Today, George Lopez stars in his own hit television show and performs stand-up to sold-out crowds across the country--but the road to the top was anything but easy. In "Why You Crying?. Lopez gives us the funny and sad sides of his life story, whether he's writing about his poor, fatherless upbringing in California, triumph in the battle against drinking and depression, the inspiration of idols such as Freddie Prinze, or his road to becoming a devoted husband and father. Along the way, Lopez riffs on the importance of family, amusing differences between Chicano and Anglo culture, the tedious jobs and colorful characters he encountered before committing to comedy full-time and more--all part of a fascinating life and career that have broken barriers of race, culture and class and given us all the gift of laughter.
