The D.L. Hughley Show

Four hours of DL Hughley at his uncut best. The crew dives into the explosive domestic abuse accusations against Marcellus Wiley — and why Jason Whitlock defending him is a whole conversation by itself. Then the question nobody wants to answer out loud: would you let your Black child go on a camping trip with rich white kids? The disappearance of Nolan Wells has the internet divided, callers fired up, and Ben Crump officially on the case.
R&B legend Eric Benet stops by to go completely off-script — Black ownership of BET, the mental health crisis among young Black men, and why turning 40 means you stop biting your tongue. Mitch McConnell's health is a national mystery his own party won't address, his wife flew back to China, and DL isn't losing any sleep over it.
Plus — U.S. strikes on Iran, Jermaine Dupri suing Sony over Da Brat and Xscape's royalties, Trump fans want a soccer player deported, Taylor Swift's wedding is stirring things up, and a man in Louisiana tried to outrun the cops straight into a swamp full of alligators. DL also gets deeply personal in his GD Section, pulling from his new memoir Charlie's Boy to ask the question America needs to sit with: aren't you tired?

Mitch McConnell is either brain dead, on life support, or about to be Weekend at Bernie's'd through the end of his term — and DL and The crew breaks down why Republicans are hiding his condition (hint: Democrat Governor Andy Beshear gets to pick his replacement), and what it means that his wife flew back to China. Then Trump's supporters want a USA soccer player deported after a World Cup loss, Taylor Swift's wedding has the internet buzzing (and Questlove showed up with a new white girlfriend), and civil rights attorney Ben Crump has been hired by the family of missing teen Nolan Wells. DL wraps it all up with five wild online dating tips that somehow turn into a full debate about one-armed women and crocodile weddings.

Eric Benet has traded his barefoot crochet bell-bottoms for combat boots — and he's done biting his lip. Jasmine sits down with the R&B legend for a raw, wide-open conversation about Black ownership of BET, mental health and suicide among young Black men, the lessons that come from suffering in silence, and why being over 40 means you simply don't care anymore.
Meanwhile, the crew hypes the One Voyage 2026 cruise featuring T.I., Keith Sweat, Anthony Anderson, and Ced the Entertainer. Sybil Wilkes drops a bombshell What You Need to Know — U.S. strikes on Iran, Mitch McConnell's mystery health status, and Jermaine Dupri suing Sony over royalties for Da Brat and Xscape. And someone tried to outrun a DWI in Louisiana — straight into a swamp full of alligators.

ICE just fatally shot another man in Houston — and DL's performing there this weekend. That sets the stage for a no-holds-barred conversation sparked by the disappearance of Nolan Wells: would you let your Black child go on a camping trip with rich white kids? The crew shares personal stories, callers go in hard on both sides, and Skip Cheatham of the legendary Plano Cheathams weighs in with his signature diplomacy. Plus, the mysterious case of Nolan Wells deepens — the group has lawyered up, scrubbed their socials, and one of their moms is a judge. R&B star Eric Benet is teased for the next hour.

Marcellus Wiley is getting dragged — and Jason Whitlock is the one riding to his defense. DL and the crew break down the bombshell domestic abuse accusations against the former ESPN analyst, why his wife's past behavior makes it complicated, and whether he deserves the compassion he never gave others. Then Jasmine runs through what's trending, including the controversy swirling around the animated movie Minions and the Monsters — yes, people think it's satanic. And DL gets deeply personal in his GD Section note, drawing on stories from his new memoir Charlie's Boy to ask the question America needs to answer: aren't you tired of Trump's America delivering nothing it promised?
