00:01Hi friends, how are you? I'm Jaime Camille and I invite you to
00:05greet you very much and I invite you to not forget the season 2 of
00:10Lopez vs. Lopez on NBC and Peacock.
00:16I mean, I've heard things from people who are alone watching the show and make them feel better.
00:22Somebody told me yesterday that they were expecting their first child and they were having some issues
00:26with the pregnancy and that when she would go to the hospital that the show was on
00:30and they always felt kind of comforted by it.
00:33I had a little kid in my elementary school the first year I went to go take presents who said
00:37to me,
00:37you're real. I didn't think you were real.
00:44So, even men, Latinos, when they would compliment you and say,
00:47you know, my mija wants a car, I can't afford it, but we're always fighting, but we watch your show
00:51and then, you know, for that time, she's my mija again.
00:58I've always been of the idea that shows need to be good, right?
01:02They need to be well written and they need to be well executed.
01:06If on top of that you have a show that enhances and showcases our culture in an accurate and respectful
01:13way,
01:14amazing, even better, right?
01:16But I've always been of the idea that we shouldn't, if we have a show that is kind of not
01:21that good or mediocre
01:22and it gets cancelled for whatever reason, it's not fair to play the Latino card, right?
01:27Oh, we need more...
01:28Yeah, it's obviously a larger conversation because we do get less opportunities than the mainstreams, right?
01:36So, we do have that against us, of course, we don't get to fail upward.
01:42But, yeah, this show is very well written.
01:46I love the fact that it showcases a Latino family, no doubt about that, but it's well written.
01:53It's a very well told story.
01:54So, you know, the family, George, they could be from Turkey, they could be from Vietnam, the same as Jane
02:00the Virgin.
02:00We had the privilege of showcasing beautiful leads of multi-generational women as the leads of the show
02:09that happened to be Latinas, but they could be from Vietnam, from Turkey, from France,
02:13and the show would still be good because it was very well written.
02:17So, I think that this show has that.
02:19This has all been kind of an inclusive journey.
02:23The first show was, and this one most definitely is, I believe, maybe even more than that one
02:27because of the presence of Mayan and the fact that even for other Latinos who are out there,
02:32Gen Z, X, whatever, trying to produce shows, now's the time to present them
02:37because the further this one goes, the easier it is for others to come along in the wake.
02:42And I think 20 years ago, when my first one was, there was a lot of them that were shot
02:46down,
02:46but the market is more accommodating and it's never been more wide open than right now.
02:52So, I would hope that people would take advantage of that.
02:57I love it. I love this format. I love sitcoms. They're so fun.
03:00The audience is such an important part of any sitcoms because they are the other character
03:06and you really have to adjust to their reactions and their laughter and whatever they do.
03:11So, you have to be always very sharp.
03:16I love it.
