How many dates will Mencia actually do on the O&A tour?

[MikeB]

It is official, Carlos Mencia is doin 3 shows for the O&A Traveling Virus. I have no doubt he is not going to be welcomed with open arms by any of the Opie and Anthony fans. I personally don't like him even without him stealing material.
How many of the three shows will he actually do?

[Don Stugots]

none and done, i hope. did they announce him?

[MJ]

Yeah, and he's going to be in Detroit which is the show i'm going to. I'll be sitting pretty close to the stage so I'll be doing my part to civilly make sure he can't get any jokes out.

I'm not so good at the heckling in any environment, but this Mencia thing has gotten me more enraged than most things.

I am a huge stand-up fan, have been studying it for years and guys like him make my blood boil.

[cupcakelove]

I don't think he will make it through the first show, if he even comes out at all.

[Tenbatsuzen]

You know this is a setup for Rogan to come out and punk him. Or maybe I'm roooooning it.

[Dan 'Hampton]

I'm amazed he'd even show. Just hearing him on OnA replays before "the incident" makes me cringe.

[Crippler]

I can't check the O&A site from work to know for sure, but I'll bet Philly isn't one of the cities he's signed up for...but that would be interesting to watch.

I'm lost on this one. What was the incident?

[SPeeDy_Freak]

I cetrainly won't be attending if he's on the lineup.

Can't stand that talentless theif.

vs. Rogan

[JustJon]

Are he and Rogan scheduled for any of the same dates?

[underdog]

Rogan actually isn't scheduled for any shows yet. He said on O&A that he'll be at a bunch, but there were like 2 dates he couldn't do. The Jones Beach one and one other one.

[Death Metal Moe]

BEEEEEEEEEENER!!!

Mencia sucks.

[Death Metal Moe]

But on the the question at hand.

I think he'lll do 1, get harassed and booed so much he won't want to do the rest. Then O&A will bitch at their fans for doing it, even though they get a huge kick out of keeping the fight going.

[ScottFromGA]

none and done, i hope. did they announce him?

yea...he was announced and booed while CSK was announcing....

i personally hope this beaner doesnt show....but hell, i wont be at any of the shows so why does it matter to me?

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Mencia is a friend of the show, and I think that stands regardless of what people say about him. O&A are much closer to him than they are with, say, Dane Cook, who half-heartedly phoned in for ten minutes last time he was on the show. Opie spent time with him during their hiatus from radio, and they get along well in that regard. So I wouldn't be shocked to see him on their show exempting any personal problems between him and O&A. Recall they have a cushy thing going with Leary too, whom Rogan has condemned as joke-thief many times over.

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT TTTTT~!!!

[Dougie Brootal]

1 show...if that!

[Johnny Manf]

i never liked him either, before the joke stealing stuff.
i always thought his show was terrible and from what i saw of his standup, i hated it.

i hope he doesnt do the camden show but then again it would be pretty funny watching him try to get through all the drunken boos and comments being yelled out.

i change my mind, i hope he comes to camden.

[JPMNICK]

no way mencia would agree to that, and I do not think O&A, and the tour managment would let that happen.

he will however be booed 10x worse than bill burr.

[Soupy_Dreck]

neither (rogan/mencia) is confirmed for camden. at least not when I bought my tickets this morning.

yeah, i was also going to say he's been a friend of the show for a long time. he was on their last tour and was was warmly received. i don't see there being any problems at all.

[Mike Teacher]

He closed the traveling virus show at the PNC Arts Center; there was quite an exodus when he went on, not sure how many, but it seemed many were leaving, for whatever reason.

[MikeB]

I have no doubt there will be a Ned chant at every event he is at. I don't know if O&A really find Mencia funny. Based on listening to the show they probably don't think Dane is funny but they still try to have him on as much as they can most likely because of his fame just like mr. mind of mencia.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

No, I think they are personal friends at this point with Mencia. Opie spent time with Mencia's family sometime between WNEW and XM. Doesn't mean there won't be a fallout, and I am certain Anthony has no interest in his humor, but whatever.

They also don't try to get Dane Cook all the time... they are good buddies with Louis C.K. and they were playing clips of Cook doing Louis' material... I don't imagine they are tearing out their hair to be around Dane. Their last conversation w/him was uncomfortable and had zero chemistry...they're much closer to Bob Kelly and only know Dane in proxy to Bob. Even if 100% of O&A fans hate Mencia, O&A still have some chemistry with Mencia due to whatever goes on off the air between 'em, which speaks volumes of the differences in their relationship between Mencia versus w/Cook.

Chemistry....always a tough subject in high school....

For those that have gone to the virus shows with him thus far, what has the reaction been for him? I saw some of the clip from DC this past weekend but you cant tell if the crowd is booing him or a group of people.

A section of the crowd (10-15%) booed him like crazy, and eventually walked out. Mencia acknowledged it, basically told them to fuck off and leave, then went on with his set. I thought he was fantastic, and handled it as well as he possibly could, though it was a mistake to have him close the show instead of Jimmy (who was by far the crowd favorite and who most people came to see).

In my view, the haters came across as internet fanboys who think they're too smart for the room. Everyone else was just there for a good time, and Mencia gave them that.

[citymedic27]

Menica was supposed to be at Mansfield, and he was a no show. I was kind of dissapointed. I dunno

[Dougie Brootal]

i saw him in dc last week. i think it was more like 25-30% booed him but maybe cuz i was in that group. we left after he started talking about how everyone who booed him worked at mcdonalds. yech! and we got in line to meet everyone. we were in the first 25 people to meet o&a and jimmy, etc because we left during mencia. i dont enjoy his comedy but it was still cool to meet him. and i told him he wasnt my favorite but he gets my respect for having the balls to go up there and do it, cuz i know i dont. he said thanks ,signed my ticket and i left.
