Summary

Last Friday, George Lopez had to deal with the bane of every comedian’s existence: hecklers. While performing at the Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville, California, the legendary stand-up was interrupted several times by a of couple audience members of a sold out show. Instead of finishing his set, George left the stage about a half hour early. George’s team blames the casino for not controlling the crowd, but the casino says it’s all on on George. They say the “Lopez vs Lopez” star overreacted and that his private security team should have stepped in. Richies, looks like a classic case of “comedian said, casino said.”

0:30.7	Hecklers or no one laughing? I don't know. I guess no one laughing. Yeah.
0:36.1	Because that's just awkward for everyone. I mean I would do the same thing George
0:40.0	did. I will not let there be awkward silence if I'm at a stand-up show. Like I will laugh if there's no, because I can't, physically cannot do it. I know. I know. I once tried. I was like, I'm only going to laugh if I find it funny and I was like I can't have too much of an unpath I can't let them suffer from there.

1:18.5	Yeah, he pulled one of my all-time favorite party hacks. He just left. George literally walked off the stage in the middle of his set.
1:26.4	And now both he and the Casino are speaking up with very different takes on what actually went down.
