Carlos Mencia: The legendary comedian joins Ethan, Lou & Large Dave for an extended, laugh-out-loud conversation that showcases both his razor-sharp wit and surprising honesty. The full chat ran nearly 30 minutes, but this version trims it down to the 20 best minutes — every second packed with humor, insight, and a few stories that might just catch longtime fans off guard. Lou challenges Carlos with a question that sets the tone for the whole interview: “What would your opening line be if you had to roast your 18-year-old self?” What follows is one of the funniest and most brutally honest answers ever heard on the I-95 Morning Show. Mencia doesn’t hold back as he pokes fun at his own past, reflects on mistakes, and reminds listeners why his blend of self-awareness and fearlessness has kept him relevant for decades. Beyond the laughs, Carlos opens up about his approach to comedy, why authenticity still matters, and how he navigates a world that’s more sensitive than ever. He even sets the record straight on a few personal quirks — including his unapologetic love for fajitas — and explains why stereotypes don’t rattle him the way people might expect. Fans in Connecticut can catch Carlos Mencia live this weekend at Comix Roadhouse at Mohegan Sun. He’ll perform four shows over three nights — Thursday, October 23; Friday, October 24; and Saturday, October 25 — bringing his signature, no-filter comedy to the stage.
