1:41

announcement over it On with Mario dot com

1:45

and a Mario Courtney Lopez and the Sopranos

1:47

is turning twenty five.

1:49

On with Mario Lopez. Hollywood

1:51

butt.

1:52

So some people consider Sopranos

1:55

the greatest TV show ever.

1:57

I was a huge fan.

1:59

I remember Sunday night, it's always

2:01

watching the Sopranos and Sex

2:03

in the City and an alf No that

2:05

was not this was not during the same era. Sopranos

2:08

and Sex in the City were my combo punch on Sunday

2:11

nights. Say it's funny because I remember where I was living and

2:13

during all that time.

2:14

It takes you back, well, were you dating?

2:16

Oh my god, I.

2:17

Was living his own sex in the city in honor.

2:19

Yeah he was, mister Berry,

2:22

you said, writing the jokes.

2:24

For me, Honi.

2:25

In honor of a twenty fifth anniversary, HBO's

2:27

officially brought the show to TikTok.

2:30

Isn't that wild?

2:31

I guess they're just posting twenty five second recaps

2:34

of all eighty six episodes

2:36

over on the streaming service Max. They're

2:38

dropping never before seen, deleted

2:41

footage and behind the scenes content. That's

2:43

pretty cool.

2:44

That is kind of cool. That is you know, there's so much

2:46

good content out there.

2:48

But if there was a show I would rewatch,

2:50

Sopranos would probably be up there, that

2:53

breaking bad Game of Thrones.

2:56

There's a certain shows that I would maybe watch

2:58

again just because I enjoyed him.

3:00

Tell Mario what do you think? On Twitter

3:02

at On with Mario more Mario Lopez

3:05

on.

3:05

The way, Mario Lopez here, my wife Courtney.

3:07

This should be no surprise for fans, but ABC is

3:09

renewed Abbed Elementary.

3:10

For a fourth season.

3:12

I can't believe it's Aready be in four seasons?

3:13

Quincha Brunson who's very nice by the

3:15

way, and tiny, she's not even five

3:17

feet really a lot.

3:19

Yeah, she's a tiny little thing.

3:20

Just came off a big win at the Emmys for Outstanding

3:22

Lead Actress.

3:23

Congrats, and the show has seven

3:25

other nominations, including Outstanding

3:28

Comedy Series. We just interviewed Lisa

3:30

Ann Walter. That's right, she's fine

3:32

last week at Access and she's

3:35

great. ABC says it's their biggest

3:38

show across all platforms.

3:39

Nice Mario Courtney

3:42

Lopez was some quick buzz for you. Peacock turning

3:44

an iHeartRadio podcast into their next

3:46

streaming series.

3:47

Look at that.

3:47

It's called Fight Night, The Million

3:49

Dollar Heist Oo.

3:51

I like anything with a fight. It's about an armed

3:54

robbery that happened during Mohammad Ali's

3:56

historic comeback fight in nineteen seventies.

3:58

This is my boy, Dexter darted, that's

4:00

right. Buying Mohammad Ali.

4:02

In this this is awesome and he's working

4:04

with great people too.

4:05

Whoa big cast for sure, Don Cheeto,

4:07

Kevin Hard, Taraji p Henson, Samuel

4:10

L.

4:10

Jackson. Good for you, Dexter.

4:13

Yes, no word yet on the premiere date, but we

4:15

know we will be watching absolutely.

4:19

You're Amaro, Courtney Lopez, and Andy Cohen says

4:21

he is not a cocaine kingpin.

4:23

With Mario Lopez Hollywood, but.

4:26

So Liam McSweeney was a former New

4:28

York housewife and she is suing Andy

4:31

Cohen and Bravo accusing him of using cocaine

4:33

with certain housewives and giving those ladies

4:36

better edits. She also

4:38

says producers co erced her into drinking even

4:40

though they knew she had past issues

4:42

with alcohol. Andy's rep says it's

4:45

all false and outrageous to even think it. He's

4:47

been through it. Brandy Glanville is also

4:50

suing him for assault,

4:53

and I believe another housewives come out. Yeah,

4:56

that's a messy situation over there in general.

4:59

You know, I am that's

5:01

my guilty pleasure and we all know that.

5:03

But I will I'm so glad you're not a part of that.

5:06

I would never want

5:09

to put my family through that.

5:10

I'm not.

5:11

I don't have that kind of energy

5:14

and urge and meanness to be

5:16

a part of something like that.

5:17

What's the upside?

5:19

This is the fame and then if

5:21

you call it.

5:21

That infamous, then famous

5:24

exactly.

5:24

But they still like being out there.

5:26

Yeah, more Mario Lopez on the way,

5:30

you're all Mario Courtney Lopez, let's get

5:32

your comments, and mentioned, what'd you find any

5:34

This.

5:34

Is from and Fresh twelve, and they say,

5:36

can you believe this summer is already the five

5:38

year anniversary of that time we all

5:41

went crazy for Popeyes chicken

5:43

sandwiches.

5:44

World hasn't been the same since.

5:46

I'll tell you what, you know what, those are some tasty

5:49

sandwiches. They really are. You

5:51

don't need to be killing people over them,

5:54

but those are some really tasty sandwiches.

5:56

Speaking of that, did that coincide with the

5:58

summer of the scary clowns that were popping

6:01

up?

6:01

Was that the same year? I don't know. I

6:03

don't know if that was the same I don't even remember.

6:05

Yesterday, No, the chicken sandwiches

6:08

people were getting violent and it was

6:10

like, we're out of control.

some John Ireland, nineteen seventies.

7:20

Eager to leave his dark past behind,

7:23

Finn Bar Murphy leads

7:27

a quiet life in the remote coastal

7:29

turn of glend Cullum Kill

7:31

that's up in Donegall in the northwest

7:33

of Ireland, far

7:36

from the political violence that grips the rest

7:38

of the country. But when a menacing

7:41

crew of terrorists arrive, led

7:43

by a ruthless woman who

7:46

led by Kerry Conton, fin

7:48

Bar is drawn into an increasingly

7:50

vicious game of cat and mouse, forcing

7:53

him to choose between exposing

7:55

his secret identity for

7:57

defending his friends and neighbors.

8:00

That is a good tease right there. In

8:02

the Land of Saints and Sinners is the name of

Quick break, and then we have more with liamn Center

8:15

Field to it.

8:16

Yes, yes it does. It has a

8:18

Western fight to it. Yes it does.

8:20

I love that. I love that that genre.

You carry a shotgun, I heard throughout the film.

8:25

I carry I carry a shot gun.

8:27

8:28

Liam, Have I shot in

8:30

real life at targets? Yeah?

8:33

Well yeah, it's

8:36

really.

8:38

The occasional rabbit raccoon upstate

8:41

New York. I have to admit the kids

8:43

were small my head occasion to shoot

8:46

some rabbit raccoons, right, I

8:49

did not enjoy doing, but it had to be done.

8:51

You know, it has to be done.

8:52

You know it's good eating too, by the way, I've

8:54

eaten.

8:55

Please raccoon, were you eating

8:57

that?

8:57

Raccoon Rabbit, I should say raccoon I haven't

8:59

tried. I don't want to knock it because it might be good.

9:01

I don't know. But Rabbit I have, and Rabbit's delicious.

9:04

Rabbit is delicious. I would agree with you there.

9:06

Yeah, fair enough.

9:07

Well, Liam, hang on a few more songs and I We're going to come

9:09

back and chat with Liam Neeson.

9:11

Mario Lopez will be right back.

9:13

Amaro Lopez got Oscar nominated actor

9:15

Liam Neeson on Zoom this Hour and

9:17

Liam later on. This year, you start shooting

9:19

a new Naked Gun movie, which I'm

9:21

very excited about because I was a fan of the originals.

9:24

Is this just a straight up comedy.

9:27

A straight up comedy. Yes,

9:31

we started I think in May. Yes,

9:35

parimunder rebooting the na Could Gun franchise

9:37

have offered the part to

9:40

me, the wonderful Leslie Nielsen

9:42

played in the eighties. So

9:45

why do you give it a show? I'm I'm bit

9:47

nervous. I must have met because I've done a couple

9:49

of funny sketches in

9:52

the past on TV. But carry

9:54

a film for ninety five hundred

9:57

minutes I've never done before. But the

9:59

comedy Jean so they're

10:02

they're assembling really

10:04

good actors and actresses and do

10:06

you have funny chops and

10:08

there'd be lots of visual gags happening behind

10:11

the characters backs.

10:12

Yeah, I can totally see this.

10:14

I think it's great casting your with your voice

10:16

and your straight, deadpan delivery and all

10:18

the hijinks happening.

10:19

I think it's gonna be very funny. Liam Neeson

10:21

is with us. We can have more with him coming up.

10:24

You're all Mario Lopez chatting with actor Liam

10:26

Neeson and Liam. This year is the twenty

10:28

fifth anniversary of Star Wars Episode

10:31

one. Well, what do you remember about

10:33

about that time?

10:34

And everybody keeps telling me, just

10:37

thirty years of showers, let us

10:39

goill, thirty years of now now you're

10:41

telling me twenty five years of the

10:43

Found the Menace. Oh my gosh, you're making

10:45

me feel really old.

10:47

I remember waiting in line to see that

10:49

during that time. Were you reluctant at all? Were you a Star

10:52

Wars fan? Were we're just I'm jumping right in.

10:53

No, I do remember. I was in

10:55

the theater in Belfast nineteen

10:58

seventy six from the first one came out

11:00

with Harrison and all

11:03

those lovely actors on the cinema.

11:07

In the warmer road in Belfast,

11:09

you could hear armored cars

11:11

Saracens going up and down the road. But the

11:14

cinema was packed to see this rather

11:16

strange Star Wars episode

11:19

four, right, Yes,

11:22

I know. The cinema was packed

11:24

with old ages, kids,

11:26

women, old age pensioners. It was

11:29

packed and everybody enjoyed

11:31

it. I'll never forget it. It was really

11:34

something else.

11:36

I bet, I bet, well, Yeah, changed cinema

11:38

forever.

11:38

Well, hang on, Liam More, Liam Neeson

11:41

on the way, John

11:43

Mario Lopez, Liam Neeson on Zoom

11:45

And we talked briefly before we got on

11:48

air about you being a boxer growing up, which

11:50

I love and I often think there's a lot

11:52

of parallels as far as with the arts as well.

11:54

You're you're you're alone, vulnerable,

11:57

having to figure out stuff by yourself. And

12:01

would you attribute are you still a fan of the sport?

12:03

Would you attribute to a lot of that?

12:05

Is that?

12:05

What were you fighting and then you fell

12:07

into acting or did you always want to

12:09

get into the arts?

12:10

Well, just that that's a very good description of

12:13

a boxer and the arts and acting,

12:16

plus the fact you're doing it in short Pence. Yeah,

12:19

practically naked,

12:22

which I hate it. I never never

12:24

liked my legs as a kid, and I was always

12:27

conscious of showing my legs as I

12:29

was boxing, So I have taken that on

12:31

board as well as trying to figure out an opponent's

12:33

next moves. But yeah, I

12:35

did it as not majority. I started when it was nine.

12:37

I think I had my last fight when I was seventeen.

12:40

That's a good run.

12:42

It was a good run and I loved

12:44

it. I still do. I try and follow

12:46

it. I

12:51

love watching a good fight. My gosh,

12:53

I'm trying to think the last time I enjoyed

12:55

a really good boxing match.

12:57

Some good fighters come out of Ireland, tough.

13:00

There's there's a couple, Yeah, there's

13:02

there's a couple.

13:04

Then of course in MMA, we've got Connor McGregor

13:06

that's going to make his acting debut and Roadhouse.

13:09

Oh really yeah, I heard he's I

13:11

heard he's really good at it too.

13:13

Yeah if if he shows up

13:15

on time, right, he's not a very

13:17

good time keep.

13:19

Yes, apparently.

13:22

That would be great.

13:23

wonderful English

13:48

teacher and Jerry mcewn he recently

joined that and we did work plays.

14:00

One thing led to another, yeah, I one take

14:02
