'The Arsenio Hall Show' Canceled After One Season (@ArsenioHall)



Arsenio Hall's late night return has been cut short.


According to the Los Angeles Times, CBS has canceled the show just after announcing that the late night talk show would be picked up for a second season. Arsenio's first late night run lasted from 1989 to 1994 with memorable guests like Tupac Shakur and Bill Clinton. Low ratings were to blame for the show's second cancellation.


On Friday, Hall released a statement following the news.


"When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribute, we all knew it would be a challenge," he said. "I'm gratified for the year we've had and proud of the show we created. I'd like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible each night."


Hall featured many hip hop talents on his show, including Wale, Kanye West, Tyler The Creator and Kid Cudi.
