D.L. Hughley Says He’ll Never Go On Shannon Sharpe’s ‘Club Shay Shay’ Podcast: “It Is Too Messy”

D.L. Hughley has spoken on the comedic phenomeno n that kicked off earlier this year with Katt Williams after he went viral on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. Hughley expressed during a recent appearance on VladTV that he’d “never” join Sharpe on his show due to the assumption that the former NFL star wants another “Katt Williams moment.”

“I think that, like any other endeavor, there are jealousies, idiosyncrasies,” he began regarding the controversial tales often shared on Club Shay Shay. “I don’t think that’s indicative of the experiences that most of us have. After the Katt Williams interview, which was a phenomenon, he kept trying to replicate it. ‘Let me bring on somebody else to have a beef.’ Like, I can understand it was a phenomenon. But then, all of a sudden, you try to replicate it.”

“For me, as a matter of principle, it is too messy,” he continued. “Now, I think it’s morphed into something else because I think that brook has run dry. But for me, it’s just all of those people I saw on there were people who wanted to go on there because of what happened on Undisputed . The way Skip did him made me and a lot of other Black people go ‘F**k this, we’re going to make sure this brother’s okay.'”

The actor then made it clear why he wouldn’t sit across from Sharpe to give him another viral moment.

“For me, I would never do it. I was going to do it a long time ago. Honestly, before that happened, I had been slated to do it a couple of different times,” he revealed. “I just didn’t. I’m glad he’s making his money, I’m glad he’s doing what he’s doing. I’m not jealous or hateful. It’s just a personal thing I wouldn’t do. And people can say, ‘Why you do Vlad and not him?’ I f**k with you. [He] don’t need me anyway. And he was my favorite football player ever. He’s my favorite tight-end ever, ever.”

Hughley was referring to the interview where Williams called out Cedric The Entertainer, Steve Harvey, Faizon Love and others. To date, the Williams interview is Sharpe’s highest viewed episode of all time.

“Everybody was talking ’bout, ‘well how much money [he] made doing the Katt Williams interview;’ I just got the check,” the former Undisputed cohost told Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson during an episode of their Nightcap podcast. “Put it like this here, I made more money on Katt Williams alone than I made in any year I played in the NFL.”

The 55-year-old chose not to reveal the dollar amount he’s earned from the sit-down, but alluded to the total being around $6,000,000. “So whatever you think I made, 3x it. So if you think I made five hundred thou, 3x it. If you think a million, 3x it. If you think I made $2 million, 3x it.”
