Talk show host Arsenio Hall, a star of US TV in the 1990s, is returning with a new late-night show.
The 57-year-old actor and comedian is working with CBS Television Distribution on the format, which will air from autumn 2013.
The Emmy Award-winning Arsenio Hall Show ran from 1989 to ’94 and featured guests from Bill Clinton to Hall’s Coming to America co-star Eddie Murphy.
His TV comeback follows his recent win on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.
When Hall’s original show premiered, it was a surprise hit in the US late-night slot that had long been dominated by Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show.
His programme regularly featured up-and-coming rappers and stars such as director Spike Lee, comedian Bill Cosby and boxers Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.ts place in history was secured in 1992 when then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton played Heartbreak Hotel on the saxophone.
Hall’s acting credits include regular appearances on Martial Law in the late 1990s and a variety of roles alongside Eddie Murphy in 1988 comedy Coming to America.
