More on Carlos Mencia
Wikipedia:

Mencia was a quick success at such venerated LA stand-up venues as The Comedy Store and The L.A. Cabaret. This 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.

Mencia followed up Loco Slam by hosting Funny is Funny! on Galavision in 1998. He would continue to do stand-up, including a very successful tour in 2001 with Freddy Soto and Pablo Francisco, “The Three Amigos.” Mencia also did two half-hour specials on HBO, the second of which won him a CableACE Award for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special. After the release of his first comedy album by Warner Records, Take A Joke America, Mencia performed his break-out performance on Comedy Central Presents in 2002.

By the time his career began to take off in the early 2000s, Mencia was also working as an actor doing guest appearances in the television shows Moesha and The Shield, and starring in the film Outta Time and the animated show The Proud Family.

At the end of 2004, Comedy Central began talks with Carlos Mencia for his own program shortly after their renewal of comedian Dave Chappelle’s contract for Chappelle’s Show in March 2005, prior to Chappelle’s April 28, 2005 departure from the production of Chappelle’s Show and subsequent trip to Africa. In March 2005, Comedy Central announced Mencia’s own half-hour comedy show, Mind of Mencia. The show mixed Mencia’s stand up comedy with sketch comedy, much like the highly popular Chappelle’s Show. The show achieved moderate success in its first season and was brought back for a second season in the spring of 2006, becoming Comedy Central’s second highest rated program behind South Park[3], and again for a third season that summer.

Maxim recently named Mencia as the 12th-worst comedian of all time,[4] although television viewers themselves had voted him into 2nd place of the Top 25 stand-up comics in Comedy Central’s 2006 “Stand Up Showdown”.
