Comedian DL Hughley candidly discussed the often unspoken reality of joke-stealing in the comedy world. Reflecting on his early career, Hughley admitted to lifting jokes from the late Robin Harris. He recounted a pivotal moment when fellow comedian Tommy Davidson confronted him about using Harris' material. Though initially defensive, Hughley acknowledged Davidson was right, which led him to vow never to use another comedian's jokes again. Hughley addressed the broader issue by saying that while he can't confirm every comic steals jokes, he has witnessed many borrowing others' material. He also mentioned comedian Carlos Mencia, who faced severe backlash over similar accusations. Hughley expressed sympathy for Mencia, suggesting the punishment was disproportionate and commendably supporting efforts to reintegrate him into the comedy scene.
