Carlos Mencia is one of the most popular and richest Comedian who was born on October 22, 1967 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Comedy Central’s Mind of Mencia was hosted by a Honduran comedian. It ran for four seasons from 2005 to 2008. He has been accused of taking jokes from other comedians throughout his career. This was mocked in South Park’s 2009 episode, where he is shown stealing another’s joke.
Arsenio was among the first to notice his talent and invited him to his late- night show.
Comedian George Lopez also accused Mencia of plagiarizing his material. In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Lopez accused Mencia of plagiarizing 13 minutes of his material in Mencia’s HBO special. He also claimed he had a physical altercation with Mencia over the alleged plagiarism. The only joke that Lopez has publicly specified was stolen and used on Mencia’s HBO special was a Taco Bell joke. Comedian Ted Sarnowski countered this claim, stating that the joke he performed on radio in 1988 was later taken and used without permission by Lopez, the radio station’s resident comic. Sarnowski claims to have given Mencia permission to use the joke.
In 1988, Mitzi Shore, owner of The Comedy Store, suggested that Mencia change his first name from “Ned” to “Carlos” in order to appeal to the Mexican audiences. Mencia performed at venerated LA stand-up venues such as The Comedy Store and The L.A. Cabaret. His success in these venues led to appearances on The Arsenio Hall Show and Buscando Estrellas, where he attained the title “International Comedy Grand Champion.” Then, in 1994, Mencia was chosen to host HBO’s latino comedy showcase Loco Slam.
He was the youngest of seventeen siblings and brothers who was raised on Los Angeles’ east side. He is the father of one son, Lucas, and Amy, his wife. They were married in 2003.
