Comedian Donnell Rawlings admitted to once stealing a joke. During his conversation with Vlad, Rawlings discussed the impact of Carlos Mencia's career derailment due to joke-stealing allegations and the beef between Mencia and Joe Rogan, which resulted in Rogan boycotting the Comedy Store for a significant period of time. Rawlings elaborated on the unwritten rule within comedy that a joke isn't officially "owned" until it's been told on TV. He also revealed he'd had his own jokes and delivery style stolen, insisting this was a spur to create jokes based on his personal experiences, which are harder to mimic. In a candid moment, Rawlings confessed to using a joke from fellow comic Rich Vos early in his career, stating he only used it once due to desperate circumstances. He concluded that the focus should be less on joke theft and more on creating stronger material.
