In this clip, Vlad spoke to DL Hughley about his sit-down with Carlos Mencia, and DL Hughley joined the conversation expressing his affection for Mencia and his sympathy for how Mencia's career took a fall after allegations of joke stealing surfaced. Both Hughley and Vlad noted that 'cancelling' is a common experience in the world of comedy and does not necessarily signal the end of one's career, as demonstrated by Mencia's continued work in smaller clubs. They also tackled the issue of joke stealing in the comedy industry. They suggested that all comedians are influenced by others and everyone copies jokes to some extent. DL Hughley stressed that such 'stealing' is often a matter of coincidence or subconscious influence rather than intentional plagiarism.
