LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC has put on its Christmas list a holiday movie to star the network's sitcom star George Lopez as a sports radio jock.

Lisa Vidal, whose credits include recurring roles on Lifetime's "The Division" and NBC's "ER," will play his wife, an anthropology professor.
Filming is slated to begin at the end of June in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Lopez' real wife, Ann Lopez, is on board as an executive producer.
