Is Arsenio Hall On The Comeback Trail?

Palm Beach Post, United States - Remember back in the day when Arsenio Hall had a talk show? And how he once proudly (stupidly) boasted that he was gonna whip Jay Leno's you-know-what in the ratings?

The boast made great headlines, but it actually never happened. While Leno went on to prosper as host of The Tonight Show, Arsenio, well, Arsenio hasn't done much. Sure, he hosted a revamped version of Star Search for CBS and had a cameo on Chappelle's Show in a hilarious skit in which Dave Chappelle imagined what Hall was doing. Something tells me Hall wasn't as interested or concerned about Chappelle.

Anyway, Hall, the guy who made the high-top fade really cool in the '90s (I know, I had one!) and he of the incredibly long fingers, is making a comeback of sorts. In November Hall will host The Blacklist: 100 Greatest Power Moves on TV One, that other black cable network which actually has better programming than BET but not enough people know that.
