Released via COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment, "Mind of Mencia: Season 3 Uncensored" DVD arrives in stores nationwide on Tuesday, October 23 and will also be available at http://shop.comedycentral.com.
"Mind of Mencia: Season 3 Uncensored" DVD is a two-disc set featuring all 14 episodes. Bonus materials are completely uncensored and include audio commentary and over 30-minutes of deleted scenes.
Since its third season premiere, the series has averaged 1.5 million viewers (P2+) and was the number one program in its basic cable timeslot (Sundays at 10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) among the key male demo (M18-24). "Mind of Mencia" is also a top three series in prime among COMEDY CENTRAL�s original programming.
Viewers can expect more from the mind of comedian Carlos Mencia as COMEDY CENTRAL has ordered a fourth season of the weekly hit, "Mind of Mencia." The series is slated to premiere in the spring of 2008.
Shot in studio and on location, "Mind of Mencia" is based on Mencia's unique point of view of the world including such topics as ethnic stereotypes, race relations, immigration, war, patriotism, capitalism and family with brutal honesty and unrelenting provocation. The show includes Mencia's comments on pop culture and current events, man-on-the-street interviews, commercial parodies, as well as interaction with the studio audience.
Currently, Mencia stars opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in "The Heartbreak Kid," a DreamWorks film directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, as Uncle Tito, the sarcastic and colorful manager of the hotel where Stiller�s character stays on his honeymoon with the woman he hastily married (Malin Akerman), slated for release next month. Last summer, Mencia completed the highly successful "The Punisher Tour," a sold-out headlining stand-up tour of over 60 cities. The tour sold more than 270,000 tickets, making it the biggest tour of any Latino comedian to date.
Credits for "Mind of Mencia" include Carlos Mencia and Robert Morton as executive producers with Lee Kernis and Tim Sarkes from Brillstein Entertainment Partners serving as producers. Zoe Friedman is the executive in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.
