D. L. Hughley is still not funny

November 2, 2008

Wow…I gave the brother another chance and he still stinks. I really try to find some type of happy medium. I’m the last person who would ever want to bring another brother down, but for god sake, someone tell him to shut the hell up.

Donna Brazile was the first guest on his show and of course she was as elegant as ever and it was obvious that Hughley should not be interviewing smart black people. He doesn’t know how to do it, he shouldn’t do it and they shouldn’t ask him to do it. It makes him look even stupider.

Al Sharpton showed up on the set and as usual spoke like Al Sharpton meaning straight to the point and not funny. Hughley tried, but he can’t help. Oh yeah…he also tried to be smart by asking Sharpton the question about how black people will treat black people, but he went ahead to mention that Obama was not raise by black people. Not sure what that meant. He also mentioned that black women hate to see a black man with a black woman, but Obama is the product of a white woman. What the hell was getting to, nobody knows. His conversation had no substance.

It’s obvious that Hughley toned down the show tremendously (wonder why) and he tried to make it similar to John Stewart or the other sit down comedian, but it still doesn’t work.

I’m so confused. They had this skit where they have an audience vote on whether D.L. is funny or not. They all said that he’s not funny pretending of course or was it real? I don’t get CNN anymore. What are they trying to say? In other words, CNN is actually making fun of their show by saying that it’s not funny. I just don’t get it.

Again Hughley took shots at Obama. One of the worst one tonight was when he had a fake commercial making reference to Obama not being from the US. He’s from a place far far away that makes funny signals with their hands and a place that has volcanoes and other idiotic comments. In closing it asks if you would vote for Obama or a real American. What the hell?

Also, someone should tell Hughley that bragging about his lack of education is not cute and it doesn’t do anything for kid’s morale. Our job is to teach our kids that education is important not brag about that Hughley made it without an education.

Hughley try to defend his action during the show by hinting that he’s a comedian and viewers should understand. I wonder if he read all the negative responses on the web.

I guess he thought his matching earring and rings would distract us from actually listening to him.
