D.L. was a troublesome teenager, a gang member and school rebel who was expelled from high school, before going straight and obtaining his GED, then getting a job with The Los Angeles Times. He started his career in entertainment in the stand-up comedy program in 1992 called ComicView, then later became a producer and acted in the TV show entitled “The Hughleys”. This of course contributed significantly to Hughley’s net worth. What is more, Hughley appeared in Studio 60 on the Sunset Trip, Scrubs, and The Original Kings of Comedy. While being a part of these shows D.L. had an opportunity to work with Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Ken Jenkins, Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet and many others.

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006)] I think that like most things that are highly touted – the number-one draft pick – we crumpled under the weight of expectations. I think that’s a fairly common phenomenon. I think we could have not taken ourselves so seriously. We pulled back the curtain too much. It’s like when you go to a restaurant: It can be the best restaurant in the world, but I just want to eat the meal. I don’t want to know how they make the steak. I think we spent so much time explaining and making what we did “important.” We weren’t inclusive enough. We had conversations with ourselves to hear ourselves. |
