Mind of Mencia is an American comedy television series on the cable channel Comedy Central. Hosted by comedian Carlos Mencia, it aired over the course of four seasons from July 6, 2005 to July 23, 2008.


The first season of Mind of Mencia ran from July 6, 2005 to September 28, 2005, premiering on Comedy Central with an initial order of ten episodes. Soon after that the series was renewed for a second season, set to air in winter of 2006. Season 2 premiered on March 22, 2006. The first season was released on DVD on March 21, 2006 to coincide with the premiere. The second season became Comedy Central's ninth highest rated program.


In a May 2006 Wall Street Journal article, Mencia said he initially resisted requests by his network to take a deal to do a stand-up comedy album on the Comedy Central label, but would now likely appear on one.


The series ended in 2008 after four seasons when Mencia decided against filming a fifth season, explaining "It would have felt repetitive and redundant." There's a lot of different doors that are opening for me...I truly have no idea what's next."


REAR COVER


Watch twelve merciless episodes from the first season of Comedy Central's new hit show where Carlos takes on everything from white people to black people to brown people to slightly tan people. Be warned, in Mencia's mind, no one's safe from his raging rants and whip-smart insights.
