One of the most popular and highly recognized standup comedians on the road today has also made quite an impression in the television, film, and radio arenas. DL can currently be heard nationwide as host of his own afternoon radio show “The DL Hughley Show” which is nationally syndicated in over 60 cities across the country including the #1 radio market – New York. The radio show dives headfirst into hot topics of the day and dishes on the latest news, entertainment, pop culture and what’s trending in social media. In July 2020, Harper Collins released DL’s fourth book Surrender, White People. His two previous satirical titles Black Man, White House: An Oral History of the Obama Years and How Not to Get Shot…And Other Advice From White People, became New York Times bestsellers. It was recently announced that Comedy Central will shoot a docu-comedy series of How Not to Get Shot. DL continues to dominate the standup stage, producing specials for Netflix, Showtime and HBO. His 11th standup special “DL Hughley: Contrarian” is currently available on Netflix. DL also created and starred in the satirical documentary special for Comedy Central DL Hughley: The Endangered List, which premiered to rave reviews. The special was honored with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award at the 72nd Annual Peabody Awards.
