    Comedian George Lopez had a long-running feud with Erik Estrada because, when Lopez was a child, Estrada was filming an episode of "CHiPs" near Lopez's neighborhood and would not sign an autograph or shake Lopez's hand. Lopez has since promised to pay Estrada back. In 2011, Estrada told The Enrique Santos Show, a Miami radio program, that he did not remember ignoring Lopez, but that he was tired of Lopez slandering his name; he said he saw Lopez at a church event and invited him to fight, and that Lopez backed down, saying, "I'm a comedian, not a fighter." In 2015, Lopez said of Estrada during a Huffington Post interview, "I'll fuck that motherfucker up."
