The plug has been pulled on Arsenio Hall‘s late-night talk show, for the second time.
CBS Television Distribution, which had renewed Arsenio Hall for a second season with much fanfare in February, changed its tune, and late Friday said the season that ended May 21 would be the only one for Hall, who had a five-year run with a more successful version of the show from 1989-94.
Though his revived show had a decent start early last September, it faded fast, averaging just 1 million viewers in a crowded late-night field, and several station owners made plans to move Hall to weaker time slots.
