DL Hughley on Getting Into Fistfight with Eddie Griffin, Now Close Friends (Part 22)

--------
DL Hughley shared a reminiscent account of a confrontation with George Lopez. The conflict allegedly sprang from accusations that Hughley had stolen one of Lopez's jokes; a claim Hughley completely dismisses. Hughley asserts that he had performed the contentious joke about parents serving as human remote controls for TVs years before Lopez. Proclaiming to have audio-visual proof, he explains the difference in recording quality between their respective jokes. Apparently, the heated dispute led to a physical standoff, which diffused when Hughley made a peace offering. Comedian Carlos Mencia, involved in the discussion, empathetically pointed out how age and experience generally reshape perspectives, and revealed his own past 'fistfight' with Eddie Griffin. Reflecting on their roller-coaster friendship, he asserted the importance of not taking oneself too seriously and listening to each other.

you know, that remote control joke has been told by comedians since the 80s. it's everyone's childhood who grew up in or before the 70s.

[ladarionaustin]

These Comedians Beef harder than rappers🎯🤣💯

[ronaldslater]

Back in my day, pretty much all kids were walking talking tv remotes...😂😂😂

[rtpowell]

Stranger things happens! It’s good to see they moved on and became friends and supporters of each other. Rappers need to learn from this.

[EliteBlackSash]

Man THAT’S the goal lol. To just randomly be able to throw your homie an easy, legal, $100K opportunity just on a random Friday.

[saonedixon]

Eddie Griffin is my favorite comedian of all times. Extremely funny and talented actor/comedian. Salute to you brother Eddie Griffin 💪💯 🙏

[johnsradios]

George took a kidney from his wife and then cheated on her. Accused Chips star of disrespecting him, not true and George attacked that young spanish comedian. George ain’t so nice.

[meaty]

That had to look like the goofiest fight ever😂😂

[willt.jolley]

Love to hear this story of redemption, repair, and respect turned into friendship!

[Xfactor-xn]

We were ALL Pour parents remote control. This is universal amongst our generation which is why it's funny because it's relatable. It's a shared experience.

[maxmeier]

Carlos stole some jokes, but he never stole a kidney!

[jasondavis]

I wish camera phones were around when DL and Eddie got into 😂😂😂

[mikebrown]

Let's kp it real. All this Carlos content is Vlad trying to get a response from Rogan.

[jamesedwards]

Moral of the story from DL, life might be too short to hold grudges. Go into a confrontation with an open mind or at least be willing to come out of it with one. Try to put yourself in the others shoes don’t be blinded by ego.

[realjohnlove]

1:45 they weren’t shooting stuff in widescreen in 2001. It sounds like Carlos pushing too much

[MrMaskmanAndMrLoveman]

Eddie Griffin and DL Hughley Gettting Into a Fistfight Is The Most Believable Story I've Ever Heard On VladTV HAHAHAHAHAH JOKER OUT!

[DuckDaPhillyFan]

DL Hughley actually said the joke in the early 90’s before either of them, ironically

[mrjoesmith]

Watching this entire three hour interview and DL is amazing.

[Dymez]

DL: I got into a really bad fight with Eddie Griffin years ago. He’s one of my dearest friends in comedy today.

Vlad: Yeah, I been to his house in Vegas.

[thetruthhurts]
