Wrong. Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, and Dick Cavett.

I did 18mths in USA as a nanny ‘89-‘91 & LOVED Arsèneo Hall at midnight from my cool attic room. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it was about him, but he was magical, kind, relatable perfect. He will forever be part of my cherished teen memories in Boston. Thanks for your homage

That was a great broadcast thank you for bringing that to us I do miss Arsenio Hall I used to love to watch this late night show God bless you Arsenio

I met him at a movie premier in 1997 and Arsenio was the nicest, most down to earth, gracious guy.

I remember Arsenio and MC Hammer speaking in code about why he was being cancelled. They were talking about Farrakhan without actually mentioning his name.

He was an amazing entertainment man. Management didn't really seem to want him anywhere, anymore.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING!!! That continued MISpronounciation made it so hard 2 watch this!

how many different ways can you pronounce a name? hmm-let's watch this video and see!

In 1987 they let arsenio hall co host the Joan rivers show on Fox he was on fire the rest is history he got his own show and the networks got afraid they knew if he continued late night tv would have been his domain and while all this was going on Byron Allen was building an empire quietly

Byron's show aired on the weekends. I like it, but he was no "Arsenio."

I think he is gr8. I’ll always be happy to see him in any show.

Arsenio Hall came at a time when Johnny Carson's schtick was getting too old and he couldn't connect with the widely growing younger generation that became the audience of Arsenio's show,as Arsenio's show ended too soon before the O.J. Simpson controversy as Arsenio was an anti-O.J. crusader who would have been an important voice that could have changed the outcome of O.J.'s murder trial(had his show still been on the air). And Arsenio returned too late at a time when other talk show hosts(such as Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel) were dominant as Arsenio was lucky that his return show lasted for one season(with several people saying that Arsenio lost his edginess in choosing attention grabbing guests). And after the end of his MTV talk show after one season,Jon Stewart moved onto other ventures including becoming a championing progressive liberal voice.

Use to sneak and stay up to watch him show 💙💙

@@waltersimmons946 @YoungoneYoung-lm4xe I was living in Brooklyn at the time. Farakahn had a "moderate" influence but VERY respected FROM a distance - within the Black Community. Intentions seemed good, but too contaversial even by NYC standards. Go figure 😁 The Million March was successful! I however opted to watch it all day on CNN. Not trying to be negative, but I was like...okay what happens after? Well, the vibe out here was DAF, for a few weeks. Brothers were all motivated to getting they ish together, and planning this and that for various communities. Then everyone just forgot and went back to normal life. No follow up plans, or concrete strategy in place made him kinda fade away like Arsineo. Back to Arsineo,...when I heard the news about a return to late night, almost got excited, but sht done changed up. Some of his ideas land format style, had already been incorporated by the current late night shows. Dog Pound 2.0? Corny. By the middle of the new show, I was like ..."Naaaaah. Once again, its a WRAP"! 😅 Overall his original TV run will always be CLASSIC and Groundbreaking. Props.

His ratings kept sliding down!

I loved watching Arsenio over Letterman or Leno because of his personality.

Did... did he just say Jay Leeno?

Whatever the reason it SUCKED! And on top of that others actually stole his phrases! IE..Put your hands together….Give it up for…..So & so is in the ….house & many many more! I miss him!

Narrator needs to learn how to pronounce people's names! "I made a decision to stop working"....always here this when someone's been shown the door. Hey, he had a nice run, then it was done. No biggie. Be happy for what was.

One time he even had Jason Voorhees on!

Letterman was only serious a couple of times. The rest of the time he was homey the clown. The still-reining King, Johnny balked at asking hard questions or having controversial guests on. Sajak and Chevy Chase failed miserably as late night hosts. Mike Douglas was afternoon. Affable but made us listen to his horrible singing. He thought of himself as a singer, not talk show host. David Cavett is a fascinating study into standing on a stage. He believed he was a genius. He had the lowest budget mid week cardboard backed show with the greatest guests in history. Mohammed Ali, Henry Kissenger, John and Yoko, the brainiacs of the western world. Yet you had to listen to his asinine opening monolog while he laughed at his own stupid humor with the cheap set falling down around him. And it was literal torture to see that TV Guide says he's got the best guest ever back stage growing moss while he foists jokes on you that prove emphatically that he didn't have any writing staff. It was at simultaneously the cheapest way for a network to burn electrons while it was the ONLY show ever where the biggest icons in America came and spoke honestly and freely.

"Arsenio" ran its course. It is difficult to be trendy over the long haul. It was a great show nonetheless.

He was unpleasant to Vanilla Ice.

I watched Arsenio Hall EVERY NIGHT until He was Very Rude and Bullying 17 Year Old VANILLA ICE. Arsenio's Show was Famous for Helping Young People get FAMOUS. But after that I lost RESPECT for Him and STOPPED watching His Show.
