What other talk show host could say he's had both Eazy E and Ravishing Rick Rude as guests??? Aresenio also holds the lifetime record for the greatest number of ums, uhs and ohs used during an interview.

"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"
It’s high time we consider giving the man who rewrote the late-night script another chance.
Only if he's still got the same haircut!

I love the "In Living Color" parody of Arsenio Hall:
Arsenio: Now, I haven't read it, but, my people tell me you wrote a book.
Marion Berry: No, No, Arsenio, I didn't write a book, I was booked.

I was just watching Coming to the America Monday and wondering what ever happened to Arsenio. Randy Watson performing with Sexual Chocolate may be the best scene in movie history.
His best work, for me, was in the "What's Going Down" episode of That's My Momma. His portrayal of "Joe the Police Man" was understated genius.

Nice - logged a bunch of interview/performance links in the comments at the bottom of the piece. Ultimate Warrior is by far my favorite.
