DC-

I used to laugh like crazy when I would listen to his show when I was living out there. In fact, I was addicted to 640AM KFI...he was great. He would get people so riled up and he'd get so many callers that had NO idea he was pulling their legs...

Hell yeah! Hendrie is brilliant! Unfortunately, he JUST retired after 16 years of doing that show. He said he felt that he had hit the ceiling of terrestrial radio and wanted to focus on TV/Film projects. He is syndicated nationally (NY and many more regions), even still, as they are playing his reruns throught the end of the summer.

KFI is a great station and you can stream it at http://www.kfi640.com
Hendrie left KFI and moved over to their sister station about a year and a half ago. But whatever - the show is over. However, you can join his website and download TONS and TONS and TONS of his stuff from over the years. http://www.philhendrieshow.com
Look! Hendrie in the green! Caller in yellow! :nads:

Yeah, it really makes you respect the legends. Carlin, Pryor, Murphy, Cosby, etc...They were/are the real deal. They took an extension of their own funny personalities and put it on stage times 1,000. I love those guys. I can't stand Eddie Murphy these days but man, for me, it'd be like the second coming if he decided to do stand-up again.

Mencia...hack. The self-appointed "Kings of Comedy"...give me a break....to me, those guys are just a teeny tiny notch above this Mencia guy.

Great post!
 
he said it like on one of the first episodes of his show. he was making a point about where he goes depending where he was what he was called. from mexican cuban to even philipino. he said it beofre so hes not a tool.

Pablo is a freakin' genius... so was Mitch... yeah, I miss that guy also... it's hard to use Mitch's material because the delivery was everything.

"The other night I was at one of those bars where they have the whole place lit with blacklights... 'cause it makes everybody look so cool...

...except for me...

I thought I got that mustard stain out."


My only real beef with Carlos is that he acts like he's much funnier then he is... loud does not equal funny... and when a joke is just okay it's not cool to act like you can hardly contain yourself from laughing at your own mediocre joke.

Funny men don't laugh... (not much anyway).

Having a jar of crap and asking an audience member to smell it and calling the segment, "boy that stinks" is not comedy either.

I totally agree with a lot of what Bill Maher says, but he's another comedian that drives me nuts... he licks his lips with this mischievious grin as if he is so proud of his really mediocre jokes... here's a clue... if you're a comedian and the audience claps instead of laughs... you are a lecturer, not a comedian.

I don't think any comedians can be funny to 100% of the people 100% of the time... I have a lot of comedians who can get me laughing... a few that keep me rolling... and a lot that can't make me crack a smile... but it's all good... humor, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder... unless of course either is at the top of the chart... then we all agree.

well, if we all knew it before, I guess we're guilty for not spreading the word sooner

I still think he's a toolbox

WhyTF would anybody have to "spread" the word of Mencia's racial background to anyone else?

Even though I doubt that you intentionally made this last post to sound racist, it's a prime example of THINKING before you say something. You didnt even research anything for yourself before creating this thread and just letting yourself be lead by the hand by another dumbass.
Just in case you didn't know Nik, Luke Skywalker was really Puerto Rican, don't research it, just tell all your friends.
