From AP:

George Lopez has undergone a kidney transplant with an organ donated by his wife. George and Ann Lopez “are resting comfortably in their Los Angeles home and are both expected to make a full recovery,” according to a statement released Monday by a publicist for the actor-comedian.

The operation occurred last week at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Lopez, star of the ABC comedy George Lopez, had a genetic condition that caused kidney deterioration, the release said.
