Irony: Mencia to Host Creative Emmys
Posted Aug 28th 2007 12:53PM by TMZ Staff

Comedian Carlos Mencia has been tapped to host the Creative Arts Emmy Awards next month in Los Angeles. The key word in that sentence is "creative."

Mencia, star of Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia," is frequently accused of stealing his material -- earning the nickname "Carlos Menstealia." Joe Rogan, a comic and former host of "Fear Factor," famously confronted Mencia on stage earlier this year in a 10-minute YouTube video documenting Mencia's alleged theft. Another popular YouTube clip shows a famous bit from the 1983 Bill Cosby special, "Himself," and a strikingly similar performance by Mencia in his 2006 comedy special, "No Strings Attached."

A February Radar magazine article about joke stealing referred to George Lopez's feud with Mencia over a bit he claims Mencia stole and put in his HBO special. Lopez says he threw Mencia against a wall.

What's next, Amy Winehouse writing a self-help book?

Don't they usually get a hot actress to host these things?

Or is that just for the oscars?

Why do cool people like Owen Wilson try to kill themselves when it really should be people like Mencia trying to take their own pathetic lives... pity.

I don't think they air the creative emmys on television. At least as far as I know.

They'll probably just show a piece of it during the actual emmy show. That's what I think usually happens.

Unless one of the cable channels do actually air it. If they do though I don't when and where.

My friend really loves this douchebag and he really loves George Carlin, when i tell my friend of Mencia copying everybody he just says "ALL COMEDIANS DO IT", Im just waiting for Mencia to steal from Carlin.

I think they did it on purpose.
Maybe a statement to say that people actually find Carlos Mencia funny.

I have no idea who these fucking people are, but they do seem to exist.

Funniest thread title in a long time. Good job.

I know why they did this: publicity.

Think about it, have you ever heard of the Creative Arts Emmys before this news article? Because I haven't.
