“We are excited to grow our partnership with an amazing talent like DLHughley, who’s already a part of our Urban One family,”        said Michelle Rice, TV One General Manager.
“DL will courageously shine a light on the issues facing black America with his unique brand of humor, intelligence and thought-provoking perspective.”


Shot in a stylized studio, the look and feel of THE DL HUGHLEY SHOW is patterned after a traditional radio show, adapted for television and will be taped in-studio four days a week from Burbank, CA. 

THE DL HUGHLEY SHOW is produced for TV One by Pygmy Wolf Productions with DL Hughley and KP Anderson serving as Executive Producers. Sonya Vaughn and Charlie Gerencer serve as Co-Executive Producers and Jade Mills serves as Executive in Charge of Production. Melanie Massie serves as Talent Producer. For TV One, Susan Henry and Regina Thomas serve as Executive Producers in Charge of Production.

Singer Gareth Asher: Keeping Up With Family Tradition

If you have been following When We Speak TV
throughout the years then Gareth Asher is definitely not a new face to you. 
Back when we first began, Gareth was one of our very early interviews.  
We can never forget that day in  2012, meeting with Gareth on the balcony of Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA.

The entire interview was amazing but what took the interview to  the next level was when Gareth took out his guitar and began to sing for Jermaine Sain.  "I have the perfect song for you", Gareth tells Jermaine as he prepares his guitar to play and sing.  
Once Gareth began to sing, it was like watching a live music video recording.  His voice was so soothing and the guitar accommodated his vocals so perfectly!
