As previously reported by NewsOne, Hall partnered with CBS Television Distribution, previously named Paramount Domestic Television, for the new talk show. CBSTD is the same company behind Hall’s 1989-94 hit show, “The Arsenio Hall Show.”
In an interview with USA Today, the veteran actor and comedian said that he had to take time away to be with his family, but that he’s ready to re-enter the fray — with his son’s permission:
“I have no regrets. I’ve had an incredible time away. I was able to raise my son in a way that my parents were’t able to be in my life,” because they were so busy working, he says. “When I sat and talked to my son, I was like, ‘I love being a father. There’s nothing I love more than that. But as you need me a little less, I’m going to start addressing the fact that I miss late-night and I might want to try to go back.’ And he was all for it.”
Well, thank you for understanding, Arsenio, Jr. because we sure have missed your father!
