George Lopez is back with a new show called Lopez on TVLand and he’s super excited to be back on TV. What a lot of people don’t know about him is that he suffers from a genetic disorder that caused him kidney failure and he received a kidney transplant in 2005, which was actually donated by his now former ex-wife. Lopez has been a spokesman for the National Kidney Foundation and he continues to encourage people on the importance of organ donation.
