One of the Original Kings of Comedy sits down with Maury, and nothing is off limits.
D.L. Hughley came out of South Central L.A. almost 40 years ago, joined the Bloods as a teenager, got on stage for the first time because a barbershop owner dared him, and never missed a night again. In a 1-on-1 with Maury Povich he talks about his new memoir 'Charlie's Boy', the stepfather who raised him and never said much, the funeral where he learned Charlie never actually worked a day at the airport, and the conversation he wishes he could have had.
Maury also brings up his old friend Don Lemon, now D.L.'s tour partner. D.L. says he couldn't stand Don at CNN, didn't start liking him until he got fired, and still insists Don "swears he didn't go to jail" after his arrest. Should Don Lemon run for president? D.L. has an answer. Plus Josh Johnson, Don Rickles, George Carlin, the night Eddie Murphy walked in behind him, In Living Color, and a round of On Par or Off the Rails that covers George Lopez's short game, AI joke thieves and Johnnie Walker with Diet Coke.
