<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Today, George Lopez stars in his own hit television show and performs stand-up to sold-out crowds across the country--but the road to the top was anything but easy. In "Why You Crying?," the actor gives readers the funny and sad sides of his life story.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Cowritten by Emmy Award-winning writer and sportscaster Armen Keteyian, the darkly funny narrative of <i>Why You Crying? </i> riffs on the importance of family, the stark, often hysterical differences between Chicano and gringo culture, and the inspirational message that anybody can become Somebody. Read it and weep!</b> <p/><b>When George Lopez gives a comic performance, there's not a dry eye or empty seat in the house, and for six years, millions of viewers tuned in to get their weekly G-Lo fix with ABC's <i>The George Lopez Show</i>.</b> Now, George is back, and he's made the switch from prime-time family guy to late-night talk show host. <i> Lopez Tonight</i> combines George's irreverent and very opinionated humor with spontaneous celebrity interactions to create a party of a show; with George, the audience knows the conversation will be high-energy, low-formality, and 100 percent unpredictable. <p/>But while he can make his audiences cry with laughter, Lopez's own life--before becoming one of America's most popular Latino personalities--was anything but funny. Abandoned by his California migrant-worker father at the tender age of two months and deserted by his own mother at the age of ten years, Lopez was raised by grandparents who viewed "love" as a different four-letter word. <p/>Co-written by Emmy Award-winning writer and sportscaster Armen Keteyian, the darkly funny narrative of <i>Why You Crying? </i> riffs on the importance of family, the stark, often hysterical differences between Chicano and gringo culture, and the inspirational message that anybody can become Somebody. Read it and weep!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An inspired (and hilarious!) guide to overcoming life's pitfalls on your way to becoming a winner."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>George Lopez</b> is the cocreator, writer, producer, and star of the acclaimed ABC sitcom <i>George Lopez.</i> A current cast member of HBO's <i>Inside the NFL, </i> he has appeared on <i>The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, </i> and <i>Good Morning America, </i> among others.
