superintendent, as a principal and not recognize when you re being told by parents for instance, when our daughter erica had a problem, she reported it to us. mrs. cosby then went to the school. the school immediately and erica is maybe 7, 8 years old, immediately brought the parents in of the child who was doing the bullying. and it worked. larry: we got more coming up. was george lopez, by the way the key to conan s deal with tbs? we re going to ask him from the set of lopez tonight. he ll be back in several minutes. back with the cos after this. mt is the honor of being in your garage.
conan was hesitant to do this. he didn t want to see someone get bumped to a later time, that you personally called conan and assured him it was okay. absolutely, larry. last wednesday, steve koonin who is the head of tbs flew and said i have something that sounds really crazy. if i don t have your blessing, this deal does not go forward. what do you think of conan o brien coming to tbs and taking the 11:00 spot and you going to midnight? i said i think it s fantastic. he said will you call conan and tell him how you feel about tbs, how we do business? absolutely. tbs and warner pictures have been great to lopez tonight tonight. they have been nothing but great to me. and conan is a wonderful asset to the tbs family. and also, i believe that this combination, almost the same sex desi arnaz and lucille ball if you will take late night into a new generation. and change the landscape. larry, i m a latino. i know something about landscape. it s going to be fantastic come november. la
larry: george lopez is our guest at the bottom of the hour. he ll be with us from the set of lopez tonight just ahead. we ll even ask cosby what he thinks about this late night shuffle involving o brien and lopez. but back to the important topic of bullying. we ll take another look at the fat albert and cosby kids episode on bullying. important. watch. why you always hassling us kids, slappy? because i feel like it. see? you wouldn t do this to fat albert. that tub a lard doesn t scare me. uh, sloppy. if fat albert were here, i would tell him a few things. hey, hey, hey, what you got
conan o brien, george lopez, and the reporters keep asking me the same question. they even all sound the same. george, are you happy that conan o brien is coming to tbs? are you? are you happy? i m really happy. really. and i m a latino. i m never happy. i m really happy. larry: that was from tonight s show as yet to be seen. you ve seen it here first. it will be on later. george lopez, the actor, comic and host and executive producer of lopez tonight on america s most famous channel today, tbs. he played a role in bringing conan o brien to tbs late night. tbs is owned by time warner, cnn s parent company. so, george, conan and i are all working for the same people, along with you. george joins us from the set of lopez tonight, part of team lo-co, as he calls it.
there are no affiliates. and they allow you to do your type of show. i believe that the system of the network talk show is a little bit dated. larry, the guys are a little bit older. they re not as fresh. people are tuning away. the demographic for lopez tonight is 33 years old. that s amazingly young. and with conan, it is an incredible contribution to our dynamic two-hour block every night. come on. hey, larry, it sells itself. come on. larry: you saying are you predicting then that these shows are going to do very well, the 11:00 and the 12:00? i am predicting that these shows will change late night tv. my intention was to bring the party back to late night from the time offensive been on in november, i ve been doing that. and conan is a fantastic edition to tbs. and, listen, he is on earlier. he needs to get done earlier and get out and get some sun. eventually i want us to end up being the same color. larry: ah, you have a goal!
