George Lopez wasn't afraid to talk about show getting canceled on "Lopez Tonight" yesterday -- but he told the crowd that he was being fired because of the color of his skin.
Lopez -- whose voice was featured in the "Smurfs" movie -- was talking about how Sony has greenlit a "Smurfs" sequel during his monologue ... and quipped, "So today I lost some work because I'm brown, but I got some work because I'm blue!"
Is Lopez REALLY blaming race ... or was he just trying to crack a bad joke?

When does his plane leave for Canada?
....Because you’re brown?
If you say so.....
“So long”, er...”Adios” to that loser.
Its easier than admitting he's not funny.
Lopez’s ONLY claim to fame is being able to make his eyes as big as saucers while cracking a lame joke and waiting for the obligatory laughter.
somebody tell me I’m wrong about this.
How about the fact that you did not have the viewers to support what advertisers wanted. Move to Telemundo and see if you get viewers there. No one requires that you only work on one network.
He committed the mortal sin of comedy.
He wasn’t funny and his nonstop mugging for the cameras couldn’t conceal the fact.
Because you're a humorless racist rumpswab.
Wow! I didn't see that one coming! /sarc
He was hired because he was brown.. he was fired because he isn’t funny.
How many shows has this guy had that’s been axed over the last few years?
It seems he’s been canned more times than second rate tuna.
I’ve seen his routine. I couldn’t even sit through 5 minutes of it. He is terrible and I just don’t get how he has gotten as far as he has!
Obamas set at getting race wars going and hollywood will help....not a concern of peoples lifes for doing so.
You got fired because young people are doing other things at midnight. And us old people think you suck. Sorry G—you used to be funny.
I agree with you. You are so right. He is definitely funny...looking.
“When does his plane leave for Canada?”
Has anyone told this twit that Canada is starting a right turn too? That only leaves him with that cesspool south of the border to return to.
Uh, no George... you were fired because your show sucked. Your stand-up routine could was as entertaining as jock itch.
Not a lot of brown people on Telemundo neither, if you watched the Novelas, you’d think Mexico was a white, European country.
