It's Official: Arsenio Hall Returning to TV With Late-Night Talk Show

The late-night talk show from CBS Television Distribution has already been sold in all top 10 markets and 17 of the top 20, covering 52 percent of the country.

It's official: Arsenio Hall is returning to television, partnering with CBS Television Distribution for a late-night talk show.

The project will see the former host of The Arsenio Hall Show reteam with CBSTVD, whose previous incarnation, Paramount Domestic Television, oversaw his syndicated late-night talker that ran from 1989-94.

"We're excited to welcome Arsenio back to the family and partnering on his new, late-night syndicated talk show,” CBSTVD president John Nogawski said in announcing the news Monday. "Arsenio had a substantial following with his previous late-night show, and that same 18-34 audience is now right in the middle of the late-night core audience of 35-54. Years ago, he transcended time periods and attracted a crossover audience while bringing a fresh perspective to late night. 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.”

Hall's new Monday-Friday entry will bow in fall 2013, with CBSTVD partnering with Tribune broadcasting stations for the show, which already has been sold in the top 10 markets and 17 of the top 20 -- covering 52 percent of the country. With Tribune aboard, the strip will launch on 17 stations including WIPX New York and KTLA Los Angeles at 11 p.m. and WGN Chicago at 10 p.m.

In May, Hall defeated former American Idol contestant Clay Aiken to be crowned the fifth-cycle winner of NBC's Donald Trump-hosted Celebrity Apprentice and has been vocal with his desire to return to the talk-show circuit.

Recent speculation indicated that Hall would return to the small screen as the host of a syndicated daytime talk show.

"It's an amazing feeling to be going home to my old friends and colleagues and firing up our 'Night Thing,’ " Hall said. “Let's get busy ... again!”

The as-yet-untitled taker has been cleared in markets including Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Detroit, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Denver, Cleveland, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Mo., Greensboro, N.C., and Norfolk, Va.

“As Tribune evolves, we will continue to add first-run, original programming," Tribune Broadcasting president of programming and entertainment Sean Compton said. "Arsenio will be exclusive to broadcast and is a natural fit for our stations’ Monday-Friday late-night time period."

The show will be produced by CBSTVD in association with Arsenio Hall Communications and Octagon Entertainment Productions. Hall will executive produce alongside his manager, John Ferriter. The entry joins CBSTVD fare including such daytime entries as Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, Judge Joe Brown and The Jeff Probst Show.

Glad he worked out a deal. We need him back more now than ever..Hope its based here in Hollywood again so i can attend on a regular basis again...

LOL! I doubt Brother Minister will be invited back, lol

I'm looking forward to this because his old show was the best late night show IMO.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

That is great news - I have seen some great interviews with him in the past (loved madonna on his show - she did a great performance of Fever on there) - hope that Aussie TV (free to air) picks this up.

Used to have Austar but find it is expensive for what you get - so much reality garbage.

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

NICE!

I recorded so many live performances from The Arsenio Hall show... on VHS.

Now THAT show was the business... ALL acts performed live.

Peace.

I loved Arsenio back in the day. I will definitely watch his new show. I hope he gets the support he needs to stay on. It's my understanding his last show was canceled due to low ratings. You gotta watch if you want him to have success.
