Full EP | Women’s usage of cannabis has grown in recent years; Is work from home culture a career killer for women; VP JD Vance traveling to Pakistan for peace talks; Five reasons to legalize marijuana; and More Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

On the show, the crew dives into a growing trend spotlighted in the Jazzy Report: more women are turning to cannabis, often as an alternative to alcohol, with national data showing women—especially younger women—using marijuana at higher rates than ever before, driven by stress, sleep issues, and access to legal edibles and infused products. That conversation flows right into the Question of the Day, sparked by comments from SKIMS executive Emma Grede, who ignited backlash after saying work‑from‑home culture hurts women’s career advancement. While she argued that proximity and visibility still matter for promotions, critics point to research on productivity and “proximity bias,” noting that remote workers—especially women of color—often perform well but are still overlooked due to outdated corporate norms.

Later, Sybil Wilkes breaks down escalating international tension as Vice President JD Vance heads toward Pakistan amid high‑stakes U.S.–Iran peace talks brokered by Pakistani leaders, with reports suggesting negotiations remain fragile and heavily influenced by regional security concerns and ceasefire deadlines. The episode wraps with Jasmine Sanders’ Top 5, laying out arguments for marijuana legalization—from reducing racial disparities in arrests to lowering enforcement costs and aligning policy with overwhelming public support, as polling shows most Americans now favor legal cannabis in some form.

Full EP | FBI director Kash Patel suing “The Atlantic” for alcoholism claims; Do you allow other people to spank your children; Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans joins DLHS crew; Shreveport man un-alives 8 children and 2 women; and More Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

From legal drama at the highest levels of law enforcement to tough conversations about family, discipline, and unimaginable tragedy, this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show pulls no punches. The crew opens with a sharp breakdown of Kash Patel, the current FBI Director, suing The Atlantic for $250 million over a report alleging alcohol abuse and erratic behavior—claims Patel strongly denies while the outlet stands by its reporting, setting up a high-stakes legal fight that reignites debate about media accountability and public officials. The show then pivots to the Question of the Day, sparked by a real-life family dispute: should grandparents or other relatives be allowed to spank your children? The conversation reflects a growing generational divide, as recent studies show many parents rejecting corporal punishment while older generations defend it as discipline, not abuse.

The mood shifts as actor and comedian Marlon Wayans joins DL and the crew for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation about carving out his own voice in comedy, carrying the Wayans legacy, and his return to the big screen with Scary Movie 6, which reunites him with his brothers and is set for release later this year. The episode closes on a devastating note with coverage of the Shreveport, Louisiana mass shooting, where a father killed eight children—including seven of his own—in what authorities have described as a domestic violence tragedy that has shaken the community and the nation. As always, DL balances humor, honesty, and hard truth while confronting the stories everyone is talking about—but few know how to process.
