Bye-bye Dave, Hello Carlos

Comedy Central announced officially today what most of us were already speculating: Carlos Mencia is the network’s new Dave Chappelle. As you may already know, Dave left Comedy Central in quite a spot when, after a much talked about exodus to Africa, he subsequently revelealed that he would not be returning to continue his hit show. Chappelle, the network’s highest paid star and the one with ratings to write home about, needed a replacement. It seems they’ve been grooming Latino Carlos Mencia to be just that:
The network announced Monday that it has renewed the Latino comedian’s series Mind of Mencia for a second 13-episode run beginning next March. As part of the deal, Mencia will perform in a one-hour stand-up special for Comedy Central and will serve as emcee of a tour that will hit venues in some 30 U.S. markets in 2006.
A feature of VivirLatino, “Lo Que Hay” will feature events from across the country that we think will interest our VL readers.

As a follow-up to some recent posts on California gubernatorial candidates’ courting of the Latino vote via Spanish-language ad campaigns and town hall meetings, I offer you some excerpts from a piece from today’s edition of the LA Daily News:
The governor taped a town-hall forum on Spanish-language Univision that aired statewide over the weekend, even as opponents launched their first Spanish-language TV ads featuring Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa attacking the governor’s proposals.The high-profile events are just the latest campaign efforts aimed at courting the 2 million Latinos registered to vote in California, accounting for 14 percent of the statewide electorate.

As the Miami New Times cover shows in this post’s photo, Wilma is not one of our favorites down here. In Miami, exactly one week after Hurricane Wilma hit, I am reflecting on what went well and what didn’t.
Wearing Your Vote

Political t-shirts are so old school. Forget wearing your vote on a button on your sleeve. Put your favorite candidate on your underwear! That’s where it’s at. The Daily Gotham, that hearts NYC Democratic candidate for Mayor, Freddy Ferrer, is offering up tangitas urging peeps to “Vote por Fernando”. No word if the Ferrer camp has endorsed the pantaletas or if Bloomberg is launching a counter campaign. Bloomers for Bloomberg anyone?
