Carlos Santana will be George's guest on TBS’s New Late-Night Series "Lopez Tonight" premiering Monday, Nov. 9.
Host George Lopez will welcome Carlos Santana, who will perform with the show’s house band, led by Michael Bearden (This Is It). During the first week, Bearden is scheduled to play a special tribute to the late pop icon, Michael Jackson.
Also Marc Anthony, Morissey, Slash, Akon, LMFAO, Jay Sean, Amerie, Justin Bieber, Orianthi, David Guetta, and The Bravery are confirmed musical artists scheduled to perform during George's first few weeks.
George spoke plainly to TV critics at the last TCA's in Pasadena, California and shared that late night chat was about to bust open, and that he wasn't catering to the white audiences' tastes.
The show will have no desks, and be unscripted and promises to bring a club atmosphere to late night.
Along with Carlos Santana, the premiere-night guests will be Ellen DeGeneres, Eva Longoria-Parker of Desperate Housewives and NBA great Kobe Bryant. Future guests include Sandra Bullock, Ray Romano, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Alba, Charlie Sheen, Queen Latifah, Ted Danson, Andy Garcia, Larry David, Taylor Lautner, Oscar de la Hoya, Kelly Osbourne, Floyd Mayweather, Eva Mendes, Arsenio Hall and Kathy Griffin, among many others.
Lopez Tonight will air on TBS Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m. (ET/PT).
