Free Republic

July 4th is U.S. Independence Day. But D.L. Hughley, the comedian and author, suggests in his new book that all U.S. holidays "be put on a probationary period to ascertain their relevance and value to All Americans, acknowledging that days off are nice and that mattress sales must occur ..." His book, co-written with Doug Moe of the Upright Citizens Brigade, is Surrender, White People! Our Unconditional Terms for Peace. "I used to always tell this joke about, well, today, as we celebrate our Independence Day, well, not all of us," Hughley says. "Some of us weren't free for a...

On Tuesday night, outside the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, TMZ asked comedian D.L. Hughley if First Lady Melania Trump should have been booed at the Baltimore Youth Summit where she spoke about America’s opioid crisis. The reporter asked, “Do you think she deserved that type of treatment.” Hughley said, “I do. Her husband despaired Baltimore, and he sent his woman in which I think is cowardly.”

The mom of a 10-year-old boy received the shock of her life recently: a phone call from her local juvenile court, explaining that her son would be charged with aggravated assault, months after a playground game of dodgeball at his elementary school. “I couldn’t believe it,” Cameishi Lindley, mother of soon-to-be-fifth-grader Bryce Lindley, told 7 Action News about the call, received from the Wayne County Juvenile Court in Canton, Mich., on July 24. Now, because the boy being punished is black and the boy who was injured is white, some critics are calling the incident racist, while others — including...

"It literally look[s] like Nazi Germany -- it really did. I make -- said that point. It just does not seem -- like not only are we not welcome -- not only are we not welcome, but they don’t even care what we think."

In this clip CNN host DL Hughley says the Republican convention "literally looked like Nazi Germany." RNC Chairman Michael Steele responds....."you're right." Not exactly the spirited rejoinder that one might expect from the newly elected RNC chief. I don't want to be too tough on Mr. Steele here. I don't think he really thinks that DL Hughley is right. Maybe he just isn't that good at thinking on his feet, or, as he said yesterday, doesn't "articulate" well sometimes. If that's the case, perhaps he needs to stay away from snake pits like CNN and stay behind a podium in...

[video] You may not have known this, but if you’re a Republican, you’re a Nazi. At least that’s what CNN’s D.L. Hughley says. You hate Jews, Gypsies, blacks, homosexuals, gays and damn near everyone else. You want to ship them all off in railroad cars to be starved, tortured and killed. Then you will dump their emaciated bodies in large piles. In your spare time you’ll invade Canada and Mexico in a mad quest for world domination. “The tenets of the Republican Party are amazing and they seem warm and welcome,” Hughley said with a completely straight face. “But when...

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...

One Cancellation, One New Deal For Caliendo TBS cancels 'Frank TV' while Fox Sports re-ups his NFL deal By Alex Weprin -- Broadcasting & Cable It is good news and bad news for comedian Frank Caliendo. TBS will not be bringing back his sketch comedy series Frank TV for another season, but he has signed a new deal to continue his role with Fox NFL Sunday for another two years. The TBS comedy series, which debuted in November 2007, gained notoriety early on mostly because it was heavily promoted by the network during its baseball playoff broadcasts that year, enough...

In the midst of a segment on Rush Limbaugh on Sunday morning's Reliable Sources portion of CNN's State of the Union, host Howard Kurtz scolded his journalistic colleagues for a remark which “totally got missed by the media,” how CNN host D.L. Hughley charged “that the Republican convention 'literally looks like Nazi Germany.' I don't understand how he can get away with saying that. I think that is an outrage.”

I heard on the Larry Elder show today that D.L. Hughley has been picked to be the new host of the Late Late Show. I knew he was in the running, but haven't seen any articles confirming this news. If he hasn't been picked yet, then CBS needs to be Freeped with some emails that he shouldn't be. You can see how far left this "comedian" is from a transcript of “REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER”, Episode #43, 11-05-2004.

In yesterday's (shockingly popular G-File; thanks for the kind notes btw) I discussed Bill Maher's season finale which I had the misfortune of watching. I didn't have room to get into it in the G-File (Kathryn has a rule that no columns can be longer than the "M" section of the St. Louis phone book) but DL Hughley was one of the guests on the panel. I kind of like him in movies. Who can forget his seminal performance as the voice of the gadgetmobile in Inspector Gadget 2? But he really was a caricature on the panel. He offered...
