Uncertain with DL Hughley

The show mixes comedy with candid opinions, keeping the tone irreverent and unfiltered.

Ben Crump’s Next Move: New Evidence in Nolan Wells’ Death | D.L. Hughley
Ben Crump brings new evidence in the Nolan Wells case—and D.L. Hughley has one question: HOW MANY ANSWERS DOES THIS FAMILY HAVE TO FIND THEMSELVES?
New cellphone findings. Unanswered autopsy questions. A family still fighting to understand how their son died. In Episode 48 of UNCERTAIN, D.L. takes on the evidence presented by Ben Crump’s team—and challenges whether authorities have done enough to
What happens when an artist says “Free Palestine” on one of the biggest stages in America?
Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour—and then every remaining supporting act walked away. Ed says it was the promoters. Macklemore points to billionaire Patriots owner Robert Kraft and powerful venue owners. D.L. Hughley follows the money, the pressure and the excuses to ask the question nobody wants to answer: When billionaires control the buildings, do they also get to control who speak
LINDSAY CLANCY: WHO GETS MERCY WHEN A MOTHER KILLS?
Lindsey Clancy admitted to killing her three children. Her trial ended without a verdict after 11 jurors reportedly believed she should be found not criminally responsible because of mental illness.
Now women across the country are rallying around her—seeing a mother failed by the mental-health system rather than simply a defendant accused of an unthinkable crime.
But D.L. Hughley asks the questio
PROJECT 2025 IS HERE—AND TRUMP VOTERS ARE LOSING HEALTHCARE!
In Episode 41 of Uncertain, D.L. Hughley connects the dots between Medicaid cuts threatening working families, Louisiana criminalizing homelessness, attacks on public education, and politicians using culture wars to distract voters from policies hurting their own communities.
This isn’t just politics. It’s healthcare disappearing, poverty becoming a crime, and vulnerable Americans paying the price
DL Hughley Exposes the Business of Attacking Black Women
Why has attacking Black women become everybody’s favorite pastime?
Laura Loomer launched a racist tirade against Angie Nixon, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and other powerful Black women. Brandon Tatum went after Michelle Obama’s appearance—and dragged DL Hughley’s wife into it. Different messengers. Same tired target.
DL breaks down the ugly pattern behind these attacks: Black women are mocked when they
TARGET, KEEP YOUR APOLOGY!
Black women warned Target. We organized. We boycotted. We took our money elsewhere. Target still refused to hear us—and now the same company that gutted DEI somehow approved a children’s costume evoking blackface and minstrel imagery.
That wasn’t one person’s “mistake.” That costume passed through design, marketing, photography, merchandising, legal and corporate approval—and apparently nobody in
BRANDON TATUM CAME FOR MICHELLE OBAMA—DL HUGHLEY SMOKED HIM!
Brandon Tatum called Michelle Obama ugly—and DL Hughley is about to give him all the smoke and show him what ugly really looks like: desperation, hypocrisy, and begging for white approval in public.
In Episode 38 of Uncertain, DL tears into Tatum’s obsession with attacking Black people for applause, then turns to Stephen A. Smith, who says his critics still haven’t produced the “receipts.” Oh, the
HEY TRUMP VOTERS… HAPPY NOW?
The military is dealing with turmoil. ICE keeps pushing the limits. The DOJ is facing questions over wrongful investigations. Public-health concerns are resurfacing. Thousands of Ethiopians could lose deportation protections. And overseas, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz are adding another potentially explosive problem to the pile.
This week on UNCERTAIN, DL Hughley looks at the growing trail of Tr
DL Hughley Calls BS On Stephen A. Smith's Outrage!
Stephen A. Smith is furious after the NABJ called out what it says is his recurring pattern of disparaging prominent Black women. But DL has a question: Where was all this smoke when Donald Trump came for YOU?
And Stephen A. running to Sean Hannity to complain about Black journalists? Oh, DL has something to say about THAT.
From Serena Williams, Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett and Joy Reid to his
Lindsey Graham Did More for Who?
This week on Uncertain, DL Hughley opens the mailbag — and then closes the beaches. After the death of Nolan Wells on Horn Island and a summer of Black men turning up in trees and rivers with "no foul play suspected," DL makes the case nobody wants to say out loud: part of Jim Crow had a point. Marriage? Fine. Family reunions? Fine. But no swimming, no camping, no hiking — because we never lose wh
Weekend at Mitch's — Somebody Check on Mitch McConnell
America turned 250 and celebrated the only way it knows how: a few hundred masked white nationalists riding the Metro to the Capitol. DL breaks down white supremacy on a budget — racists take the train too — why you can't tell the Patriot Front from the ICE agents (they shop at the same store, and they mask up for the same reason), and the cosmic karma of MAGA families sheltering from the storm in
Clarence Thomas Is the Stephen A. Smith of the Supreme Court
DL is back and nobody is safe — not the Black Trump supporter who cornered him at a Chicago bus stop (and missed his bus AND the point), not Clarence Thomas, who DL calls “the Stephen A. Smith of the Supreme Court” after his 91-page dissent in the birthright citizenship ruling, and definitely not Megyn Kelly, who claims “we built this country” when her family didn’t clear customs until the party w
Austin Metcalf's Dad Says Black Jurors Can't Be Fair — DL Hughley Isn't Having It
In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley opens on a president who started a war but can't clean a pool — the vandalized reflecting pool, the peroxide, and what it says that the country swearing it can beat Iran can't beat algae — before getting into the "two Americas" gap between the detective who called DL back about a storage locker and the bank fraud nobody ever called Alex about. From there DL
"Where the Black Fathers At?" They're Winning Championships
In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley spends Father's Day making the case nobody wants to hear: every time somebody asks "where are the Black fathers at," the answer is Jalen Brunson winning a Knicks championship with his own father right beside him. From Jeff Metcalf's comments about Black dads to Boomer Esiason and the "respect the office" crowd, the Karmelo Anthony verdict and what "stand yo
DL Hughley GOES OFF on Spencer Pratt, Bill Maher & Stephen A. Smith
DL Hughley is back, and this week the Temu Trump came for LA — and LA said no. DL breaks down Karen Bass's primary win over Spencer Pratt, why Los Angeles was never going to elect a mayor named Spencer, and how a city bigger than 40 states became the target of a DOJ investigation for counting too slow. Plus: the homelessness money nobody can find, who's really stealing it (hint: it ain't poor peop
They Held a Moment of Silence for Derek Chauvin?!
DL's back in New York at Gotham Podcast Studio — a wall of liquor, a Knicks/Spurs/Giants debate nobody asked for, an Odell Beckham story that ended the second money came up, and Alex catching strays over a dude-wipe ad. Plus a shout-out to Jay-Z for still being slick, still relevant, and still holding onto all that hair.
Then the heavier stuff: one last word on the Kevin Hart roast — Gary Owen,
Kevin Hart Protected Everyone Except His Own People
In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley pours one out for Rob Base before getting into the most contentious writers' room the show has ever had. Two weeks in, the panel still can't let go of the Kevin Hart Roast, and DL stakes out the unpopular ground: a comedian should never apologize for a joke, let alone one he didn't tell. But Jasmine, Austin, and Alex aren't having it — if Hart cut 18 jokes
Take My Name Out Your Mouth, Fat Ass' — DL Hughley ENDS Big Jay Oakerson
In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley pays tribute to Barney Frank — the first openly gay congressman, a Freedom Summer volunteer, and a civil rights champion whose passing marks the end of an era — before turning to the death of Mark Fuhrman and what his career revealed about the LAPD, the most deadly police department in the country. From a sheriff's department gang that recruits from the Sou
Fighting for America While America Fights Us
In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley unpacks the Kevin Hart Netflix Roast and why putting Tony Hinchcliffe on stage to tell a seven-year-old George Floyd joke wasn't edgy — it was the plan.

The "Smartest People" Were the Easiest to Fool
In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley and the crew break down why Spirit Airlines might be the purest reflection of modern America: chaotic, underfunded, loud, and somehow still functioning.

Department of Education, and Kristi Noem getti
