Biography
Mencia was born ?Ned Arnel Mencia?[1], the seventeenth of eighteen children in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. His father, Roberto Holness, is from Honduras, and his mother, Magdelena Mencia, is from Mexico. He was raised in East Los Angeles, California by his aunt Consuelo and uncle Pablo Mencia. "[O]ut of respect for his father"[2], he went by the name Ned Holness as a boy. By his own admission, staying out of trouble was difficult growing up, but with the help of his family he excelled in school and stayed out of gangs. He majored in electrical engineering at California State University, Los Angeles, but left early to pursue a career in comedy after a successful performance at open mic night at The Laugh Factory. He also has an older brother named Joseph Mencia who is the co-host of Mind of Mencia.
