Joe Rogan became my hero the other day when he went crazy on Carlos Mencia onstage at the Comedy Store. Mencia is a well-known joke thief in the comedy industry and Rogan was one comedian who had the balls to call him out on it. It was like something out of You Got Served as Rogan verbally kicked Mencia’s ass and the crowd cheered him on. The video, which has been circulating the internet, apparently got Rogan banned from the Comedy Store. That’s so insane! So, someone who steals other people’s jokes, yells annoying catch-phrases and brings little to the table in terms of talent can perform there, but not the person who stands up to said hack? I knew Rogan was a funny dude, but this makes him totally awesome.
By the way, “Carlos Mencia” isn’t even his real name. His dad is German and his mom is Honduran. His real name is Ned.
