The Carlos Mencia Joke Thief Timeline | Comedy History | Catching You Up w/ Nadav

Producers:   / verynadavshow   This week on Catching You Up w/ Nadav, we touch on Carlos Mencia, one of the most notorious joke thieves in the comedy world. I show you the clip from the "I Am Comic" documentary from 2010, Marc Maron recounting the hit piece Joe Rogan made on Carlos confronting him at The Comedy Store, and Carlos's first appearance on WTF with Marc Maron. Carlos talks about when he was accused of stealing jokes from Paul Mooney and Eddie Griffin. Maron asks Carlos about beefing with Joe Rogan, and being accused of stealing jokes from Ari Shaffir, George Lopez and Bill Cosby. Marc realized Carlos was doing damage control and using Marc and his platform, so recorded another episode where he invited some comics close to Carlos (Willie Barcena and Steve Trevino) to get the real story, along with inviting Carlos back on to address these issues. Marc confronts Carlos on why he decides to bump headliners from performing, stealing jokes, and shares some final thoughts. I also briefly discuss Carlos's appearance on Tigerbelly with Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn and Joe Rogan's reflection on the incident that he shared on Flagrant with Andrew Schulz.
