Get Well Soon, George Lopez

TWIT would like to wish a speedy recovery to comedian George Lopez and his wife Ann. George is recuperating after undergoing a kidney transplant.  George received the kidney from his wife Ann.  George has a genetic condition that causes his kidneys to deteriorate. George and Ann are both back home, and are doing great.  This is truly an example of the phrase "one in a million chance" - a wife being an exact match to donate an organ to her husband. 

I heard about George's kidney transplant this morning on "Good Morning, America."  In addition to hearing Diane Sawyer talk about George getting his new kidney from his wife Ann, she also told some interesting George Lopez trivia that I didn't know.  Diane read a statement from actress Sandra Bullock.  Diane mentioned that Sandra Bullock is the producer of "The George Lopez Show."  I had no idea.  In her statement, Sandra said what a great George and Ann are, and what a great comedian he is, and commended him for his achievements. Sandra also commended George and Ann for their charity work. Their charity, The George & Ann Lopez-Richie Alarcon CARE Foundation, provides significant community and arts resources for education.  Diane also mentioned something else about George and Ann Lopez that took me by surprise.  Both George and Ann testified at the Michael Jackson child molestation trial. The couple befriended Jackson's young accuser at a Hollywood comedy camp in 2000 and gave him support when he was diagnosed with cancer.

"The George Lopez Show" is funny - I think it's one of the funnier sitcoms on TV today.  Keep up the good work, George.
