“The Arsenio Hall Show” has stopped production, marking an abrupt end to the host’s efforts to restart his latenight franchise in syndication.

CBS had said that the show would return for a second season, but the latenight strip was facing significant downgrades from stations and the Eye determined that the show would not be financially viable. The show was in reruns this week and will not resume production. The show’s last original seg was May 21.

Comment by email:
Greetings to you two gentlemen. Fell in love with the first Arsenio Hall Show back in the early 90s and my elation was almost juvenile to DVR episodes of the Show's rebirth. Each time I watched I prayed that more folks were watching to support the Show's ratings. Arsenio still got the touch, the wit, that magic smile, and even more suave. Above all, it's like the brother hadn't aged one bit between the first pilot and the Show's rebirth. Crushed I am, yes, that the Show was cancelled; but judging by rating statistics, I'm more disappointed that the new Show didn't attract enough viewership. Adieu!  Fredo  [Fred Onovwerosuoke]
