In an interview on Good Day LA on the FOX affiliate in LA this morning comedian George Lopez says that he wants to host Satuday Night Live. When asked why he had not gotten the chance to host the show he joked that it was because of a beef that he and Loren Michaels had over the Eddie Murphy Gumby skits.

Lopez wants someone to start a Facebook and Twitter campaign as people did to get Betty White on SNL Don’t be surprised if you see that go up at some time today!

Later in the interview Lopez said, “Although I probably can’t pass the background checkiIn 8 years I want to run for Mayor of LA”. When asked by Good Day LA‘s Steve Edwards if he was serious Lopez said “If Arnold Schwarzenegger can be governor of California then I can be Mayor of LA!” He also added that the hispanic population of LA with be 96.4 percent in 8 years when he runs giving him a good chance to win. Lopez set the 8 year timeline for running likely because that will be about the end of his contract with TBS. Right now Lopez says that he is very much enjoying his show “Lopez Tonight“.
