Do you remember ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’? Do you remember begging your parents to stay up at night just so you could watch the legendary comedian’s antics and the string of surprise guests who delivered show-stopping performances that made it difficult to sleep after each episode? Well, even if you don’t remember then get ready to take a trip to the early 1990s with Way Back Wednesday!
Arsenio Hall was a welcome addition to the late night talk show scene and introduced us to a range of talented acts who didn’t just appear on his show to promote a product. Instead, those artists were there to entertain.
Watch some of the most memorable performances from ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ below:
Babyface & Toni Braxton – ‘Give U My Heart’
Bill Clinton
Mariah Carey – ‘Emotions’
Patti LaBelle – Medley
Prince – ‘The Morning Papers’
Whitney Houston – ‘All The Man That I Need’
Hall had a spark that late night television needs today. In fact, there is absolutely no reason that he shouldn’t return and fill the void left by ‘Lopez Tonight’ because unlike several of the other shows that are currently on the air, Hall had a platform that artists actually wanted to visit.

Whitney slayed and bill clinton was the blues brothers! I miss Arsenio, he could come back minus the braids!
This is one of the best Way Backs! Toni was fierce, and of course everyone else! I remember staying up late to see Mariah. And Whitney…oh Whit! That was amazing! Why didn’t you put The Boys performances up. They put Bieber to shame!
I miss Arsenio. Love Prince! I see his ex (now Eric Benet wife) dancing in background. I miss artists like Prince the actually played instruments what has happen to our true musicians.
