Episode Details

Comedian Carlos Mencia faces serious legal trouble after being charged with 12 felonies for allegedly failing to pay over $300K in state taxes on nearly $9 million in earnings from 2019 to 2024. The case, brought by California’s new Business Tax Fraud Unit, labels him one of the state’s biggest tax scofflaws — a bold claim from DA Nathan Hochman. Mencia, known for his Comedy Central hit “Mind of Mencia” and racially charged comedy, hasn’t pleaded guilty or commented publicly. Ironically, he once praised taxes on his own show. Despite past controversies including joke theft accusations — which he denies — Mencia is still touring, with shows booked in Southern California and Las Vegas this week.
