DLHS Hour 3 | John Legend Starts Initiative to Pay College Students Rent Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

The crew also salutes John Legend for partnering with Bilt and Scholarship America to provide 50 eligible off-campus students at Morehouse College, Central State University, Wilberforce University, and his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, with one-time, need-based $850 housing awards—an effort inspired by his own experience working multiple jobs to pay rent in college.

DLHS Hour 2 | Should Grown Children Pay Rent at Parent’s Home Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

The Question of the Day shifts the conversation to whether a 29-year-old son and his partner should contribute $600 a month after moving into his parents’ home to escape a $3,700 rent bill, with the hosts and callers largely agreeing that grown adults should help cover food and utilities—and ideally use the reduced cost to save toward independence; the question lands at a time when about 20% of Americans ages 25 to 34 live with their parents, with high housing costs a major driver.

DLHS Hour 1 | Actor Da’Vinchi Calls Black Americans Lazy and to Forget Slavery Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

D.L. Hughley and the crew respond to actor Da’Vinchi’s appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday, where he criticized Americans as overly dependent and “incompetent” while discussing work ethic, parenting, and why overseas actors land U.S. roles; Newton pushed back that convenience and efficiency are not the same as laziness, and Da’Vinchi later acknowledged that his sweeping statement should have been more specific. The show rejects the broader framing—especially any suggestion that Black Americans should simply move past slavery—arguing that the institution’s legacy and the systems built from it still shape American life.

Full EP | 1200 Sexual Assaults at Cornell from 2018-2024; Jamal Kingsley on One Voyage Jeopardy; Actor and Comedian Niecy Nash Joins DLHS Crew; Woman Cancels Date Because of Man’s Attire; and More Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

From a campus accountability crisis to a first-date fashion emergency, D.L. Hughley and the crew bring sharp commentary, candid conversation, and plenty of laughs. D.L. responds to reporting that Cornell’s Title IX office received more than 1,200 reports involving sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking from 2018 through 2024; disciplinary charges were filed in 162 cases, at least one person was found responsible in 51, 14 resulted in suspension, and only seven ended in expulsion or dismissal. The troubling numbers fuel his wider critique of wealth, influence, and institutions that fail to hold powerful people accountable.

The mood lightens when Jamal Kingsley hosts One Voyage Jeopardy, challenging contestants to identify lyrics by cruise performers including E.U., Da Brat, and Dave Hollister; the 25th-anniversary One Voyage sailing is billed as six nights of music, culture, and community in support of HBCU scholarships and resources. Actor and comedian Niecy Nash then joins the show to discuss refusing stereotypical “sassy Black” roles, proving her dramatic range on HBO’s Getting On, and paying her success forward by helping others find work. The episode wraps with a viral dating debate after TikToker Wunderr says a woman canceled their first date just 15 minutes before pickup when she saw his glittering rhinestone shirt, pants, and shoes—an outfit that had the crew and the internet choosing sides over personal style, compatibility, and first impressions.

Show notes

It is Monday, but DL Hughley and the crew will make you feel like the weekend with a What Had Happened Friday. DL and the crew will play the best callers from last week’s Questions of the Day.

Former NBA player Royce White did and interview on Vlad TV speaking about his plans to sue the WNBA. He states that it is not his fault that he woke up and identified as a woman, so he should be able to play on the WNBA.

Oleebo the streaming hack warrior, is back with DL for another bootleg movie review. Today, Oleebo is reviewing the reboot Netflix series, A Different World. Hillman College is back in session with the original cast of our favorites, Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison, along with newcomers Maleah Joi Moon. Also, sometimes fans get upset with some of the things that DL has to say, so he gives them the opportunity to say F- You DL Hughley.
