Children and their parents often suffer serious disputes, but they rarely make them into a sitcom. That’s exactly what comedian George Lopez and his daughter, Mayan, have done with “Lopez vs. Lopez,” premiering on NBC Friday.
“My parents got divorced about 10 years ago,” recalls Mayan Lopez, 26. “There was a time where we didn't speak and were estranged for about three years. But the pandemic brought us back together. And within the last two years, my dad and I really solidified our relationship.”
Mayan says she started creating TikToks to try to reconnect with her family. “And (TV producer) Debby Wolfe was scrolling one day and she saw one of our TikToks. And this whole ‘Lopez vs. Lopez’ was born from that idea.”
