Arsenio! If you ask different people where they first saw Arsenio Hall, you’d probably get a number of different answers. But, it was the success of his Emmy-Award winning late night talk show The Arsenio Hall Show that made Arsenio a household name. Arsenio began his career early on opening for major headliners including Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and Stevie Wonder. A short time later, Arsenio attempted to diversify his career by making numerous appearances on television shows such as Solid Gold and The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. In 1987, Arsenio was asked to replace Joan Rivers on the Fox Network series The Late Show. On the strength of his work as interim host, he was signed to a film and television deal with Paramount Pictures which led to co-writing and co-starring with Eddie Murphy in the hit comedy Coming to America. On January 3, 1989, The Arsenio Hall Show made its debut. Virtually overnight, Arsenio changed the face of late night television by captivating young viewers across the country. During his successful five year run as Executive Producer, Arsenio provided a forum for cutting edge comedy, politics, and the television debut of such pop superstars as Mariah Carey, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Boyz to Men and countless others. In 1994 Arsenio was again ready to grow and diversify. He resigned from the late night gabfest to pursue other personal and professional interests. In 1998, Arsenio joined the cast of CBS dramedy, Martial Law. He played detective Terrell Parker a streetwise L.A.P.D. cop. Arsenio remained a member of the cast for two seasons and then took on the most challenging task to date: he returned to stand-up comedy for the first time in over a decade. In 2004, Arsenio returned to host the second season of Star Search on CBS. Arsenio came back yet again in 2013, hosting his latest late night talk show entitled, you guessed it, “Arsenio.” Keep your eyes open for more to come from this comedic superstar in the near future.
