The D.L. Hughley Show

History just got a Mississippi accent, and D.L. Hughley and the crew are celebrating it with plenty of laughs and big opinions. Democrat Scott Colom defeated GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith after days of ballot counting, becoming Mississippi’s first Black senator since Reconstruction and the first Democrat the state has sent to the Senate since 1982. Colom, a district attorney, won narrowly after Hyde-Smith conceded and congratulated him, and D.L. and the crew relish the full-circle twist: she helped block his 2022 federal judgeship nomination, and he ended up taking her seat. D.L.’s GED Section credits Black voters, students and organizers for galvanizing the South, while the Question of the Day asks listeners what they are most proud of or hopeful about after the election, drawing calls about the Mississippi win, Black women in Georgia, young voters and communities of every race banding together. 

The show also turns to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whose group was reprimanded by an Army sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery after laughter and chatter followed the Veterans Day ceremony. The sentinel called out, “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” and the Pentagon said the soldier “correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.” Hegseth later awarded the soldier, Spc. Thomas Iglesias, a Joint Service Commendation Medal. Finally, D.L. and the crew pile on the news that Stephen A. Smith is headed back to the White House, a follow-up to his controversial October dinner with President Trump. Smith interviewed Trump for about 40 minutes for his YouTube show and told reporters there was “no way in hell” he would take the vacant press secretary job, while D.L. and the crew joke about what it says that Democrats won Mississippi while Smith keeps a seat at Trump’s table.

Accountability, awkward first dates, and courtroom confessions all collide on The D.L. Hughley Show. D.L. and the crew open with Jasmine’s trending report on the viral Ring-camera video from the University of Mississippi, where women were caught making monkey noises and gestures outside a Black students’ apartment, and the fallout that followed. The crew had little patience for a simple apology letter, with D.L. pointing out that racism is taught, and reports confirm one of the women, an 18-year-old freshman, is no longer enrolled after withdrawing amid harassment and death threats, while the university says its investigation continues. The Question of the Day asks whether a man should pay a woman’s babysitter after she asks for $250 as he arrives for a first date. The crew and callers overwhelmingly say no, noting the national average babysitting rate is only about $19.50 an hour, that the ask came as a surprise instead of being raised beforehand, and that a man who offers on his own is being generous, not obligated. Along the way, the show also touches on Mississippi’s razor-thin Senate race, Veterans Day, and Ticketmaster Canada’s new cap on ticket resale prices in Ontario. 

TV judge and author Lynn Toler, a former elected municipal judge in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who went on to preside over Divorce Court for 14 seasons, joins the crew for a funny, candid conversation about marriage and divorce. She shares a wild story of a wedding-night mix-up that ended a marriage in 90 days, talks about sentencing defendants to read a book and write their own probation conditions, and explains why she helped create courses at the Ohio Judicial College to educate judges on their role. The show also crowns Nicki Minaj the Shoe Booty of the Week recipient, features comedian Patton Oswalt on stage, and shares Sybil Wilkes’ news rundown. It all wraps with Jasmine’s countdown of signs your wife is unhappily married, including ending phone calls whenever you walk into the room.
