Comedian George Lopez is in talks to have his own late night talk show.  Word is the show is slated to begin next fall, although it has yet to be picked up by a network.

The George Lopez Show was canceled in 2007 after airing for 5 years.  Lopez has been keeping himself busy with roles in Reno 911, The Naked Brothers Band, Beverly Hills Chihuahua and hosting duties on several HBO network specials.

We wonder how Jay Leno feels about this development.  George, who was once a friend of Jay’s, let slip on WOMX-FM radio that Leno is “the biggest two-faced dude in TV.”  Those seem like fighting words but he didn’t stop there.   He also added that Leno is a “backstabber.”

Personally, we think George would do a great job and hope to see the show get a good time slot and network.  Hey, we have an idea….Lopez should take over for Jay!
