Arsenio Hall To Attempt Late-Night Comback
New York Times, Tuesday, June 19, 2012 3:15 PM
His new syndicated show begins in over a year. The comedian and partners that include CBS Television Distribution and stations owned by the Tribune Company announced on Monday that they had agreed to introduce a late-night show starring Hall in the fall of 2013. The move is something of a surprise because Hall has been off late-night television for almost 20 years and the field has never been more crowded, with shows having proliferated on network and cable stations. But the clear hope is that Hall can deliver lightning twice.
