Pink Slip Problems: The Arsenio Hall Show Cancelled After Debut Season

Unfortunately, The Arsenio Hall Show will not return for a second season; while there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue. Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we’d like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We’d also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show.

Followed by the retiree’s announcement:

When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribune, we all knew it would be a challenge – I’m gratified for the year we’ve had and proud of the show we created. I’d like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible every night.

His comeback show marked the second try for Arsenio since his first late-night stint in ’89. Will you miss the Arsenio Hall Show?
