The new Arsenio Hall Show
- Thread starter WMC2006
- Start date
Sadly, viewers hate change.
Of course she' no Burt Richardson...is he still alive? Its 2013 baby and time for a female announcer for late night. She sounds strong to me and Arsenio proves once again how he isn't some stuffy dude behind a desk - he is the real deal!
I watched Friday night's show (for about 15 minutes). Monologue had maybe a chuckle or two - worse than the Big 3 late night shows. But it's the first week, so what did I expect? He'll need to increase his potential, get the monologues funnier and book some great A-list guests to get competition with the other late night shows. A lot of people did watch Arsenio Hall back in the early 1990s and I hope he gets this revival back up to those 1990 levels.

He seems to be going after his gen X audience of 20 years ago judging the guests he books, Next week he'll be doing Dan Quayle jokes and Clinton will come back and play sax. He needs to get the Gen Y audience that was in bed when his was on 20 years ago if they were even born.

The "female announcer" that WMC doesn't like is Los Angeles DJ Diana Steele. She did mornings at KKBT "The Beat" from 1989 to 1998 and she co-hosted mornings at "Hot 92.3" KHHT from 2003 to 2007. She now does weekend and fill-in work at KSWD "The Sound." Yes, most of our radio stations have to make a word out of their call letters!
Now, LARR, I never said I didn't like her. I merely said she was very understated.
Here's some Burton Richardson introducing on the original Arsenio from 1990: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyB1xB8NnnQ

i like arsenio hall show i always wanted to watch his old show when i was a kid
That's funny because his new show is a lot like his old show. Especially the opening. It's like walking in a time machine.
"Arsenio 2.0"? One season, and gone.
In just the show's first month on the air, ratings dropped by more than 40%. Even the executive producer, Neal Kendall, abandoned ship. Things are not looking too good for the show.
After having watched most of the show's first three weeks, I could understand what the critics were talking about. Bad writing. "Jokes" that aren't even funny; many of them are racist. Interviews with past-their-prime, B-list celebrities.
From the get-go, I'd been predicting that the show would eventually fail. I guess I must be right. Way too much competition from Leno (retiring February, to be replaced by Fallon) and Letterman—both of them network shows with higher production budgets.
So why did I even start watching to begin with? Only because I'm very good friends (though never having met personally) with one of the members of Posse 2.0.
