D.L. Hughley's comedy news show, done in the spirit of "The Daily Show" meets "Real Time with Bill Maher" has been axed by CNN.
"D.L. Hughley Breaks the News" is officially kaput.
D.L. Hughley's comedy show is ending as the comedian reportedly "assumes new responsibilities" for the cable channel, CNN announced on Thursday.
In a statement, the network said, "D.L. approached CNN about being permanently based in Los Angeles, where his family lives. To accommodate this, we agreed upon a new role where he will be a contributor for the network based in Los Angeles. We are eager to continue our relationship with D.L., who is a tremendous talent and a valued colleague."
No finale date has been set.
