D.L. Hughley Essentials

While many comics find their material in life's little details, D.L. Hughley prefers to tackle the big issues. Since the '90s, he's found fame as a TV personality and actor, but fans of Hughley's standup career know him as the kind of funnyman who isn't afraid to leap into perennial hot-button topics like politics and religion, letting the chips fall where they may while he lowers the boom. Of course, that's never stopped him from aiming for less controversial targets like iPhone dependence and the battle of the sexes with the full force of his comedy firepower either.
