expecting George Lopez to come out on stage, but suddenly the music started and Jennifer Lopez came out cracking late-night jokes. The first joke was of course a dig at the situation going on over at NBC, and it got quite a few laughs, as she insinuated that she was replacing George Lopez because she was a bigger star.

The heart of the joke by Jennifer Lopez about Sarah Palin was that she wasn’t even the craziest person working over at Fox News.
