Oh my god, I'm just watching the rerun of this (didn't catch it the first time), and D.L. Hughley is saying things that people are actually booing and shaking their heads at. For instance, he was talking about the biggest mistakes of 2005 and mentioned the guy from Star Trek who came out of the closet. He said, "When you're that old, just stay in the closet. No one wants to see your Chinese ass rollerblading around West Hollywood in a pair of daisy dukes. And I know he's Japanese, but they all run from Godzilla the same way." People also didn't like him insulting TomKat. He even had an extended rant about how W could have ended up in a napkin if George Bush Sr. had "pulled out" sooner (he was first talking about the Iraq/Gulf War). Now, it's not that I thought everything he said was gutbusting, but I can get behind someone stirring things up like that (and, generally, being on point more often than not). What did you guys think?
