Sound Off: D.L. Hughley
Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 5:26 pm.
“He does look like the dude from ‘Mad’ magazine. It’s so funny because he ain’t a cool dude to me. He’s like a tall Urkel dude (the bespectacled nerd from the ’90s sitcom ‘Family Matters’). But for the first black president, I’ll take him. … Like, how bad a president is George Bush, when the country goes, ‘You know, we’ll try the black guy’?”
- Comedian and host of the 2008 BET Awards, D.L. Hughley, on Barack Obama.
Does this mean if he wins in November, will he hit us with a “Did I do that?”

He did a horrible job of hosting….soooo corny!
D.L. is such a loser, he’s never been funny…HE NEVER SHOULD’VE BEEN A KING OF COMEDY cause he’s a loser. Obama is making history for campaigning to be the first black president of the U.S., not only is he making history if you listen to his policies and procedures he plans on bringing to the white house he should be applauded. Comparing Bush to Obama is an insult. Grow up D.L. seriously.
D.L. Sucks!! He is simple and weak.
I’m so sorry, to inform DL, whom i enjoy most of the time, but Obama is hot and sexy, something about that voice and many women feel the same. Of course he won’t get my vote because of this….
He did do a terrible job hosting…. BET could have pick someone better.
DL is so simple. He was horrible last night worst than when the Wayans hosted. Bring back Monique or The Smiths.
D.L. is a very talented comedian. I wasn’t impressed with some of his jokes, but overall he did a good job hosting the show.
HE IS A LAME HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER HOSTED THE BET AWARDS HE IS NOT FUNNY THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD KATT WILLIAMS
He was TERRIBLE!!! I was hoping that Mo’Nique was going to bring it again. Oh Well…..
i’ve never been a fan of DL Hugley. he was just as lame last night as he has always been. i don’t know how he was one of the kings of comedy. BET should’ve asked someone else to host the show. all of his jokes were lame!
BET should have Bernie mac host the bet awards next year. D L aint never been funny to me, and I dont think that he ever will be.
I think D.L. Hugley was okay. For this to be one of the nations hottest award shows, Okay is not good enought. He should have been hilarious. Why didn’t he have an intro. Past Host always had a BOMB entrance, The Smiths with the Royal entrance, and Ms. Monique ALWAYS doing her thing with ther Madame’s working it out!! Great awards show overall!! Love ya Keyshia Cole…
DL sucked
hughley wasnt as bad as i thought he’d be
but he tried so heard to please people
he did okay
they were better off having terrence and rosci host the show at least they are popular
THE OBAMA COMMENT WAS UNCALLED FOR
AND HE TRIED TO HEARD
being funny is not always about dissing people
its about making people laugh
and having that wow factor
and hughley doesnt have it
if you washed the end of the show and the after party section, he seemed so relieved that it was over and he was so nervous
Thanks for the shout out to Missouri DL.
BET, PLEASE give the hosting job back to Mo’Nique! I’m sorry but D.L was was a sleeper!
earth to THE BET PEOPLE
DONT EVER PUT HUGHLEY ON THE STAGE AS A HOST AGAIN
they should of picked someone hotter and better
nelly maybe or even terrence and rosci
he isnt funny, he was nervous and tried to hard
no one really liked his act
he wasnt as bad as i thought he would be
Hughley thinks that you have to insult people in order to be funny and that’s not true
he sucked
