'Arsenio Hall Show' Canceled Despite Getting Renewed

Sad news for Arsenio Hall and the fans of his late night talk show – it will not be returning for a second season despite getting renewed earlier this year.

“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,” CBS Television Distribution said in a statement. “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.”

“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,” Arsenio said. “I’d like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible every night.”
