‘Daily Show’ Host D.L. Hughley Finds WTF Moment In Fox News' Tyre Nichols Coverage

Lee Moran
·1-min read

Comedian D.L. Hughley jumped into the guest host chair for Monday’s episode of “The Daily Show” and immediately tackled the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols by police in Memphis, Tennessee.

Hughley sarcastically wondered why the five officers allegedly involved were arrested so fast.

“I’ve gotta wonder why. There’s something about them that looks fast-arrest-worthy,” he joked as images of the men, who are all Black, appeared on screen.

“I can’t put my finger on it, but I want to arrest them myself,” he added.

Hughley also highlighted a moment in Fox News’ coverage of the death that he “really did not see” coming, when former ESPN journalist Jason Whitlock attempted to link the violence to single, Black mothers.

“What the fuck is he talking about?” he asked.

  • Poor Albanian town pins tourism hopes on communist tunnels

    If you'd like to walk for miles in concrete burrows built to defend an isolationist totalitarian regime that nobody wanted to attack, Kukes in northeastern Albania is the place for you. Dug from the 1970s to the early 1990s — just in time for the communist regime's collapse — the underground network was meant to house the town's entire population of 16,000 for up to six months in case of war. Equipped with amenities running from a prosecutor's office to a maternity clinic, it was Albania's biggest fortification project with tunnels extending for up to seven kilometers (4 miles).
