Dr. Boyce Watkins Responds to an Unlikely Partnership that Perpetuates the Worst of African American Stereotypes (Syracuse, NY) Tuesday, October 28, 2008 – Could it be that CNN may have made a mistake in its most recent partnership with controversial comedian D.L. Hughley in its weekend premier of D.L. Hughley Breaks the News ? It’s possible. Less than 48 hours after the airing of the controversial program, one can barely find any reference to D.L. Hughley’s CNN show on the CNN web site (especially the fictional Black character doing a parody of "Freddie Mac"). Objecting to the program, Dr. Boyce Watkins, Finance Professor out ...

I found D.L. Hughley's "Break the News" an offensive show that perpetuates the negative stereotypes that have dogged blacks in this country for too long. We are on the verge of making history with the first African American, Barack Obama, becoming the President of the United States and all Hughley could do is to insult blacks. The show needs to be on Comedy Central, BET or HBO. It has no place on CNN. What upsets me is that throughout the presidential campaign race has been an omnipresent issue with many people asking whether whites would reject Obama on the basis of his race. The ...

D.L. Hughley’s CNN show cancelled but remains at CNN as a L.A. contributor. D.L. Hughley’s comedy show on CNN, D.L.

We are eager to continue our relationship with D.L., who is a tremendous talent and a valued colleague.” No finale date ... Read Full Story

After watchin D.L. Hughley on Larry King Live a few weeks back, I was impressed with what he had to say. He was on point and speaking about a lot of the things that I have on my mind and saying things quite frankly that no one else seems to have the heart to say. However, with his new show, that approach has gone out the window; something has changed. If this is as a result of those highest up in CNN, they have made a vital mistake. D.L.'s new show is utterly deplorable. It does nothing more than reinforce sterotypes (something we do ... Read Full Story

Will the bad news for America never cease? CNN has gone and canceled its highest-rated Daily Show ripoff incongruously hosted by a mediocre standup comedian, "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News." Dude it took us forever just to find the actual name of that show, which is maybe why he got canned? Cityfile says the show got canceled because of "budgetary constraints." CNN says, ha, he wanted to spend more time with his family. Aha. Everyone please share your fondest reminisces of D.L. Hughley's finest CNN moments in the comments—here on the internet you have as much space as you need. [ Cityfile ] Quote ... Read Full Story

We've been watching the Jay Leno Show (weeknights at 10 pm on NBC) with great interest since its debut, mainly because of Jay's major emphasis on stand-up comedy. They've employed comedians – DL Hughley, Marina Franklin, Jim Norton, ...
