Andrew Santino steers the tribunal to its conclusion. After polling the jury — including show producer Andreas — the group finds Carlos innocent on the Robin Williams charge (the crowd did laugh, even if Bobby's god-mic contributions did the heavy lifting) but emphatically guilty on allowing a stranger into the private dinner and green room. The sentence is creative: Carlos must perform 12 minutes of stand-up comedy cold — no walkout music, no hype introduction, no god mic from Bobby. A stagehand will say 'Ladies and gentlemen, Carlos Herrera,' and that's it. The show must run on its own merits. The punishment is set for Friday night in Minnesota. Carlos, to his credit, accepts the challenge with competitive bravado, predicting he'll do well precisely because expectations are low.
The Carlos Tribunal Verdict
After a full mock-court proceeding, Carlos is found innocent on the Robin Williams charge and guilty on letting a stranger into Bobby's private dinner. Andrew Santino sets a new punishment: 12 minutes of stand-up cold, no music, no god-mic — just Carlos alone on stage.
