About D.l. Hughley

Darryl Lynn “D.L.” Hughley has established himself as one of the most prominent voices in comedy with a career spanning over three decades.

Hughley’s comedic style combines biting social commentary with personal observations, often addressing race relations, politics, and contemporary issues in American society. Beyond stand-up, he created and starred in the sitcom “The Hughleys,” which ran from 1998 to 2002, hosted his own late-night talk show on CNN, and has authored several books including “I Want You to Shut the F#ck Up: How the Audacity of Dopes Is Ruining America.”

In recent years, Hughley has maintained a strong presence on social media, where he regularly shares his unfiltered thoughts on current events and politics. His Instagram account (@realdlhughley) features a mix of comedy clips, political commentary, and promotional content for his various projects.

His Instagram feed includes numerous posts critical of the Trump administration, with pointed remarks about cabinet appointments and policy decisions. In one recent post, he commented on child labor and tariffs, writing, “They’re bringing back child labor and tariffs, might as well bring back the great depression!”

This political edge has long been part of Hughley’s brand. He frequently ends his posts with the hashtag #TeamDL, creating a sense of community among his followers who appreciate his particular blend of humor and commentary.
