Arsenio Hall (born February 12, 1956) is an American comedian, talk show host, writer, and producer.

He is best known for his hosting The Arsenio Hall Show, a late-night talk show that ran from 1989 to 1994 and then again from 2013 to 2014. Other television shows and films in Hall include Martial Law, Star Search (host), and Harlem Nights (1989).

On the talk show Thicke of the Night, Hall is also known for his appearance as Alan Thicke's sidekick. Hall also appeared on NBC's reality-commission game show Celebrity Apprentice 5.

Early years

Hall was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and the son of Fred and Annie Hall. His father is a Baptist minister. When he was a child, Hall appeared as a magician. He graduated from Warrensville Heights, Ohio, in 1973, after briefly attending John F. Kennedy High School. He later attended Ohio University and Kent State University.

Personal life

Hall gave an interview in 1997 to dispel rumors about what had pushed him off stage after being out of the public eye for three years. "I went on the Internet, and I discovered I was in detox at Betty Ford." I logged in under a fake name and wrote in, 'I know Arsenio better than anyone else, and you fools!'

Hall has just one son, who was born in 1998. Hall claims he took time off to raise his son before resuming The Arsenio Hall Show in 2013. Hall had a desire to return to the market eventually, but he didn't have to announce his decision until he appeared on Lopez Tonight in 2009 (although he didn't want to compete in ratings against his buddy George Lopez).

Hall filed a $5 million defamation complaint against Sinéad O'Connor on May 5, 2016, after she said he fuelled Prince's heroin use and spiked her drink at a party at Eddie Murphy's house. After O'Connor apologized and retracted her charges, Hall dropped the case.

Career

Hall later travelled to Chicago and then Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy, as well as a few appearances on Soul Train. He was the announcer/sidekick for Alan Thicke on the short-lived talk show Thicke of the Night (a job for which he has occasionally expressed his inconversity with Monty Hall).

He appeared on five weeks of Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour, the short-lived NBC game show Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour from 1983 to 1984. Winston Zeddemore appeared in the animated series The Real Ghostbusters from 1986 to 1987. He was also the first voice of Winston Zeddemore. In 1988, he co-starred in the comedy film Coming to America with Eddie Murphy. He founded Arsenio Hall Communications in 1987 and later decided to produce films for an exclusive deal with Paramount Pictures.

The late Show Starring Joan Rivers, which was produced in 1986, was the first show to directly oppose The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. After a modest start, ratings for the show slowed. Rivers' links with network executives at Fox quickly eroded, and she left in 1987. The show was subsequently renamed The Late Show and starred many upcoming hosts, including Ross Shafer, Suzanne Somers, Shawn Thompson, Richard Belzer, and Robert Townsend, before it was cancelled in 1988. Hall was also chosen to host the show in 1987, and his time as a host led to his own show in syndication.

He had a Paramount job to host The Arsenio Hall Show, a nationally syndicated late-night talk show from January 2, 1989 to May 27, 1994. It was a smashing success, particularly among the coveted younger demographic and known for its audience's unique alternative to applause in chanting, "Woof, woof, woof!" (the Cleveland Browns' Dawg Pound in the east end zone) while pumping their fists. The ritual soon became so normal that by 1991, it had become a "pop culture stamp of approval" — one that Hall said had become "too common it's getting on people's nerves." It was so well known that it appeared in films including Pretty Woman, Passenger 57, Aladdin, and The Hard Way.

Since Jay Leno was named host of The Tonight Show, he had a rivalry with him, and in which Hall said he would "kick Jay's ass" in ratings.

After Magic Johnson contracted the virus, Hall used his fame during this period to help combat global anti-HIVism. Hall and Johnson produced a public service announcement about the disease that appeared in the early 1990s.

Hall hosted the MTV Video Music Awards from 1988 to 1991. He has appeared on many talk shows, as a voice actor on game shows and other award-winning programs over the years. Since the Arsenio Hall Show ended, Hall had played leading roles in television shows such as the short-lived sitcom Arsenio (1997) and Martial Law with Sammo Hung (1998–2004), and host Star Search (2003–2004). "Hit me with the digits!" when he was hosting Star Search.

In March 2004, Hall appeared in Chappelle's Show as himself (convinced by Swedish comedy director Saman Khadiri) while Chappelle was imagining "what Arsenio is doing right now" in a dinner scene. On Wednesday evenings on KLSX 97.1 FM radio, Hall has been co-hosted by a guest co-hosted on The Tim Conway Jr. show. He hosted MyNetworkTV's comedic web video series The World's Funniest Moments and TV One's 100 Greatest Black Power Moves is hosted by Frank O'Harvar. In a discussion commemorating the 1992 Los Angeles riots, he appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher in May 2012.

Hall appeared on the syndicated version of Deal or No Deal and filmed a pilot (there were six taped). However, howie Mandel was chosen host by the time the syndicated series premiered on September 8, 2008.

Hall appeared on The Jay Leno Show on many occasions and was a regular attender on Lopez Tonight. Arsenio is the reason he attended a late night performance, according to George Lopez; Lopez appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show more times than any other comedian. Since Hall was his inspiration and the first "late night party show host," Lopez requested that Hall co-host on Lopez Tonight (November 25, 2009). Hall has been asked to host NBC's Access Hollywood Live (2011) and CNN's evening talk/interview show Piers Morgan Tonight in 2012.

Hall appeared on the fifth edition of The Celebrity Apprenticeship in 2012, which premiered on February 19, 2012. Hall's charity, the Magic Johnson Foundation, is committed to advancing economic and social justice by including minorities in every aspect of their communities; increasing academic and technological achievement; and raising HIV/AIDS awareness, treatment, and prevention. Although Hall and Aubrey O'Day were adversaries, the majority of the cast members were embraced. He was named as the Celebrity Apprentice winner by billionaire real estate investor Donald Trump over another celebrity finalist, singer Clay Aiken, on May 20, 2012. Hall received the $250,000 grand prize for his charity, in comparison to the funds he and his staff undertook when he was a team leader.

The Arsenio Hall Show, a relaunch of Hall's syndicated late-night talk show, debuted on Tribune owned stations and other networks via CBS Television Distribution on September 9, 2013. Due to poor ratings, it was cancelled after a season. The last taping aired on May 30, 2014.
