The Arsenio Hall Show, a syndicated late-night talk show
starring African American stand-up comedian Arsenio Hall, ran from
January 1989 to May 1994. From the outset,
The Arsenio Hall Show distinguished itself by targeting
audiences that have been largely ignored by other late-night talk
shows: African Americans, and Latinos, as well as the younger
generation of television viewers which he identified on several
occasions as the "MTV generation." In terms of entertainment, some
of the
Arsenio Hall Show's highlights included a whole night
dedicated exclusively to musical performances by the reclusive
artist Prince, a surprise visit in 1992 by (then) presidential
candidate Bill Clinton (who performed two songs on the saxophone),
and the taping of his thousandth show at the Hollywood Bowl and
starring Madonna. This "Best of ARSENIO HALL" collection features
