Comedian D.L. Hughley's CNN show "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News" will reportedly cease production by the end of March 2009. Though the performer's won't have his regular Saturday night comedy/news program any longer, he will still be in association with the popular news network. The network reported some of the details of the situation in a statement released last week: "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." Though reviews of the show were mixed at best, Hughley still managed to pull in approximately 200,000 viewers each night. And those numbers likely spiked after the comedian's interview with Republican National Chairman Michael Steele sparked a feud between the chairman and coservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

DAVID ALAN GRIER'S 'CHOCOLATE NEWS' CANCELLED
Television has suffered a sudden hemorrhage of black men. Within days of D.L. Hughley's CNN show being cancelled, Comedy Central announced Tuesday that David Alan Grier's "Chocolate News" has also been given a pink slip.
Grier did not mention the sketch comedy series Monday night during the video package that introduced his debut on "Dancing With the Stars."
With the cancellation of two African American males commenting on politics and current events, a TV critic for the Baltimore Sun asked, "Were one or both of the shows offensive to blacks, as some have claimed or are we the 'nation of cowards' when it comes to talking about race?""Jamaica's future reflects its past, having attained only one per cent annual growth over 30 years whilst neighbours have grown at five per cent."
