Among the many different accomplishments of Mr. Duran and his show, 2003 marked a turning point for many different reasons. In April 2003, Mr. Duran was called by VH1 to audition for a reality television show. In October of that same year, Mr. Duran was invited to interview George Lopez on the Warner Brothers set of his hit sitcom for the three-year anniversary of "Thee Mr. Duran Show" (Mr. Lopez was a guest on the show's first year anniversary in November 2001.) In December 2003, Mr. Duran began a four month hiatus due to triple bypass surgery. Thanks to his co-hosts Joanna Salas, Tina Jimenez, and Rey Garza, the show was able to continue while its creator recovered. Up until his surgery, Mr. Duran had been airing his show at Adelphia affiliates in Baldwin Park, Eagle Rock, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Northridge, North Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley. The show will return to those affiliates in soon. For more information on how to get the show airing in your area, please e-mail Mr. Duran for more information.
