The D.L. Hughley Show

D.L. announces his book Charlie's Boys is out and he's hitting The View tomorrow. Then it's giveaway time—caller Rosalyn from Charlotte, NC wins a cabin on the One Voice Cruise, and D.L. is feeling so magnanimous he plans to give away another one. The crew reflects on the terrifying Six Flags roller coaster death and why getting older changes how you feel about thrill rides. Skip gives D.L. his flowers for the generosity, and the show teases tomorrow's guest: musical artist Robert Glasper and the Blue Note venue in LA. Another cruise cabin is up for grabs—will you be the next winner?

D.L. hits the road for Philadelphia with Don Lemon and Fort Worth, but first it's time for listeners to vent in the fan-favorite segment "F You, D.L. Hughley" with correspondent Niecy James. Critics come for D.L. about his stance on religion, his advice to leave the hood, and even the size of his TV set. Then the Human Being of the Week honors go to Miguel Pilgrim, who won $52 million in the lottery and is rebuilding Fort Lauderdale's historic Black community on Sistrunk Boulevard. In What You Need to Know, Sybil Wilkes covers Obama's endorsement of Juliana Stratton for Senate, Trump attacking Ilhan Omar at an Ohio rally, Six Flags shutting down roller coasters after a fatal fall, and the University of Maryland suspending its tennis program over KKK hood graphics.

The debate rages on: is a father showering with his nine-year-old daughter good parenting or a red flag? Sanders and Skip weigh in, and callers do not hold back—one even calls the man a "pervert" while another invokes Trump's own inappropriate comments about his daughter. D.L. draws the line between affection and boundary violations, and the consensus is clear: nine is too old. Then the one and only Alibo, the Streaming Hack Warrior, takes over with a hilarious review of Survivor's Remorse, starring Jessie T. Usher, Mike Epps, and Tichina Arnold—LeBron James' executive-produced show that's like Entourage with a conscience and a church scene. Alibo also pitches his new venture, Bootleg Betting—no refs, just witnesses.

October means Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and D.L. kicks things off with birthday shoutouts to AOC, Paul Pierce, Jerry Jones, Tisha Campbell-Martin, and more—including a wild story about Brian Dawkins' image being used in a Trump ad. Christa Pike, a death row survivor who was nearly executed, is back in the headlines, and D.L. has plenty to say about that. Trump tells Tennessee supporters he could "say the stupidest things" and they'd still clap—and they proved him right. An Uber driver kicks out a passenger who refused to confirm her identity, sparking a heated debate. In the GED Section, D.L. demands to know why the Trump administration investigates everyone except the mysterious deaths of six Black people found drowned and hanging this year. Plus, NYC Mayor Mamdani orders a police use-of-force review, scientists link gas and mental health, and a jaw-dropping story about a father who showers and sleeps with his nine-year-old daughter—listeners, you decide: loving dad or crossing the line?

D.L. Hughley and the crew unpack the Justice Department’s antitrust investigation into ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC after the networks temporarily suspended shared White House pool coverage when CNN, MS NOW and Politico were barred from the complex; a federal judge later restored the outlets’ access, and press-freedom advocates warned the probe could chill independent reporting. The conversation also turns to the court-authorized search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home by Homeland Security Investigations as part of an immigration-related criminal inquiry; Omar has not been charged and says the action is political intimidation, while federal officials say the investigation is ongoing. 

The mood lightens when Jamal Kingsley hosts One Voyage Jeopardy, challenging contestants to identify songs by cruise performers including Cupid, Lakeside and T.I.; the 2026 One Voyage lineup also features D.L. Hughley, Keith Sweat, Wyclef Jean, Doug E. Fresh, Erica Campbell and Cedric the Entertainer aboard Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady. Cedric then joins the crew for a lively round of questions about old-school essentials, luxury cigars, his friendly hat rivalry with D.L. and the honorary doctorate tied to his family’s Lincoln University legacy—one of two honorary degrees on his résumé, alongside the Doctorate of Fine Arts his alma mater Southeast Missouri State University awarded him in 2025. Plus, the show serves up its signature wordplay, sharp commentary and plenty of laughs along the way.

Money, justice, unanswered questions, and lifesaving health information collide as D.L. Hughley and the crew tackle a packed lineup with sharp commentary and spirited debate. They question the timing of President Donald Trump’s pre-midterm promises, including a one-time $90 payment for more than 20 million eligible Medicare Part B enrollees, $500 Affordable Care Act rebates for roughly one million people, and a proposed $5,000 check for every American adult if Republicans retain Congress—a pledge that would require congressional approval and could cost more than $1 trillion. The Question of the Day turns to Panama’s new paternity-fraud law, which punishes deliberate deception with two to five years in prison and financial penalties, requires DNA testing in disputed cases, ends future legal obligations when fraud is proven, and preserves a child’s right to establish biological parentage; hosts and callers debate whether the United States should adopt similar consequences or instead prioritize immediate paternity testing and restitution.   

The show also follows renewed calls for federal scrutiny in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, whose body was recovered on Horn Island two days after a Fourth of July boating trip. A Mississippi grand jury declined to bring charges and investigators said the evidence did not indicate foul play, but the state and independent autopsies listed the cause and manner of death as undetermined, leaving Wells’s family pressing for answers as President Trump said he was considering asking the FBI to investigate. Jasmine Sanders closes with five essential breast-cancer facts: mammograms can find cancer before symptoms appear, a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis, cancers may be invasive or noninvasive, surgery commonly involves either lumpectomy or mastectomy, and factors such as age, family history, and breast density can affect risk. Current guidance recommends mammograms every two years for women ages 40 to 74 at average risk, while those with dense breasts should discuss their personal risk and possible additional screening with a clinician.

History, beauty, Hollywood, and bizarre celebrity collectibles collide in an episode packed with sharp opinions and big laughs. D.L. Hughley and the crew celebrate Dr. Opal Lee’s 100th birthday as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” helps launch construction of Fort Worth’s 50,000-square-foot National Juneteenth Museum, projected to open in 2029; her decades of advocacy helped make Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021. The Question of the Day asks why heavy makeup remains popular when many men say they prefer a lighter look, prompting callers to debate confidence, acne coverage, social-media filters, reality-TV beauty standards, creativity, competition, and self-expression. Research reflects that complexity: women report using cosmetics for impression management, enhancement and confidence, fun and well-being, creativity, and identity—not simply to attract a partner. 

Actress Wendy Raquel Robinson joins the crew for a hilarious, revealing conversation about being expelled from Hollywood High, the legendary Los Angeles school coffee cake, her Howard University experience, and the life-changing value of HBCUs. Beyond her celebrated roles as Regina Grier on The Steve Harvey Show and Tasha Mack on The Game, Robinson co-founded Amazing Grace Conservatory, which provides performing and digital arts training to underserved young people and has grown from 75 students to serving more than 500 annually. Queen Indy B, who is in for Jasmine Sanders, closes with five unbelievable items purchased on eBay, including Justin Bieber’s hair clippings, Justin Timberlake’s half-eaten French toast, Pharrell’s famous Grammy hat, William Shatner’s kidney stone, and an alleged Britney Spears pregnancy test—proof that celebrity fame can turn almost anything into a collectible; Bieber’s hair brought $40,668 for charity, Timberlake’s leftovers sold for $1,025, and Shatner’s kidney stone raised $25,000.

From a viral diaspora debate to a family standoff over rent, this episode brings the heat, the heart, and the everyday habits that keep relationships interesting. D.L. Hughley and the crew respond to actor Da’Vinchi’s appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday, where he criticized Americans as overly dependent and “incompetent” while discussing work ethic, parenting, and why overseas actors land U.S. roles; Newton pushed back that convenience and efficiency are not the same as laziness, and Da’Vinchi later acknowledged that his sweeping statement should have been more specific. The show rejects the broader framing—especially any suggestion that Black Americans should simply move past slavery—arguing that the institution’s legacy and the systems built from it still shape American life. 

The Question of the Day shifts the conversation to whether a 29-year-old son and his partner should contribute $600 a month after moving into his parents’ home to escape a $3,700 rent bill, with the hosts and callers largely agreeing that grown adults should help cover food and utilities—and ideally use the reduced cost to save toward independence; the question lands at a time when about 20% of Americans ages 25 to 34 live with their parents, with high housing costs a major driver. The crew also salutes John Legend for partnering with Bilt and Scholarship America to provide 50 eligible off-campus students at Morehouse College, Central State University, Wilberforce University, and his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, with one-time, need-based $850 housing awards—an effort inspired by his own experience working multiple jobs to pay rent in college. Jasmine Sanders closes with a playful list of habits men find puzzling, from buying painful shoes and rejecting every restaurant suggestion to guarding decorative soap and claiming not to want fries before eating someone else’s.

From a campus accountability crisis to a first-date fashion emergency, D.L. Hughley and the crew bring sharp commentary, candid conversation, and plenty of laughs. D.L. responds to reporting that Cornell’s Title IX office received more than 1,200 reports involving sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking from 2018 through 2024; disciplinary charges were filed in 162 cases, at least one person was found responsible in 51, 14 resulted in suspension, and only seven ended in expulsion or dismissal. The troubling numbers fuel his wider critique of wealth, influence, and institutions that fail to hold powerful people accountable. 

The mood lightens when Jamal Kingsley hosts One Voyage Jeopardy, challenging contestants to identify lyrics by cruise performers including E.U., Da Brat, and Dave Hollister; the 25th-anniversary One Voyage sailing is billed as six nights of music, culture, and community in support of HBCU scholarships and resources. Actor and comedian Niecy Nash then joins the show to discuss refusing stereotypical “sassy Black” roles, proving her dramatic range on HBO’s Getting On, and paying her success forward by helping others find work. The episode wraps with a viral dating debate after TikToker Wunderr says a woman canceled their first date just 15 minutes before pickup when she saw his glittering rhinestone shirt, pants, and shoes—an outfit that had the crew and the internet choosing sides over personal style, compatibility, and first impressions.

The conversation turns to accountability at Cornell University, which agreed to an outside review of its handling of allegations that a former student was drugged and sexually assaulted by multiple fraternity members in 2024; the criminal investigation has also been reopened, with prosecutors reviewing whether evidence should go before a grand jury, and the allegations remain unproven in court.

On the 2026 edition of The DL Hughley Show, Jasmine’s “Jazzy Report” covers the Supreme Court allowing the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to third countries without giving them a chance to argue potential harm, along with reports that severe stress can accelerate aging. The “Question of the Day” centers on what consequences should exist when one parent intentionally keeps a child from the other, sparked by an audio story of a woman who believed her father abandoned her until learning her mother cut him off; callers share similar experiences and debate whether legal remedies should exist beyond court-ordered custody.  

In an interview, Chris Spencer discusses being replaced by Sinbad on Vibe, creating Real Husbands of Hollywood and White Famous, and his Jamaican upbringing in Inglewood, plus work with the Wayans and advice from Chris Rock after his show was canceled. Jasmine Sanders also shares a “Top 5” list of workplace antics to avoid, including inappropriate advances, excessive meetings, constant HR complaints, selling coworkers out, and getting caught doing everything except the job.

The crew starts with Jasmine Guy’s response to ageist social-media criticism following her return as Whitley Gilbert-Wayne in Netflix’s A Different World sequel, where she reminds critics that “beauty, style, and joy don’t have an expiration date.” That opens a broader conversation about the double standard women face while aging in public. Then D.L., the team, and callers sound off on Judge Judy Sheindlin’s declaration that people who dislike America or want to change it should “go somewhere else,” arguing instead that challenging the country to improve has always been part of its progress. 

The episode also celebrates Molson as Human Being of the Week for putting women’s hockey players above its own branding. Through its multi-year partnership with the Professional Women’s Hockey League, the “See My Name” campaign moved player names below jersey numbers—where long hair would not hide them—while Molson placed its own logo in the less-visible space above. Finally, Jasmine Sanders breaks down five unspoken rules for couples moving in together: close the bathroom door, make room for separate nights out, claim a permanent side of the bed, protect your partner’s harmless secrets, and speak up early when the arrangement is not working.

From sharp social commentary to hilarious cruise trivia and heartfelt reflection, this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show delivers a powerful mix of news, comedy, culture, and community. D.L. and the crew dive into the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the death of Noah Wells, discussing the reopening of investigations and broader concerns about justice and accountability, while also weighing in on reports that President Trump is seeking to cancel approximately $810 million in congressionally approved federal funding through a controversial budget maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.” The proposed cuts would affect programs serving refugees, migrant students, minority-owned businesses, and children, sparking criticism from lawmakers across the political spectrum. The show also tackles trending headlines, social issues, and political accountability with the candid perspective listeners expect from D.L. and the crew.  

Laughter balances the conversation with a lively edition of One Voyage Jeopardy hosted by Jamal Kingsley, spotlighting classic R&B hits and building excitement for the upcoming One Voyage Cruise. Comedian Aida Rodriguez joins the show for an inspiring conversation about solidarity between Black and Latino communities, systemic inequality, and using comedy as a vehicle for truth, while listeners also enjoy fan-favorite segments including the GED Section, the Jazzy Report, and D.L.’s School of Real Good Book Learning.

This episode has everything: D.L. dives deep into the Nolan Wells case and Mississippi's long, ugly history of racial injustice while questioning why America seems more sympathetic to a woman who murders her children than a mother searching for answers. The Trump administration is making an unprecedented move to control press access to the White House — is this the authoritarian playbook everyone warned about? Hundreds of thousands are losing Obamacare coverage, Texas agricultural workers are facing a mysterious health crisis, and a viral plane etiquette debate has the entire country picking sides. D.L. shares unforgettable stories about sitting next to Halle Berry, getting kicked out of first class, and being profiled while flying. He also opens up about his father's legacy ahead of his memoir *Charlie's Boy*, including the Sammy Davis Jr. *All in the Family* moment that made his dad laugh harder than anyone had ever seen. The Militant Man Jamal Kingsley exposes racism in your technology, One Voyage Jeopardy tests contestants' R&B knowledge, and Sybil Wilkes breaks down a federal judge forcing Trump to restore CNN and MSNBC press access, Memphis Mayor Paul Young's fear of Elon Musk, and Chris Brown going head-to-head with a journalist over abuse allegations.

This is one episode you don't want to miss.

Then Jasmine breaks down the top five signs his workaholism has gone too far — and the crew debates whether some of these are just normal adult life. Before the show wraps, the team shares what they learned today, including a major Netflix deal for bestselling author Kennedy Ryan, and a surprise new collaboration between Kirk Franklin and GloRilla that's about to drop. Plus, D.L. reveals where he first heard "Stomp" — and it's not where you'd ever guess. And tomorrow's show preview will have you clearing your schedule.

Sybil Wilkes delivers the news you need to know, including a federal judge forcing the Trump administration to restore press access for CNN and MSNBC, Memphis Mayor Paul Young admitting he's afraid to push back on Elon Musk's AI operations, the Smithsonian African American History Museum standing firm against executive orders, and Chris Brown publicly confronting a journalist who claims he abuses women.

The crew draws a chilling connection between the broken arm passenger and the serial killer who used the exact same trick to lure victims.

D.L. kicks things off with a gut-wrenching look at the Nolan Wells case in Mississippi — a state with a dark history of racial injustice that somehow keeps getting worse. The Trump administration is making a bold power grab to control which reporters get White House access, and D.L. has plenty to say about the authoritarian playbook unfolding in real time. Meanwhile, Obamacare enrollment is being slashed for hundreds of thousands of people, and doctors in Texas are sounding the alarm about a mysterious health crisis hitting agricultural workers — right after the state eliminated mandatory water breaks. Plus, a viral plane etiquette debate divides the crew when a man refuses to give up his paid window seat for a passenger with a broken arm, and D.L. recounts the time he sat next to Halle Berry fresh off an argument with Eric Benét. And is Jon Ossoff the next Obama? Social media seems to think so.

The show also weighed in on the recent criticism of BET after years of Black cultural reporting and interviews reportedly disappeared from its digital archives, raising concerns about preserving Black history and media legacy. Additionally, D.L. reflected on the ongoing fight for justice in cases involving Black victims and the stark differences in how grieving mothers are treated in America.  

The conversation continued with the Question of the Day, as listeners sounded off on NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal accepting an honorary FBI Special Agent designation from FBI Director Kash Patel during a National Academy graduation ceremony, a move that has generated significant backlash and debate online.
