D.L. Hughley Ain't "Breaking The News" Anymore!
So,D.L. Hughley's show got canceled.That's one black show that I'm not sorry to see go.There were far too many cringe-worthy moments for me!And for others!After an earlier post that I did on his show,a lady suggested that I write CNN to get his show off the air!She was so serious that she left me the contact info & everything!Like me,she felt that his show was distasteful & an embarrassment to blacks!Not everyone can use racial stereotypes to drive home a point & make folks laugh,like Dave Chapelle did!D.L. Hughley is no Chris Rock,either.He's not witty enough to carry off a show like that.I knew it wouldn't be long before that show disappeared!Here's more from Cityfile:
"Comedian D.L. Hughley was pummeled by critics when his weekend talk show debuted on CNN last fall. "What the hell was CNN thinking?" a columnist for AdAge asked after watching the first episode. It remains unclear what was running through the minds of CNN execs when they signed him up for the spectacularly unfunny program featuring painfully awkward interviews. But the network may have come to its senses or at least decided to cut its losses. A source tells us that CNN has decided to cancel the show due to "budgetary constraints." We haven't heard back yet from reps at CNN, although the move wouldn't be surprising given CNN's troubles as of late and the fact that HLN (the network you used to know as Headline News) is now "beating its older sibling CNN in the target 25-54 demo," according to Broadcasting & Cable. We'll let you know as soon as we hear more. Update: It's confirmed: Hughley is out. An official statement from CNN and more detail on his departure below."(END OF EXCERPT)Go here to read the rest!
