Comedy Central Picks Mencia as Chappelle Replacement

“With Dave Chappelle giving no indication that he’s going to reverse the Houdini routine he pulled last spring, Comedy Central has decided to cast its lot with replacement comic Carlos Mencia.

The network announced Monday that it has renewed the Latino comedian’s series Mind of Mencia for a second 13-episode run beginning next March. As part of the deal, Mencia will perform in a one-hour stand-up special for Comedy Central and will serve as emcee of a tour that will hit venues in some 30 U.S. markets in 2006.”
