It’s Official: Arsenio Hall to Launch New Late Night Talk Show in Fall 2013

Truth rating: 10

Arsenio Hall is returning to late night.

The “Celebrity Apprentice” winner will launch a new 11 p.m. syndicated talk show in September 2013, it was announced on Monday.

Hall’s still-untitled program is already set to be carried in the country’s top 10 markets, and 17 of the top 20.

“It’s an amazing feeling to be going HOME to my old friends and colleagues and firing up our ‘Night Thing,’” said Hall. “Let’s get busy… AGAIN!”

Hall’s original FOX show, a surprise hit as the youth-oriented alternative to Johnny Carson’s “The Tonight Show,” ran from 1989 to 1994.

The new program will be a partnership between CBS Television Distribution and Tribune, which will carry it on more than a dozen of its stations.

On Monday, CBS Television Distribution president John Nogawski said of Hall, “Years ago, he transcended time periods and attracted a crossover audience while bringing a fresh perspective to late night.”

He added, “That same need in the market exists today as when we originally launched. We are looking forward to the same success with Arsenio’s seasoned expertise and appeal in this genre.”

Will you be tuning into Hall’s return to the format he once helped reinvent?

    Arsenio Hall, like Rosie O’Donnell before him will fail this time.
    He fooled people back then into thinking he was a genuinely nice person. He’s not. He’s a rude, mean-spirited, black-hearted cad.
    The public can be fooled, and for a long time, but generally speaking once they know about someone, they don’t bite again.
    He’s untalented. He’s unattractive. He’s hateful. Next stop MSNBC or Current.

  • why hatred?

    Does the DRG stand for Grand Dragon? I think anybody Black you will put down. Everything can’t be White, then you won’t get an all around perspective of life. Looks isn’t everything. I think he looks good to be 57 years old. At least he isn’t filled with race hatred like you.

    No, I will not watch his show, didn’t like it before don’t understand the need for another late night show. Talk about saturation. Kinda like all the CSI shows. CBS might be trying to see if he has a following in case Letterman decides to retire in a couple of years.
