Its being reported that comedian DL Hughley is about to drop a brand new comedy special on Comedy Central! The new special titled DL Hughley: The Endangered List will give you, the viewer a different take on Hughley as he blends comedy and social commentary just in time for the election.

Check out the complete details below from the press release from Comedy Central;

NEW YORK – DL Hughley brings comedy to social commentary in the world premiere of his original one-hour social experiment, “DL Hughley: The Endangered List,” premiering on COMEDY CENTRAL on Saturday, October 27 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Despite promises of a post-racial America in the age of Obama, things have not improved for African-Americans.  Black households have lost 53% of their net worth in the recent recession, and one in three black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime.  Meanwhile, anyone that disrupts the habitat of the California tiger salamander gets slapped with a $50,000 fine.

What would happen if black people had the same protections as this salamander?  In this one-hour satirical documentary special, Hughley sets out to try to add “the black man” to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Endangered Species list.  He travels across the nation gathering evidence and interviewing experts on race, religion, and politics in a quest to save his people.  Throughout his journey, interspersed with segments from an all-new stand-up set, Hughley recruits a group of white sorority girls for support, challenges an anti-gay preacher, and even tries to see eye to eye with a Neo-Nazi.
