In this clip, Vlad spoke to DL Hughley about his sit-down with Carlos Mencia, and DL Hughley joined the conversation expressing his affection for Mencia and his sympathy for how Mencia's career took a fall after allegations of joke stealing surfaced. Both Hughley and Vlad noted that 'cancelling' is a common experience in the world of comedy and does not necessarily signal the end of one's career, as demonstrated by Mencia's continued work in smaller clubs. They also tackled the issue of joke stealing in the comedy industry. They suggested that all comedians are influenced by others and everyone copies jokes to some extent. DL Hughley stressed that such 'stealing' is often a matter of coincidence or subconscious influence rather than intentional plagiarism. To hear more, including DL speaking about Dennis Miller making accusations about him, hit the above clip.

I went to a comedy club in Sacramento back on 1997. Carlos Mencia was saying a bunch of anti-black and anti rap jokes because the crowd was mostly white. Then I saw him on tv months later being all pro-black at a black comedy show. Every since then I’ve been like F that mofo Carlos Mencia.

No he wasn't the first comedian to get cancelled, it was Andrew Dice Clay who was cancelled in 1993. He lost everything for his controversial stand-up, he had different groups protest his shows, and he was cancelled from Sitcoms, television appearances, he lost his sponsors, movie roles. He had to make a come back 25 years later. He was the biggest stand-up comedian star in the world. Breaking attendance records, selling 80,000 to 70,000 set arena, selling out MSG, he was on all the iconic talk shows, late night and daytime, commercials, movie appearances, games shows... for 5 years he ruled the comedy world. Until his agency dropped him and he lost everything. He was the very first comedian to ever get cancelled. For his controversial comments.

@@-Jeo- He said a lot things about women, the women's groups came after him and he was saying homophobic stuff...I was around back then and I loved him, he was hilarious ASF! People don't understand you had sensitive people back then too. Plus it was a very religious era, Christianity took over the country back then, We had a Republican President, George Bush Sr. And it was a very conservative time and religious groups came after him, the Pope condemned him, he was basically getting it from all sides. Women's groups would yell at him and protest. Back then if you said anything about religion it was over for you. Look what happened to (Sinead O' Connor) that singer, from the early 90's, her career was destroyed for disrespecting the Pope because back then she was protesting the abuse of young boys in Catholic churches...she was ahead of her time. And the whole world came on her and she lost everything and never recovered. She knew what them Prest were doing to young boys for decades ...now everyone knows she was right the whole time because 2 decades later the Catholic Church was experiencing there own controversy when thousands of men came forward saying they were raped and sexually abused by Prest throughout the decades. Andrew Dice Clay Even had the president back then Condemned him. He had so many groups attack him. It was really pitty and silly he was a well known raunchy standup comedian...he was ahead of his time. So you had your wokeism back then too but we just didn't see the whole scope of it because there was no social media back then...back then people were still cancelled but it was more on the low, they would lose roles, and never get hired for work. Andrew Dice Clay literally disappeared from public eye around 1993....and he popped up in 2012 on podcasts again. He is now doing stand-up again and movies as he has been welcome with open arms and forgiven. He was called women hater, Misogynistic, sexist, homophobic, religion hater, women would walk out of his shows in droves. He had different groups protest his shows and cause chaos outside. He was being interrogated in interviews. He even broke down on stage during a stand-up set, he broke down on a interview because he was losing everything and being blackballed. The pressure got to him and he lost everything...his money opportunities were taken from him and he had the same experience as Carlos...he had to do stand up in small bars well crawling his way back. He made a big comeback and played Lady Gagas father in the 2018 movie (A Star Is Born) starring Brandley Cooper.

Carlos mencia was not just accused of stealing jokes. There was a video shown of the people doing the original joke, and then him doing it sometime after. The biggest one, and most famous comedian that he has stolen from, is Bill Cosby. I've actually saw the special with a joke came from, and it was in the 80s. And Carlos did the same joke in the 90s.

Heavy? Bro if you don't know what happened between the Rogan Mencia thing you aint heavy. Mencia destroyed his career by faking who he was. He is a German-Honduran named Ned, who said he was Mexican. His routine and standups where about something he was not. On top of that he just took his openings acts jokes and just put Mexican in it. His own fans dumped him. His numbers dropped because it became known he was doing ''Mexican-face''. The only one who suffered at that point was Joe Rogan. The Comedy-Store in L.A., the biggest club in the industry, banned him for 7years almost. They both had the same Agency representing then, and they dumped Rogan in favor of Mencia because at the time he was making more money for them. But Joe had other things going for him, on top with the podcast he connected with his fan-base that made JRE today.

[@lidjtafari8717]

Dennis is talentless

[@Bubs2016]

I'm curious how DL he feels about Dennis Miller...

[@christianjames92]

I'm going to be real. The Carlos thief thing never made sense to me because the only real bit that seemed like he lifted was the Bill Cosby bit and there's comedians that have bits that I swore I heard before word for word. It's not hard to have a premise and tell the joke similarly with the premise. Like the Ari Shamir border joke they claim Carlos stole someone when that shit was first happening did a compilation with comedians telling the same joke verbatim to ow Ari said it and they did it before and after Ari. I think Carlos was probably a jerk when he was coming up and bumped a lot of the comedians who eventually became headliner level comedians and they all jumped on the joke thief stuff to get him out of the community.

[@bigglilwayne7050]

My takeaway from this: joke stealers have admiration for each other....

[@kylehdavis]

You be the judge. Looks pretty clear cut - D.L. Hughley stole the joke. Just like Steve Harvey… Dennis Miller: “Imus to me looks like a werewolf who only had enough energy to get halfway through the transformation. [...] It looks like he said I'll put this off till the next full moon. I'm just going to sit here like this.” The O’Reilly Factor 4/11/2007 D.L. Hughley: “Don Imus. [...] That m***er looks like a werewolf that didn't finish changing. Like he was just about to turn into a werewolf and the moon went down. ‘Sh**! Where's my cowboy hat?’” Unapologetic 9/2007

[@fundifferent1]

The comedy world is super competitive. THey are ALWAYS sizing each other up, studying each other's approaches, comparing themselves, etc. When you're looking that hard you're going to see whatever you want. 90% of the time comedians are accused of stealing jokes it's just clearly they were inspired by the same things. It's like if musicians had the nerve to accuss each other of stealing their songs every time they heard the same beat, chords or similar lyrics.

@@branflakee4257 not exactly just saying I think at this point especially after the many years have passed and Carlos going on Tiger Belly and what a disaster that was. Carlos if he wanted to could truly put it behind him and do his thing none of the people who dislike him have ever said he wasn’t funny or talented. I think how DL put it is spot on he took it to heart and shut himself down. I mean the crazy thing people don’t realize is after Joe confronted him at the Comedy store the most important club in comedy history he got banned not Carlos like he could have kept going it wasn’t till after a while that non comedy insiders started picking up on the rumors and accusations. Idk I’ve watched a lot of his interviews and just seems to me guilty or not he is acting like a guilty person who instead of living his life and working for more success he spends his time defending himself to his detriment.

There's a difference between using the same topic or subject matter to set up a joke & reciting someone else's bit word-for-word.

[@maxmeier532]

the problem isnt stealing the joke, the problem is the consequences. If a hot comedian stills bits, those bits are his in the mind of the audience and the guy he stole it from basically cant do them anymore. So it's really like stealing someone's ability to put food on his table and have a career.

[@goodfella1401]

It's an art form. The more time passes the more times people will "steal" jokes. If a comedian only has a few jokes that gives him the ability to put food on his table than he's not a very good writer and comedian

[@jamingjohnson2275]

For the life of me I cannot understand why any comedian would be on the side of Carlos mencia, when it is clear that he has stolen other comedians jokes. One of the biggest comedians that he has stolen from is Bill Cosby. Just the idea of someone stealing something for you, that you have, brainstormed over, rewrite, worked out for hours, if not days or years, performed is the utmost disrespect. And I think that anyone who has done this should be called out, and they should be canceled. Especially if they have done it on numerous occasions, and they are known for doing it.

The late great Patrice O'Neal had an interesting take on Carlos which provides a possible motivation. He said that Carlos became addicted to killing an audience with laughter. He said that in order to grow as a comedian you have to learn how to tell a joke and not have the audience laugh. You have to become comfortable with silence. Essentially, you have to embrace bombing, and Carlos never learned to do that.

Vlad he stole, his own employees call him a thief. Everyone knows this, you got conned, you’re a sucker.

[@Ivan-bj3rv]

The problem with Carlos is that he refused to take any accountability.

[@mediascissor2989]

Fuck Vlod tawkin bout first cancelled, Lenny Bruce got arrested multiple times. THAT'S cancelled.

"What a game for Green Bay’s QB! We haven’t seen Vikings get destroyed by Love like this since Sigrid the Haughty burned down her own royal hall with suitors Harald Grenske of Norway and Vissavald of the Kievan Rus inside." -Dennis Miller

Look, Carlos stole jokes. Everyone knew for years. Doesn't mean he's a horrible person. But he did it. And he never copped to it and acted like a victim the whole time. He's a baby. That's the bigger issue.

[@williamhouston6715]

Dennis Miller isn't funny never has been

[@oravlamartin5091]

The problem with what Vlad is saying is there are too many examples of Mencía stealing jokes time and time again. And many comedians saw him do it first hand. Even his friend bobby. No one ever accuses Dave Chappelle of stealing jokes or bill Burr or Louie CK.

[@Necron990]

Dennis Miller? Funny? On MNF he was, but not by design

[@jakek6728]

He deserved everything he got. He stole so many jokes word for word without any care in the world. He was exposed and lost his career he built off the backs of others

[@eric1302]

Which jokes? Stop regurgitating what others say.

[@jakek6728]

@@eric1302 it's funny you say I'm regurgitating what others say when that's clearly what you are doing. Anyone with internet and 5 minutes can find countless jokes he's stolen. He didn't get called out for no reason. The backlash he got wasn't for no reason.

Jackie Mason got cancelled in 1964.

[@dannyb271tx]

Who

[@donaldheardjr.2394]

I think also that Carlos was calling Mexicans the B word and carrying himself as one, but in IR he's half white and half Honduras.

[@edgelord8644]

I dont F with this DL take NOPE! Carlos was an arrogant race baiter who stole a whole shows premise nevermind a joke or two. he never had finesse or subtlety in his jokes they were just Chapelle show jokes with an accent .

[@marby.]

I'd say Kramer was the first to get cancel

[@seankazmi3129]

At that time he was accused, Joe Rogan didn’t have the same influence as he does now, especially when social media wasn’t around

[@todddorsey9497]

No Dice was the first to get cancelled

[@vinylgrailny8076]

how did Joe Rogannot get mentioned once by DL Hughley lol

Comedians are some of the biggest haters of each other. As soon as one makes it the hate comes.

[@bryansmith1555]

In his past life, vlad was a high school girl.. gossip makes him so excited

[@Thunderbolt210]

Bro HE WAS STEALING ENTIRE PEOPLES BITS FOR YEARS!!! Gleefully doing it to with no remorse. he multiple opportunities to come clean and just reset and he never did, and like now hindsight and time we are acting like he was wronged?!?! Carlos at his height was really fucked up person, time has humbled him but let’s not act like it wasn’t deserved

[@patrickbaginski]

Vlad for someone that messes with comedy “heavy”… u don’t know a damn thing about comedy , trust me

[@talawhite]

I’ve heard DL steal jokes

[@soioioioioioio34]

They all do. Funny thing is the comedians take themselves really seriously. Yet what they do for a loving isnt supposed to be so serious its comedy. These clowns are sad
