The talk show fulfilled one of D.L.’s dreams to host his own late night talk show. Also currently airing on Comedy Central is D.L.’s one-hour comedy special “Shocked and Appalled.” On the CD side, D.L.’s long-awaited comedy CD Notes From the GED Section is currently available. It was the mega-hit ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY that launched D.L. into superstardom. The film, based on the 1999 tour featuring D.L., Bernie Mac, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, garnered close to $40 million at the box office and became one of the highest selling DVDs in 2001.

In 1999 comedians D.L., Bernie, Steve and Cedric embarked on this national tour, which sold out most of the major concert arenas in over 50 cities across the country.
