurley over accusations that she forced him into getting in shape.

No joke, Livingston wins ‘crying towel’ award
By Derrick Mahone
dmahone@news-daily.com
Armed with their best one-liners, jokes and put-downs, each of the nine Clayton County football coaches stepped to the podium during the annual Rotary Club Of Clayton County Crying Towel luncheon to poke fun at their teams.
Morrow first-year coach J. Livingston took top honors in winning the award, a blue engraved towel. A longtime basketball coach in the county, Livingston inherits a Morrow squad that returns nine total starters from a team that finished with a 2-8 record last season.
“I’ve noticed there’s a big difference in a football and basketball,” Livingston began his short speech. “A football doesn’t bounce. When it (football) is dropped on the ground, everybody starts hollering, ‘Fumble!’”
But it was probably Livingston’s story about his barber’s parrot that impressed the Rotarians.
Livingston said he visited his barber three times, and each time the barber would step out of the room, his parrot would shout, “Morrow can’t win. Morrow can’t win.” On the fourth visit, Livingston confronted his barber about the parrot. Livingston said the barber took the parrot in the back and scolded it.
After the barber left the room again, Livingston said the parrot looked and him and said, “You know what.”
Drew coach Jarrett Laws was perhaps the most creative as he wrote a poem to poke fun at his team. He had won the last two.
But for the most part, it was just old-fashioned one-liners that kept most of the crowd at the National Archives Building in Morrow laughing.
“I’m not good at telling jokes,” Mount Zion coach Jamie Aull told the gathering of principals, athletics directors and Rotarians. “But if you want to see a joke, just come out and watch my team play.”
At Mundy’s Mill, according to coach Peniel Dany, things have gotten so bad that the school’s custodian has been drawing up plays for him to try.
“This guy is supposed to be cleaning the school, but he comes to me with this sheet of plays,” said Dany, who held up a sheet of paper with some plays sketched on it. “Things have gotten so bad that when I went into a region meeting before the start of practice, and coaches are sitting there flipping a coin to see who will have the benefit of playing Mundy’s Mill for homecoming.”
Edmund Coley takes over a Forest Park program that has had nine different coaches in the past 12 seasons. The former Locust Grove offensive coordinator offered a peace offering for those who happen to run into a Forest Park player in the community.
“If you see a kid that says he plays football for Forest Park, just tell him, ‘Bless your soul,’ ” Coley said.
Al Hughes has won a few Crying Towel Awards during his tenure at both Lovejoy and Jonesboro, but the coach now says that can be a bad omen.
“I’ve done some research, and several times after the coach has won this award, he was fired the next season,” Hughes said. “I’m trying my best not to win this award.”
Known throughout the Southern Crescent as Lovejoy University, because it has produced several Div. I players over the last few years, Hughes said that will not be the case this season. He quipped that his team was small and slow.
To illustrate his point, Hughes brought a small replica helmet to the podium and said it belongs to his biggest player.
“Please take it easy on us this season, we don’t have any players,” Hughes told his coaching counterparts.
But he will get no sympathy from new North Clayton coach Max Wiltz, who has been trying to replace several assistants because of a new county policy that restricts the use of community coaches.
“I’m Max Wiltz, the head football coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, bus driver, water boy,” he joked.
For most of the coaches the joking stops this weekend, when they begin playing preseason scrimmages.
“I can’t wait,” Deny said.
And neither can the custodian.
