Carlos Mencia Opens at the Orpheum — And Kills

Eric Andre Goes Full Korean · Jun 22, 2026 Comedy

Bobby Lee reveals that non-comedian Carlos Mencia did six minutes of standup at a sold-out Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis on their tour and genuinely got laughs. The crew plays back footage and Bobby accuses them of adding a laugh track — but the tape tells a different story.

Where this was said

The Crowd Loves Carlos

At 41:40 · chapter starts 38:00

Bobby Lee's only grievance from the Carlos Mencia tour isn't about Carlos at all — it's a brief moment where Carlos said 'say it back' to a woman at an airport who didn't acknowledge his 'excuse me,' which Bobby felt reflected poorly on their party. He quickly clarifies he found the whole tour excellent. The real story is Carlos on stage: he performed six minutes at the Orpheum in Minneapolis in front of thousands of people — a venue Bobby describes as enormous — and genuinely landed jokes. The crew plays back a clip where Carlos gets a huge reaction on a bit about Black crowds in the midwest being different from those in California. Bobby is so stunned by the crowd response that he accuses the production team of adding a laugh track. Multiple replays suggest the laughs were real. Bobby admits, grudgingly, that Carlos was good.
