DL Hughley Has A Satirical News Show On CNN!

D.L. Hughley will be on CNN with his own sardonic news program. According to the NY Times,

"Just 10 days ago CNN announced that Mr. Hughley would be the host of a new comedy-news show, “D. L. Hughley Breaks the News,” which has its premiere Saturday at 10 p.m. Eastern time.

For CNN, which prefers to emphasize its trustworthiness over, say, its hilariousness, the show represents the channel’s belated (and risky) entry into the well-established genre of news delivered with a satirical smile. Still being assembled at press time, the first episode of “Breaks the News” will offer a mix of sketches and stand-up comedy, taped segments and an interview in which a former Bush administration spokesman endorses Senator Barack Obama."

I really liked him when he was doing stand-up & his performance in "The Original Kings Of Comedy"! But sometimes he says things that cause outrage & controversy! A lot of black people were offended when he chimed in on what Don Imus said about "nappy-headed hos" in reference to the women from the Rutgers Basketball team. He basically said that they were ugly & nappy-headed which took Don Imus's comments even further. Here I have posted what he said to Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" that sparked some furor in the black community. The next video is DL Hughley's response to the people who were protesting against him.
