Joining the long line of celebs turning ideas into Webtoons, comedian D.L. Hughley is taking his edgy stand-up act to the Internet. The series, entitled LET ME HOLLER @ YA, will feature animated segments ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes from the comedian’s stand-up act. Unlike deals such as Kelsey Grammer’s with MediaTrip which gives the actor stock in the Website, @ YA is part of the marketing campaign to promote Hughley’s sitcom, THE HUGHLEYS, move from ABC to UPN. Forty Webisodes will be produced by AntEye.com and distributed around the Web to sites like iFuse.com and TheSource.com. UPN spokesman Paul MacGuire said, "We’re hoping it gets all over the Internet." Hughley said, "It’s like working in stand-up on HBO – no limitations. There’s no censorship on the Web, but we’ll give them a reason for it."
