With Arsenio and Chelsea getting the ax, all of the late-night talk show hosts are white males around 40 years old (except Letterman and Ferguson).

Looks like sexism, racism, and white supremacy wins again.

Yeah it seems that way to me. The only ones who are given a shot at having a successful late night show are all the same...

I love Arsenio Hall. He had guests on his show that you won't see on other shows...it's the same reason I loved Sinbad. Funny how some people are given time to build a following and some not.

Who the hell knew who Jimmy Kimmel was before his show aired? I wouldn't say he's funnier than Arsenio either but I don't see his show getting cancelled anytime soon.

I think that the writers were not a good fit for him because the skits were stupid and the format of the show didn't seem to reflect him but he tried to make it work anyway.

I can think of a dozen worse shows off the top of my head.

I did.

Jimmy and Adam Corolla did The Man Show on Comedy Central.

Who is Adam Corolla?

I did. Jimmy Kimmel got his first big break on Fox NFL Sunday Pregame Show in the 1990's.

Okay, now that you mention Fox NFL you're the only one who made me remember who he is.

Even on Fox NFL he wasn't as funny as Siragusa is.

From the way Arsenio is being treated, you think he was guilty as charge for having Professor Griff on the show to discuss the Illuminati.

[Edited 6/1/14 5:13am]

I could see somebody getting cancelled because of Griff 'cause he will scare a muthaphucka,

I noticed that even Flava-flav had more than one season so that tells me the more acceptable format is coonery.

Another one I'm scratching my head over. What exactly is entertaining about him?

I'm too lazy to look this up but I wonder how Kimmel's first season ratings fared. I think Seth Meyers is likeable but was surprised when he landed his own late night show. I think Arsenio had interesting nights as well. No late night host is going to have all of the A-list actors, singers, etc. every single night

Ha, coonery is another part of this equation. I wonder if there's any chance that he'll get picked up by another network. Oprah, Magic, anyone?

Thats what Arsenio Hall will say later on. He always burns his bridges when a show he does gets cancelled.

Has production stopped, or does he still have a few more episodes to go?

I was wondering the same thing when I saw that they canceled him. You know, just early last week I was wondering why Arsenio had reruns going for like 10 days or so, especially when it's May sweeps month! I hope they at least give him a chance to have a proper "goodbye" on TV instead of this career killer tactic that these corporate goons did. They have some nerve having Leno "surprise" Aresnio with news of a show renewal and then just take it back like that? This kinda stuff would never happen to the other late night hosts.

If you you want to see pissed off puppets then rent Crank Yankers. But if you like watching women jumping on trampolines then rent the Man Show

From what I read, production ended May 21 and reruns have been airing ever since.

It's beyond me how they could leave a shrew like Wendy Williams on and take Arsenio off?

Or Kelly Rippa and Michael Strachan, or the damn View....

I could go on and on...hell Oprah or TVOne should bring back Arsenio AND Sinbad,

What about when Conan was whining when he got double-crossed by NBC? No one complained that he was upset, so why be upset if Arsenio is vocal about this raw deal that's been handed to him.

Yeah Wendy Williams is a character. Every blue moon I watch her show but she seems extremely treacherous and causes trouble with what she says sometimes. Another terrible move was how the network had Arsenio appearing on a bunch of TV shows to promote the show just a WEEK before they gave him the ax. Who does that? How are you sent out to promote a show because you thought it was renewed and then suddenly dropped like nobody's business?

The way they did Arsenio is suspect...like he didn't kiss the right ass or something.

Wendy is rachet as hell. Didn't some rapper go upside her head once? I hear she's been threatened numerous times.

anyone remember Arsenio on Solid Gold?

check him out at the 2:38 mark (prepare not to laugh)

I remember when he was on the show the only thing I remember was that he was not very funny and he wore gloves like Eddie Murphy. When he got his own show I was like "WTF!"

Agreed. It seems like it was abrupt and the way they did it was very tacky. Maybe they just set him up to fail this time around. The majority of people who actually run the entertainment businesses would never pull this kind of stunt on Jimmy Kimmel

Wendy Williams really pissed off Tupac because she put a terrible rumor about him on her radio show back in the day. Apparently Quincy Jones made a pass at Tupac, or something to that effect. I don't know how she gets her dirt on people but she seems to have eyes and ears everywhere. I think she gets the info from the entourages that the celebs travel in. Or, if the celeb is desperate for publicity they may call and tell her themselves!

I also remembered the on-air feud between Terry Bradshaw & Jimmy Kimmel. Both men used to ribbed the hell out of each other.
