Send us Fan Mail Comedian Carlos Mencia is best known for his raw and unfiltered style of comedy, which he has showcased to great success on comedy stages, and in television shows and movies. He has recently gone back to his comedic roots on his No Hate No Fear comedy tour, sharing his newest material with smaller, more intimate audiences. As a comedian who finds the hilarious irony in both the day-to-day and the newsworthy events, Carlos is never lacking in material; he recently shot two stand-up specials due out later this year. Carlos will also reprise his role as Felix Boulevardez in Disney+'s "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder," the revival of the groundbreaking animated series "The Proud Family." The show is heading into its second season. Mencia comes from a humble background, born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the 17th of 18 children. His parents sent him to the United States when he was three months old, where he was raised in the Maravilla Projects in Los Angeles by his aunt and uncle. In his early teens, Mencia moved back to Honduras. When Mencia returned to Los Angeles, he showed such educational prowess that he pursued a career in engineering. But an amateur night at the world-renowned Laugh Factory comedy club would change his path, and a career in comedy began. He became a regular at The Comedy Store, performing nightly. After he found success on the Los Angeles comedy circuit, Mencia was named International Comedy Grand Champion from Buscando Estrellas (the Latin version of Star Search), eventually landing on shows such as "In Living Color," "The Arsenio Hall Show," and "An Evening at the Improv." Mencia continued his journey up the comedy ladder by headlining stand-up tours and starring in stand-up TV specials. In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for his HBO special. Comedy Central soon took notice and the show "Mind of Mencia" went into development. Created by Carlos and comedy producer Robert Morton, the comedy series featured Carlos and his crew with their merciless mix of up-close stand-up, unconventional street interviews, and shocking commercial parodies. The show was an instant hit, and propelled Mencia to the comedy elite. After the first season, Comedy Central signed Mencia back for an original stand-up special, "Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached," the first Comedy Central Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status. Throughout the four seasons of “Mind of Mencia,” Carlos never stopped performing live, headlining shows across the country and internationally. “Comedy is my art, and fans are my passion,” he has said. Always looking to give back to those fans, Mencia has entertained troops serving overseas for USO tours in Turkey, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Qatar, Afghanistan, and many other countries. Later, Mencia went on to star on the big screen. He starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in "The Heartbreak Kid," and in the family-comedy "Our Family Wedding," alongside America Ferrara and Forrest Whitaker. www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn This episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend Ned Mencia. You probably know him as "Carlos" Mencia. Ned and I explore the raw intersection of comedy, truth, and personal evolution in a way only the two of us can. Ned opens up about his formative experiences on stage, from the initial realization of comedy's transformative power to the enduring influence of Paul Mooney's fearless performances. Listen in as he recounts the pivotal shift from simply telling jokes to sharing his unfiltered truths, and the challenges of being a Latino comic. Our candid conversation continues with Ned reflecting on the divisive nature of comedy and his own path to maturity within the often-unforgiving environment of stand-up. He shares personal stories that highlight the industry's shifting dynamics and the struggle for recognition and respect, all while navigating the complexities of public perception and the high stakes of staying authentic amidst controversy. In this conversation, we tackle the weighty topics of resilience in the face of adversity, the impact of CANCEL CULTURE, and the ongoing process of self-reflection and growth. Ned's journey is a testament to the power of personal transformation and the importance of embracing change, as he shares his vision for the future and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. Tune in for a heartwarming and thought-provoking discussion that reaffirms the necessity of evolving, both on and off the stage. ----- In this episode, we discuss...

We revisit a conversation that Rick Sanchez had with his old friend, comedian Carlos Mencía, where they covered a variety of Latino Truths and topics. From the negative stereotypes in Hollywood to being excluded from the national conversation, and even to the lack of Latino Superheroes. Mencía was very forthcoming and honest about the joke-stealing scandal that rocked, and almost ended his career 16 years ago and how he struggled and fought to overcome it. Sanchez and Mencía concluded that outliers like them always seem to land on their feet after setbacks like this because it is a part of their DNA to have to fight and work hard for everything they have.
