George was at Kim Kardashian's wedding to Chris Humphries. When he was there George revealed that during the marriage vow's the crew yelled cut right before he said I do so they could get it from a different angle for the television show. Earth wind and fire played at the after party for only two songs because the Kardashian's didn't get the neighbors permission to have music playing past 10 PM.
Angela was at Michelle Obama's 50th birthday party. Security would not allow phones at the party. They just raise the roof all night long, right alongside the pictures of George and Martha Washington hanging on the walls. It was at the White House and they even had a soul train line Beyoncé performed during her party.
Lynn from Florida called to ask Angela if she got to work with Tina Turner during what's love got to do with it? Tina actually did her make up for the movie.
GIF of the Night: None given tonight😢
@Derekjhair tweeted....
Angela is a true fan of fashion queens & watches it all the time.
When George was 17 he went to go to shake Eric Estrada's hand and he wouldn't except a handshake from him. From that point on George was going to make him pay. Every time he gets a chance to take a shot at his ass he does. Andy lusted after Eric when he was younger. So was George, that's why he got so pissed over the handshake.
Ashley from Tennessee called to ask Angela how long it takes to go thru the make up process to get an extra breast for American horror story freak show?
It takes about an hour. It takes a woman to put it on the man to help and two other people to put make up and freckles on.
Sandra bullock is George's ferry godmother. George this is doing his late-night show. He had people from Prince to Janet Jackson to Denzel Washington on his show.
That brings up the great debate where in the world is Janet Jackson?
Andy is going to put out an SOS for her soon.
Game Time!
DoorBell!
It's 3 Whitney Drag Queens!
Andy has the queen's help him out with the game by reading the fierce trivia questions about Whitney Houston in a game called "It's not right, but it's so gay"! Angela Wins the Game!
Plug Alert: For playing along Angela wins a Mazel off the shoulder shirt and George winds a Mazel hoodie both available on ShopByBravo.com
The Queens win a turn at the ShotSki!
Triple J (Jimmy John Jillson) from Indiana called to ask George if he'd ever go nude for a role?
Georgia do a nude scene for pretty much anything.
Andy asked Angela if she's nervous about Bobby Brown doing an interview the day after the Whitney Movie airs?
Angela's not nervous because she portrayed him honestly. The film is before the messy years.
Mazel of the Day: Goes to Stevie nicks for gracing the cover of the Rolling Stones. Stevie Nicks appears solo on the cover for the first time since 1981. In the article Stevie reveals that she did a little waiter pretty much through all the 90s. Which left Andy with only one question, is Stevie Nicks him?
Jackhole of the Day: Goes to the shady bot that was created by artist hackers. The bot's purpose was to purchase random items online it wound up buying a packet of ecstasy pills inside a DVD box & A forged Hungarian passport. 😁

AfterShow:
(You can watch the AfterShow here)
Andy asked Angela about Bobby Christina wanting to do originally play The role of her mother Whitney Houston & if that was a hard decision for Angela to say no?
They were actually shooting a ready for a week when she heard the Bobby Christina wanted to play the role that had already been filled.
Andy asked George what his acquaintance with Michael Jackson was?
George was at the Laugh factory and and had to mentor three kids. George mentored the three kids and then one of them got sick and Michael Jackson called that one that got sick. It was the boy who allege the last molestation charge against Michael Jackson. The kid wound up going to George's house & George fed him & took him shopping. The kid wound up leaving his wallet at George's house. George returned the wallet to the kids father. The father then accused him of stealing $300 from his sons wallet. George actually had to testify in that molestation trial. To this day George wasn't sure which side he was testifying for. The father was a Golddigger and lied about the $300. He was really there to testify against that & to see Michael Jackson of course. It was painful to be there to see Michael Jackson for George as a fan.
Angela had met Michael Jackson as well. She loved her performance portraying his mother in The Jackson movie.
Rachel from Georgia called to ask Angela what her favorite role that she ever played was?
The one she appreciates the most is What's Love, that was the hardest. It was painful, physically, emotionally & spiritually. The most fun was with how Stella got her groove back.
Becky D. called from Idaho to ask George if he would be willing to go to Idaho and help them campaign for medicinal marijuana use?
George will come to Idaho and help Idaho pass medicinal marijuana usage as s law & he will bring Cheech and Chong with him.
Paula from Cincinnati Ohio asked Angela between Whitney Houston and Tina Turner's lives which one did you find more interesting?
That's an impossible call, Angela says.
Margaret from Texas called to ask George when he's going to have his next special and where?
George can't release the information yet but he would love to do one live on Broadway.
Kat Dahlia will be on the today show on the 26th. She'll be performing her song Crazy. They are also giving her two minute interview. Hopefully she'll sell a few CDs from that appearance. Hint, Hint, Wink, Wink. Buy #MyGarden on iTunes now.
My very good friend Amy (follow her on Twitter @amgwilt) called in to let Andy know that Janet Jackson is with her in Rancho Cucamonga. 😂 Amy asked the beautiful Angela Bassett what her biggest fear was that when taking on the directing of the Whitney project?
Angela didn't know a lot of the technical aspects. When you're behind the camera, you have to answer a lot of questions. You're surrounded herself with people who are passionate about what they do and they did it together.
Plug Alert: Watch Angela's directorial debut this Saturday on the Lifetime network in the movie Whitney.
Watch George Lopez and his movie, Spare Parts in theaters this weekend.
Don't forget to purchase Kat Dahlia's CD #MyGarden on iTunes now.
