Comedian DL Hughley Collapses on Stage
Comedian D.L. Hughley had some sort of medical emergency Friday night ... he was performing at a Nashville club when he went limp and passed out cold.
D.L. was performing at Zanies Comedy Club and a sold out crowd was enjoying his jokes when suddenly, at around 11 PM, it appeared something was amiss. His speech became labored. A security guard handed D.L. a bottle of water, and a minute later he just passed out cold while he was leaning against a stool.
The comedian's manager was at the ready and grabbed D.L. to break his fall. The manager carried him off stage and that was it ... no one told the crowd what happened, but it was serious enough for an ambulance and fire truck to show up. D.L. was put on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital.

[quote]7:12 AM PT -- D.L. is gonna be okay. His rep tells TMZ ... he was "suffering from exhaustion after all the week's work and travel, and was kept overnight at the hospital for tests under doctor's orders. He is awake and feeling better, and wishes to thank everyone for the very kind prayer and thoughts."

Has anybody not in show business ever been hospitalized for "exhaustion"?

You can get exhaustion for about $200 a gram in Nashville.

Maybe he saw Chadwick Boseman's pictures and had no fainting coach available.

How this guy still has a career is beyond me. Never funny and always arrogant.

Probably saw a gay guy in the audience.

He’s not your friend, Ellen. Stop trying to appropriate black comedians to look better.

Apparently he has Covid. Though Covid could be the new "exhaustion."

How many people in the audience did he now give it to?

He may be asymptomatic but I would bet anything it's affected his lungs, hence the syncope.

Love that syncope rhythm.

All of them, because the asshole wasn't wearing a mask.

Unless it’s a massive stroke, most stroke victims don’t simply lose consciousness. They are also not awake, alert and oriented the next day.

R35, it wouldn’t be all of them under ordinary circumstances. Even the testing done about restaurants doesn’t have everyone who was in the restaurant with an infected person becoming infected.

Great, this is going to skew the numbers even more. NO ONE is going to admit they went to see DL Hughley do stand up. They'd sooner admit they got it a bathhouse.

It has now been revealed that Hughley has COVID-19.

Good scoop, Cronkite at r39.
Nice job!
I mean we only knew that for a day or so, but that’s OK.

Well Toots, if I had wanted to spend the time to read through the whole thread I would have known that. But I didn't. So pull your crinolines back out. They're getting too ruffled and we can see some naked ankle. Keep it up and they'll call you slut!

Yeah, he’s right because what’s the point of even having threads where people talk about things. How could he have kno...oh, wait.
That’s the whole basis of a discussion board, you muppet!
