D.L. Hughley special on HBO tonight

by Terri
D.L. Hughley

If you’ve got HBO, you can see D.L. Hughley tonight at 10 p.m. (and, knowing HBO, endlessly thereafter) in an hour-long stand-up comedy special, D.L. Hughley: Unapologetic. According to HBO:

“Taped in front of a live audience in Washington, DC, D.L. Hughley: Unapologetic offers a full hour’s worth of all-new comedy material, focusing on such topics as the dangers of living in Washington, the qualifications of the 2008 presidential candidates, the current administration, immigration, Cuban refugees, airplane restrictions, the ‘n’ word, Don Imus and freedom of speech. And, of course, Hughley will spend some time ‘interacting’ with hapless audience members in the first row.”

Gotta love those quotes around “interacting,” don’t you? I’ve never seen a Hughley stand-up performance, but judging from most comedians, “interacting” here means “mocking and abusing.” Do people have to sign a waiver to sit in the front row? Do they do so knowingly? I prefer a dark table in the back.

You can watch a video excerpt from the special on the HBO site, and watch a video of one of the things Hughley’s unapologetic about — his comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team on the Tonight Show — in the YouTube selection below.

Personally, I wish I had a DVD already of Hughley’s work on Studio 60 to watch instead. Or that HBO would just keep running John from Cincinnati marathons. But that’s just me. Weird, but unapologetic.

About Watching Studio60

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a show about making a show -- a Friday night sketch comedy living and dying by the ratings and the buzz and the bottom line. It also turned out to be about the ways that overinflated expectations and caustic criticism can doom a TV drama. Still, if you're a fan of great acting and Aaron Sorkin's way with dialog, there's a lot to love in Studio 60's sole season. Read here to look back at the show, and look forward at what the cast and creative powers are doing now.
