DL Hughley Calls BS On Stephen A. Smith's Outrage!
DL Hughley Calls BS On Stephen A. Smith's Outrage! Aug 21, 2026 2404 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?
Lindsey Graham Did More for Who? Jul 16, 2026 3366 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
Weekend at Mitch's — Somebody Check on Mitch McConnell Jul 9, 2026 3531 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
Clarence Thomas Is the Stephen A. Smith of the Supreme Court Jul 2, 2026 2369 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
Austin Metcalf's Dad Says Black Jurors Can't Be Fair — DL Hughley Isn't Having It Jun 25, 2026 2811 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
"Where the Black Fathers At?" They're Winning Championships Jun 18, 2026 3595 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 GOES OFF on Spencer Pratt, Bill Maher & Stephen A. Smith Jun 11, 2026 2976 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?!
They Held a Moment of Silence for Derek Chauvin?! Jun 4, 2026 3071 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
Kevin Hart Protected Everyone Except His Own People May 29, 2026 3194 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
Take My Name Out Your Mouth, Fat Ass' — DL Hughley ENDS Big Jay Oakerson May 21, 2026 3102 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
Fighting for America While America Fights Us May 14, 2026 3093 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. DL breaks down how the original Dean Martin roasts came from people who actually liked each other, how the MAGA crowd that called for Jimmy Kimmel's head over a Charlie Kirk joke suddenly discovered free sp

The "Smartest People" Were the Easiest to Fool May 7, 2026 3081 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. From “you get there when you get there” customer service to aisle fights, baggage fees, and airport survival stories, DL explains why flying Spirit feels less like air travel and more like entering a televi
