Cable often turns to comedians to talk about the news, so it was only a matter of time before one would get a show on CNN.
Starting Oct. 25, King of Comedy alum D.L. Hughley will have an hour on Saturday nights at 10 pm/ET (with a repeat on Sunday) to riff on the week's events. The weekly show — tentatively called D.L. Hughley Breaks the News — will combine comedy with interviews with newsmakers and CNN correspondents.

Nonetheless, Hughley quickly moved on and is now going off in his new HBO stand-up special, "Unapologetic" (airing Saturday at 10 pm/ET).

Comedy Central has greenlit the pilot Michael Ian Black Doesn't Understand, which Variety describes as a "scripted showcase" for the oh-so-dry, poker-faced funnyman....
