CNN is getting into the comedy business.

Executives at the cable news channel announced today that starting Oct. 25, CNN will air a Saturday night comedy show hosted by D.L. Hughley, in which the comedian mocks the news events of the previous week and interviews the real-life reporters who covered the stories.

The show is tentatively named D.L. Hughley Breaks the News.
