![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Comedian Carlos Mencia has been tapped to host the Creative Arts Emmy Awards next month in Los Angeles. The key word in that sentence is "creative."
Mencia, star of Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia," is frequently accused of stealing his material -- earning the nickname "Carlos Menstealia." Joe Rogan, a comic and former host of "Fear Factor," famously confronted Mencia on stage earlier this year in a 10-minute YouTube video documenting Mencia's alleged theft. Another popular YouTube clip shows a famous bit from the 1983 Bill Cosby special, "Himself," and a strikingly similar performance by Mencia in his 2006 comedy special, "No Strings Attached."
A February Radar magazine article about joke stealing referred to George Lopez's feud with Mencia over a bit he claims Mencia stole and put in his HBO special. Lopez says he threw Mencia against a wall.

All I know is I love his show. He is an equal opportunity offender. Noone is safe from his jokes. He makes the funniest expressions too.
who the hell is carlos mencia?
unfunny, thieving douchebag i guess
i recently saw him at shoreline amphitheater in mountain view, california. which i was surprised that his other guest at the comedy jam were funnier than him. i still like george lopez.
#3 JoeS... Can you???? It seems like you don't!!! It's LOSER!!! Ahhhh Some people... Ha ha.
In regards to Carlos Mencia, I used to like his comedy but not anymore. I love George Lopez. He's THE best :)
Carlos is SO funny!!! The best comedian ever! The only reason George Lopez and Joe Rogan are mad is because Carlos can tell their jokes better then they can, they are so jealous! Carlos you RULE!!!
8. He's illegal! Dirty Mexican!

There you go showing your ignorance! Get your facts straight then talk!!!! Argh.. He's Honduran not Mexican.. Unless you're another American who thinks that Honduras is part of Mexico like most of you ignorants do! Ha ha and no, I'm not Mexican nor Honduran!
I too was at the Comedy Jam @ the shoreline in mountain view.. and i have to disagree.
HE WAS BY FAR THE BEST ACT THERE!
Carlos did NOT steal any jokes from anyone. TMZ needs to show the link of the youtube video that shows the REAL story... they show the joke that Mencia "stole" being told by various other comedians...INCLUDING THE NOT TOO TALENTED GEORGE LOPEZ. Rogan will always be known as a fear factor lame host....never as a comedian. I'm excited to see Carlos host the event....
let the hating begin...lol
#10 Me. No not ignorant ...just pissing people like YOU off. And it worked. You're too easy.
Ha ha comics think their work is so important. It is not a craft. They are jesters for our amusement nothing more.
