CNN introduced a new weekend comedy show on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2008, hosted by D.L.Hughley, who when asked by Larry King; whom would he like to have as the next President, Hughley said he really didn’t care, as long as the next President did a good job. Hughley probably never knew what hit him in the face, when he received the offer to host a daily news events comedy show on CNN. Hughley’s first idea for his new comedy show might have jokingly been: “I could just see the big boys now, laid back upstairs smoking their CEO cigars and having a good laugh.” and Hughley laughing and jokingly saying: “Hell, I’ll make them proud.”
With D.L. Hughley show airing just before the November 4, 2008 election, Hughley sets out to jokingly paint America black. During his interview with Larry King, Hughley lets us know that political news comedy cannot change the way anyone would decide to cast their vote, so Hughley shows his viewers what America would look like; (obviously a CNN and Hughley approved opinion), if America elected a black President. The word “Black” was flying out of Hughley’s mouth, until we actually lost count. The political news comedy scenes sounding jokingly tasteless, uneducated and some down right disrespectful, was a very good way for CNN to break their daily news events. Hughley also allowed us to see the level of attention and vision placed by CNN into presenting this presidential political news comedy on his show.
Like the big boys upstairs will jokingly say: ”It’s easy to make D.L. Hughley fade away from CNN, but 4 years of a black President, who knows how much of a “change” America can take. Congratulations to D.L. Hughley, change is here and jokingly you are it!

How dare you call this a hit! DL Hughley should be ashamed of himself. CNN needs to apologize for insulting the black people AGAIN! We are not PIMPS, Pork chop eating idiots. We are intelligent God fearing, working people. The media loves to project the black race as a race of savages. DL IS NOT FUNNY! He is a coon who will do anything for $$ even sell out his own people. Idiot! CANCEL THIS INSULTING PROGRAM! I have started an email campaign to let CNN know we will not continue to be projected in such a negative light. CNN has stepped back in time with this one and got the black man who will do anything for $$$ to do it. WHO IS THE REAL PIMP! DL Hughley how could you? in a time when this entire country is SCREAMING! let’s stop the nonsense and move forward to make some POSITIVE CHANGES your dumb GREEDY IGNORANT butt does something this. INSULTING BEYOND belief!
