George Lopez has announced that he plans to run for mayor of Los Angeles.

During an appearance on Fox's Good Day LA on Tuesday morning, the comedian said that he plans to run for office eight years from now.

Lopez asked: "If Arnold Schwarzenegger can be governor... why can't George Lopez be the mayor of Los Angeles?"

The late-night chatshow host said that he was serious about his political aspirations, but added that he wouldn't be able to pass the "background check" to run for mayor right now.
