LOS ANGELES (AP) - Comedian George Lopez says he’s not joking about wanting to be mayor of Los Angeles.
Lopez told the Fox 11 news show “Good Day L.A.” on Tuesday that he doesn’t think he could pass the background check right now, but he wants to run for mayor in eight years.
Lopez says if actor Arnold Schwarzenegger can become California’s governor, there’s no reason he can’t be LA’s mayor.
The comedian says he’ll be a sort of a “Lo-bama” instead of an Obama. He won’t want to make change _ he’ll just want change, especially all those coins people stash in empty water-cooler bottles at home.
Lopez’s spokeswoman, Ina Treciokas, told The Associated Press Tuesday afternoon that the comedian wasn’t immediately available to comment.
