C/D: It's Arsenioooooooooooo Hall!

Classic for inspiring a C+C Music Factory single, and for having Bill Clinton on the show(wearing sunglasses) to sit in with the band and play saxamophone.

Also, for helping to expose midwestern suburban white kids to such cultural phenomena as the "dog pound" and "posse," as well as being a better way to waste an hour before Dave Letterman came on(other than end-period Johnny Carson or "Laugh-In" reruns).

Not so classic on the "woof woof woof" thing.

What say you of this titan of late 80s/early 90s late-night chat shows?

Also, I'm having vague memories of him having Prince on to do "Batdance"

Snoop freestyling with the band was great.

I was goign to start a thread today about either arsenio or one comparing the various cast members of "In Living Color", as well as Heavy D's importance to either show.

Arsenio won out.

He's the only one giving props to Milli Vanilli after the scandal! He mentioned the scandal but still told the audience how excellent "Blame It On The Rain" was.. he also was the only national variety show that would give Rob & Fab another chance at re-fame.
