The D.L. Hughley Show

The crew then turns to Hakeem Jeffries, who is poised—but not yet formally elected—to become the first Black House speaker.

The ballots are in, the political map is shifting, and D.L. Hughley has plenty to say. D.L., Jasmine Sanders, and the crew unpack the Democratic blue wave, celebrating major victories while asking listeners what surprised them most about election night. The conversation ranges from unexpected breakthroughs in Republican strongholds to the coalition of Black, Latino, young, and rural voters that D.L. credits with demanding change. CBS News projects Democratic control of both the House and Senate, with Senate upsets in Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina underscoring the scale of the shake-up. Between the celebrations and sharp commentary, the crew makes one thing clear: winning elections is only the beginning—voters want leaders to deliver.
Comedian and actor Deon Cole brings the laughs and a candid look at his unconventional career, sharing how opportunities with Conan O’Brien, Black-ish, and advertising came through relationships and being himself. His late-night writing earned two Primetime Emmy nominations, adding another dimension to a career that still keeps him connected to stand-up. Cole and D.L. also reflect on their love for Chicago and the importance of family support and opportunity.
