    I did 18mths in USA as a nanny ‘89-‘91 & LOVED Arsèneo Hall at midnight from my cool attic room. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it was about him, but he was magical, kind, relatable perfect. He will forever be part of my cherished teen memories in Boston. Thanks for your homage

      Wow, I have the polar opposite story. I’m American and was a college student during those years. Arsenio was the only thing I made a point of watching on television- at midnight, like you said. I went to France in early ‘92, for an internship, but also worked as an au pair & lived in an attic room. When I came back to the US in ‘95 Arsenio was gone & I never understood what happened to him. His show had been so immensely popular when I left…

    Arsenio Hall came at a time when Johnny Carson's schtick was getting too old and he couldn't connect with the widely growing younger generation that became the audience of Arsenio's show,as Arsenio's show ended too soon before the O.J. Simpson controversy as Arsenio was an anti-O.J. crusader who would have been an important voice that could have changed the outcome of O.J.'s murder trial(had his show still been on the air). And Arsenio returned too late at a time when other talk show hosts(such as Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel) were dominant as Arsenio was lucky that his return show lasted for one season(with several people saying that Arsenio lost his edginess in choosing attention grabbing guests). And after the end of his MTV talk show after one season,Jon Stewart moved onto other ventures including becoming a championing progressive liberal voice.

    Another reason for cancellation that I remember well was the parade of lackluster guests in those later seasons due to Arsenio's connection to Paramount Pictures. If the studio had a movie coming out in theaters, Arsenio would be interviewing some 3rd rate actor from the film that few ever heard of. In a way, the studio used his show as a late night infomercial for their movies.

      I saw that episode. I may need to watch it again, but he acted that way because Vanilla Ice had previously been very disrespectful to Hammer who took him out on tour. I only saw it once but that's what I remember. It's on UA-cam, so I'll check it out

    • @MISTERKIC
      @MISTERKIC 5 місяців тому

      @@waltersimmons946 @YoungoneYoung-lm4xe I was living in Brooklyn at the time. Farakahn had a "moderate" influence but VERY respected FROM a distance - within the Black Community. Intentions seemed good, but too contaversial even by NYC standards. Go figure 😁 The Million March was successful! I however opted to watch it all day on CNN. Not trying to be negative, but I was like...okay what happens after?
      Well, the vibe out here was DAF, for a few weeks. Brothers were all motivated to getting they ish together, and planning this and that for various communities. Then everyone just forgot and went back to normal life. No follow up plans, or concrete strategy in place made him kinda fade away like Arsineo.
      Back to Arsineo,...when I heard the news about a return to late night, almost got excited, but sht done changed up. Some of his ideas land format style, had already been incorporated by the current late night shows. Dog Pound 2.0? Corny. By the middle of the new show, I was like ..."Naaaaah. Once again, its a WRAP"! 😅 Overall his original TV run will always be CLASSIC and Groundbreaking. Props.

    Letterman was only serious a couple of times. The rest of the time he was homey the clown. The still-reining King, Johnny balked at asking hard questions or having controversial guests on. Sajak and Chevy Chase failed miserably as late night hosts. Mike Douglas was afternoon. Affable but made us listen to his horrible singing. He thought of himself as a singer, not talk show host. David Cavett is a fascinating study into standing on a stage. He believed he was a genius. He had the lowest budget mid week cardboard backed show with the greatest guests in history. Mohammed Ali, Henry Kissenger, John and Yoko, the brainiacs of the western world. Yet you had to listen to his asinine opening monolog while he laughed at his own stupid humor with the cheap set falling down around him. And it was literal torture to see that TV Guide says he's got the best guest ever back stage growing moss while he foists jokes on you that prove emphatically that he didn't have any writing staff. It was at simultaneously the cheapest way for a network to burn electrons while it was the ONLY show ever where the biggest icons in America came and spoke honestly and freely.
