DL Hughley GOES OFF on Spencer Pratt, Bill Maher & Stephen A. Smith

DL Hughley GOES OFF on Spencer Pratt, Bill Maher & Stephen A. Smith

DL Hughley is back, and this week the Temu Trump came for LA — and LA said no. DL breaks down Karen Bass's primary win over Spencer Pratt, why Los Angeles was never going to elect a mayor named Spencer, and how a city bigger than 40 states became the target of a DOJ investigation for counting too slow. Plus: the homelessness money nobody can find, who's really stealing it (hint: it ain't poor people), and why rich people don't want to solve homelessness — they just don't want to see it. Then DL torches Bill Maher for being the only comedian thirsty enough to take a Mark Twain Award from a man who got Colbert canceled, goes in on Stephen A. Smith for speaking up for the Knicks but not the people, and asks what context Nick Cannon could possibly be missing. And in the wake of the Karmelo Anthony verdict, DL lays out what stand your ground really means — and who it was built for.

They Held a Moment of Silence for Derek Chauvin?!

DL's back in New York at Gotham Podcast Studio — a wall of liquor, a Knicks/Spurs/Giants debate nobody asked for, an Odell Beckham story that ended the second money came up, and Alex catching strays over a dude-wipe ad. Plus a shout-out to Jay-Z for still being slick, still relevant, and still holding onto all that hair. Then the heavier stuff: one last word on the Kevin Hart roast — Gary Owen, Joe Rogan, the whole Rogan tree — set against the Minnesota GOP's moment of silence for Derek Chauvin and what George Floyd still means. From there, Vivek Ramaswamy's Ohio run, the Kaepernick-vs.-Jackson-Dart "political" double standard, Pete Hegseth and "white affirmative action" running the Iran war, Ken Paxton vs. Talarico in Texas, Karen Bass and the LA mayor's race, and Trump's 250-year party that no act will touch — except Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, and a booking agent named Epstein.

Kevin Hart Protected Everyone Except His Own People

In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley pours one out for Rob Base before getting into the most contentious writers' room the show has ever had. Two weeks in, the panel still can't let go of the Kevin Hart Roast, and DL stakes out the unpopular ground: a comedian should never apologize for a joke, let alone one he didn't tell. But Jasmine, Austin, and Alex aren't having it — if Hart cut 18 jokes to protect everyone from Melania to the military to Tony Hinchcliffe, why was George Floyd the one line he wouldn't draw? Tom Brady stopped his own roast. Hart had the power and chose the numbers. From there, DL breaks down Cheyenne Bryant and why a Black woman with a PhD still gets asked for her credentials the way Tucker Carlson asked Ketanji Brown Jackson for her SAT scores. Then the throughline lands: the LA mayor's race pitting Karen Bass against a game show host, why homelessness lives wherever the billionaires do, and why this administration's one real accomplishment is showing exactly how much this country will tolerate — if you're white. A nigga can't even wear a tan suit. DL says it plain: infamy is better than fame, and somebody always cashes the check.

Take My Name Out Your Mouth, Fat Ass' — DL Hughley ENDS Big Jay Oakerson

In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley pays tribute to Barney Frank — the first openly gay congressman, a Freedom Summer volunteer, and a civil rights champion whose passing marks the end of an era — before turning to the death of Mark Fuhrman and what his career revealed about the LAPD, the most deadly police department in the country. From a sheriff's department gang that recruits from the South to the Rampart Division's reign of corruption, DL connects Fuhrman's legacy to a city built on quiet brutality, and asks why a president who can't feign empathy went silent after the San Diego mosque shooting. The conversation then turns to the Kevin Hart Roast, Tony Hinchcliffe's recycled George Floyd joke, and Big Jay Oakerson's decision to take a swing at DL — a swing DL returns with interest. From there, DL breaks down why five-star Black athletes need to stop running to SEC schools that disenfranchise their families on Monday and cheer for them on Saturday, why NIL money should travel where Black communities are respected, and why the Trump administration's reparations fund for J6 defendants has accidentally opened the door for the strongest restorative justice case Black America has ever had. Eminent domain, Bruce's Beach, Bob Jones, Seneca Village, and a mountain in Calabasas that used to have a name no one should ever say out loud — DL lays out the receipts and says it plain: get your money, man. Go get it.

Fighting for America While America Fights Us

In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley unpacks the Kevin Hart Netflix Roast and why putting Tony Hinchcliffe on stage to tell a seven-year-old George Floyd joke wasn't edgy — it was the plan. DL breaks down how the original Dean Martin roasts came from people who actually liked each other, how the MAGA crowd that called for Jimmy Kimmel's head over a Charlie Kirk joke suddenly discovered free speech when a dead Black man was the punchline, and why "Kevin Hart said it was okay" doesn't make it okay. Plus a long-overdue conversation with Charlamagne tha God about nuance, the "couch as an option" era, Killer Mike's prosecutor talk while his daddy wore a badge, and how telling Black folks both candidates were trash helped get us exactly where we are. Then DL gets to the through-line: America has never fought a war where it didn't also find time to fight us. Black men died next to white men in Vietnam jungles but couldn't use the same bathroom in Georgia. We helped beat the Axis and came home to Jim Crow. Right now we're bombing Iran to stop them from getting a warhead while the South is rolling back our ballots. DL makes the case that young Black athletes should gerrymander Alabama's offensive line the same way Alabama gerrymandered the congressional map — because without us, the SEC is rugby. Plus the writers' room goes off on a "JD Yakub" devil's-advocate bit about colonization, the top 20 genocides, why the only thing that's killed more people than the European white male is the mosquito, and why China builds bridges in places America abandoned.
