Nikki Novak here for Young Hollywood at the sixth annual George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic. It is raining out. It never rains in LA. So we're going to head inside to the GBK Gifting suite.

Young Hollywood

So you are the man today. You know, people come back year after year. This is the sixth annual George Lopez tournament. So six years into this, how good are you at this point at golf?

George Lopez

Not very, but you can have a good time and not be good. Really golf is about the romance, the guys getting out there, isn't it? I love all these guys. So yes, I would say that, uh, I have crushes on several of the players today.

Young Hollywood

Who do you have the biggest crush on?

George Lopez

Uh, Adam LaVine.

Young Hollywood

Here with Chris Tucker who is wearing his Tiger Woods hat. Do you have the tiger swing? Let's see.

Chris Tucker

I got to stay down. I got to keep down like that and come in like that.

Young Hollywood

What about any of your co-stars from Silver Linings? Cuz I'd love to play with Bradley or Mr. De Niro or

Chris Tucker

What Jennifer? You can't you can't leave her out. Jennifer, yeah. I think she'd be a good golfer.

Young Hollywood

So, scandal. What's the most scandalous thing you've ever done on a golf course?

Chris Tucker

The most scandalous thing I've ever done on a golf course? Well, uh, when I was in high school, I had friends who lived on a golf course. I won't go into detail, but, uh, I had some good times on a golf course back then. Probably probably better when I didn't play golf than now when I do.

Young Hollywood

I am here with Sugar Ray Leonard. Is there anything that you took from boxing that helps you with your game?

Sugar Ray Leonard

No. Totally different. No, not not at all.

Young Hollywood

So we asked Scott Foley, who's on Scandal, what's the most scandalous thing he's ever done on a golf course. For you, what's the most criminal thing, because of Criminal Minds, you've ever done on a golf course?

Guest

Oh, God. I'm sure some of my wayward shots have been criminal because God, you know, I'm hoping I never killed anyone, but you never know.

Young Hollywood

I am here with Rob Riggle, who looks the part. You definitely look like a golfer. White belt. That's it's all about the white belt. That that means you're a golfer. Now, how are you how are your golf skills from last year? Have they improved?

Rob Riggle

I think they've degraded. It's going to be a hot mess today.

Young Hollywood

So Modern Family, you've been doing a lot of that. Yeah, yeah. Is it fun playing the bad guy?

Rob Riggle

He's just misunderstood. It's it's like Darth Vader. There's goodness in there. Somebody's just got to find it.

Young Hollywood

I am here with Tony Dovolani from Dancing With the Stars. How is your dancing going to help you with your golf game? Does it help you?

Tony Dovolani

It helps in every which way. I mean, I've only been golfing for five years. I'm already a two handicap.

Young Hollywood

So we had Aly Raisman in our studio, and we had Zendaya in our studio. Any predictions on who's going to win this season? Who's going to take it?

Tony Dovolani

It's going to be very tight, but I think Zendaya is, you know, is looking way too strong. And she's she's hitting her home stretch right now, and she's looking stronger and stronger.

Young Hollywood

Can you give me a little golf lesson? A golf sort of dance lesson?

Tony Dovolani

Of course. Okay. Do this. All right. With your feet apart. Yep. With your feet apart and just do this with your hips. There you go. You're going to be very successful in life if you keep doing that.

Young Hollywood

So, obviously the rain, it's raining. How is your strategy going to change based on the rain? How are you going to approach it with a fresh take?

George Lopez

Well, we'll probably sell more alcohol, uh, here at the club, especially with the weather in it. Uh, it it destroys my game. It really does.

Young Hollywood

How do you take the rain and the conditions and use it for your strategy and like bring like a fresh take to the course?

Guest

Well, you know the ball don't move as much, so that's good for me. So, wherever I hit it, it'll it'll it'll stay. I uh, I look at the weather as a benefit to my game because it's so bad to begin with that it really can't get any worse. I can't worry about my game as much as I need to get in other people's heads. You sure that's club you want to hit? Okay. A lot of in the back swings. Basically, I'm going to drag everybody else down with me.

Young Hollywood

So, I know the last time we talked to you was in Austin for 21 Jump Street. That's right. That's right. Sequel?

Guest

There I think they're doing it. Right?

Young Hollywood

They as in not not you?

Guest

Don't know yet.

Young Hollywood

Who do you have to suck up to? Is it Jonah Hill? Who are you sucking up to?

Guest

Interesting choice of words. Um, yes, it would be both Channing and and Jonah.

Young Hollywood

What do you guys do when you hang out?

Guest

When I hang out with Channing, we were down at the Super Bowl, and he's got he owns a bar down on Bourbon Street.

Young Hollywood

I think I saw that picture with you with the balcony.

Guest

We were on the balcony. Yes, and it was just like pandemonium. Yeah, it was one of those things that never happens to me. Never. Once in my life.

Young Hollywood

If you could play with any pro player, who would it be?

Guest

Oh, God. I mean, it's got to be what, like Tiger, right?

Chris Tucker

I would play with uh, Tiger.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Tiger.

Young Hollywood

If you could have anybody to play with today, who would it be?

George Lopez

Tiger. Maybe Freddie Couples.

Young Hollywood

So if you could have anybody in the world be your caddy today. Carry your clubs, give you advice, help you out. Who would it be?

Guest

You know, I'd let the Dalai Lama carry my my clubs.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Charles Barkley.

Chris Tucker

Uh, I'd have I'd have Tiger Woods as my caddy.

Young Hollywood

Who would it be?

Guest

Somebody pretty. I was going to say. I was going through my Rolodex of female. But then I was like, she's engaged, she's married, she's married, engaged, engaged. You want you want a caddy? I'm totally caddying for you today. Today is really working out well, I got to say.

Young Hollywood

So you're being very humble because you're here to support George for his event, but you have your own event coming up.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Uh, May 21st, uh, at the Santa Monica Pier, uh, a great night of boxing. We're raising awareness and raising funds that goes towards trying to eradicate, uh, uh, diabetes in kids.

George Lopez

This this guy here is my friend. You're only saying it because I'm hosting your event. There would be four fights. If I don't show up, there's going to be five fights. It's going to be me and the champ. Actually, me and the champ's wife, because I told him I was coming. In fact, my wife hounded this guy.

Sugar Ray Leonard

You did. She did.

George Lopez

Did she? She did. Bernadet did. She text him, she emailed him. She stalked me. Borderline stalked me. But it's for a great cause, man.

Young Hollywood

And who's fighting in this event?

Sugar Ray Leonard

Professional fighters who are trying to reach that goal and trying to, well, not be like Mayweather, but Yeah, they want to be in that tax bracket. They want to be in that Mayweather tax bracket, but they want to pay their taxes. Have you Dammit, I'm I'm sorry, Money. I'm sorry, Floyd.
