"Arsenio Hall Show" Cancelled By CBS


 Despite efforts in renewing the  late night syndicated  show for a sophomore run in February, CBS Television Distribution has cancelled the show.

"While they are many loyal fans of the show,the series did not grow its audience enough to continue" CBSTVD said in a statement Friday. So the Arsenio Hall show will not be returning for a second season run. "Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we'll like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show.We also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show."

They Arsenio Hall Show was the only African American Late Night TV Show, it's really sad to see it was short lived.


Hall said:
"When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribune, well 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'll like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving  to make the best show possible every night."

CBSTVD announced a second season pick up in Febraury, citing that the series is the youngest-skewing late night talk show and that Hall was reaching a "new generation."

Now The arsenio Hall Show joins The Pete Holmes Show, a fellow late night talker in the cancelled heap.
