DLHS Hour 1 | Black content creator creates catchy jingle for Dr. Pepper Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

The show opens with the feel‑good story of a young Black content creator whose homemade “Dr Pepper, baby, it’s good and nice” jingle exploded on TikTok, racking up more than 25–40 million views depending on the platform, eventually landing her an official commercial spot during the College Football Playoff National Championship. Dr Pepper licensed the jingle, credited creator Romeo Bingham (@romeosshow), and is now working with her on future content — a major win for organic Black creativity in advertising.

FULL EP | No cars in Los Angeles at the 2028 Olympic Games; Did the aunt overstep with her funky nephew; Music icon Stevie Wonder joins DLHS crew; Five things you will not miss about drinking; and More Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

From a car‑free Olympic vision to a funky family feud, this episode of The D.L. Hughley Show brings the heat, the humor, and the heart. The team breaks down Los Angeles’ bold plan to create a “no‑car” 2028 Olympics, a move backed by major transit expansions, 3,000+ borrowed buses, and an all‑public‑transportation access model. Inspired in part by Paris’ 2024 accessibility success, Mayor Karen Bass aims to reduce congestion and push remote work, reviving LA’s investment in rail and bus infrastructure for a greener Games.

The show then dives into a heated “Question of the Day” about whether an aunt overstepped by buying deodorant for her bullied nephew—an issue echoing real viral debates about hygiene, adolescence, and parental boundaries. Later, music legend Stevie Wonder joins the crew, offering wisdom on healing a “nation’s broken heart” and speaking about his ongoing charitable commitments, including changes to his House Full of Toys benefit events after recent cancellations due to time constraints—not health concerns. Finally, Jasmine Sanders delivers her Top 5 Things You Won’t Miss About Drinking, a list that aligns with well‑documented benefits of cutting alcohol, including better sleep, improved blood pressure, and enhanced mental clarity.

FULL EP | Federal prosecutors investigate Minneapolis church protest; Are Black people better off before or after Dr. King was here; New York City largest nurses strike goes on for a second week; Top five black people working against the cause; and MORE Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

This episode kicks off with a tense national flashpoint as federal prosecutors dig into the chaotic Minnesota church protest, where anti‑ICE demonstrators stormed a St. Paul sanctuary after learning a pastor also served as the local ICE field director. The DOJ is weighing charges under the FACE Act, and top officials—from Attorney General Pam Bondi to Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon—have condemned the disruption, even scrutinizing journalist Don Lemon’s on‑site coverage. This leads into the show’s Question of the Day: Are Black people better off now than during Dr. King’s lifetime? Callers and hosts wrestle with progress versus regression, noting ongoing issues like racism, political backlash, and economic inequality — debates that mirror current reporting on racial climate and the politicization of MLK’s legacy.

The conversation then shifts to New York City, where the largest nurses' strike in city history continues into its second week. Over 15,000 nurses remain on strike demanding safe staffing ratios, protection from workplace violence, and fair healthcare benefits, with major hospitals and the nurses’ union still deadlocked. Jasmine Sanders closes the show with her “Top 5 Black People Working Against the Cause,” naming figures like Candace Owens, Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, Stephen A. Smith, and Nicki Minaj — a list that hits differently given real‑world political tensions and recent controversies involving Owens and Minaj circulating in the media.
