Uncertain with DL Hughley

America turned 250 and celebrated the only way it knows how: a few hundred masked white nationalists riding the Metro to the Capitol. DL breaks down white supremacy on a budget — racists take the train too — why you can't tell the Patriot Front from the ICE agents (they shop at the same store, and they mask up for the same reason), and the cosmic karma of MAGA families sheltering from the storm in...

DL is back and nobody is safe — not the Black Trump supporter who cornered him at a Chicago bus stop (and missed his bus AND the point), not Clarence Thomas, who DL calls “the Stephen A. Smith of the Supreme Court” after his 91-page dissent in the birthright citizenship ruling, and definitely not Megyn Kelly, who claims “we built this country” when her family didn’t clear customs until the party w...

In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley opens on a president who started a war but can't clean a pool — the vandalized reflecting pool, the peroxide, and what it says that the country swearing it can beat Iran can't beat algae — before getting into the "two Americas" gap between the detective who called DL back about a storage locker and the bank fraud nobody ever called Alex about. From there DL...

Plus: the homelessness money nobody can find, who's really stealing it (hint: it ain't poor peop...

DL's back in New York at Gotham Podcast Studio — a wall of liquor, a Knicks/Spurs/Giants debate nobody asked for, an Odell Beckham story that ended the second money came up, and Alex catching strays over a dude-wipe ad. Plus a shout-out to Jay-Z for still being slick, still relevant, and still holding onto all that hair. Then the heavier stuff: one last word on the Kevin Hart roast — Gary Owen, Jo...

In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley pours one out for Rob Base before getting into the most contentious writers' room the show has ever had. Two weeks in, the panel still can't let go of the Kevin Hart Roast, and DL stakes out the unpopular ground: a comedian should never apologize for a joke, let alone one he didn't tell. But Jasmine, Austin, and Alex aren't having it — if Hart cut 18 jokes...

In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley pays tribute to Barney Frank — the first openly gay congressman, a Freedom Summer volunteer, and a civil rights champion whose passing marks the end of an era — before turning to the death of Mark Fuhrman and what his career revealed about the LAPD, the most deadly police department in the country. From a sheriff's department gang that recruits from the Sou...

In this episode of Uncertain, DL Hughley borrows from Napoleon to diagnose what's wrong with this White House: there are no bad soldiers, only bad officers.
