Sean drops his final fact-bomb: Google Images was invented because of Jennifer Lopez. When she walked the red carpet in the green Versace dress, search volume for images of it overwhelmed Google — which had no way to display image results. Co-founder Sergey Brin has publicly confirmed this. Lopez laughs and wonders if she's owed some of their money. The hosts pivot to plugging her upcoming work: My Big Fat Greek Romance (Netflix), written by Brett Goldstein specifically for her, reuniting her with Edward James Olmos (who played her father in Selena and does again here). She also reveals she's currently editing the J.Lo Show — a Vegas residency filmed for Paramount+ and CBS that combines her hits with musical theater influences. The hosts wrap with genuine affection, agree Lopez is a megastar in every sense, and send her off before the closing credits and final sponsor reads for Principal and Harvey AI roll.
When Lopez wore the plunging green Versace dress, the internet broke — and Google had nowhere to send the image searches. According to co-founder Sergey Brin, the overwhelming demand for that single image directly led to the creation of Google Images.
Lopez's new Netflix comedy My Big Fat Greek Romance — written by Brett Goldstein specifically for her — reunites her with Edward James Olmos, who played her father in Selena and now plays her father again. When Olmos walked into the first screening and delivered his opening line, the audience burst into applause.
