One of the most highly recognized and popular stand up
comedians of his generation, D.L. Hughley recently ended a successful
run top-lining his own sitcom "The Hughleys" which aired on
ABC. The family comedy based on D.L.’s real-life experiences, features
D.L. as the lead character with a fresh point of view. D.L. moves his
family front the city to the suburbs, from a small apartment to a big
beautiful house.
With his innate ability to make people laugh, D.L. Hughley began his career
as a comedian working in small clubs, citing his appearance on HBO’s
"Def Comedy Jam" as one of his earliest breaks in the business.
As a result of his work on HBO and his quick rise in popularity, D.L.
was chosen as the first host of "Comic View" on Black Entertainment
Television. Hughley is proud of his association with BET and the success
of "Comic View," which allowed black comedians a showcase for
their talent. The comedy industry quickly took notice of Hughley’s
talent and offered him his first HBO Special. The special received instant
rave reviews and was so successful with audiences, that it quickly led
HBO to offer D.L. a second. Not only was D.L’s second HBO special
nominated for a CableACE Award for Best Comedy Special, but it also became
one of the highest rated specials in the history of the cable network.
Hughley’s success continued from there. He went on to make many
television appearances including. "The Best of Del Comedy Jam,"
"Def Jam’s Comedy All-Stars," A&E’s "Evening
at the Improv," MTV’s "Comedy 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour,"
"Entertainment Tonight," CBS’s "48 Hours," "The
Fresh Prince of Bel Air," and "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
