If you were around when his show was hot, you'll remember that EVERYBODY wanted to do his show. He had some crazy ass moments, and it's like nobody ever talks about it anymore. So I'm bringin it back!!!

ARSENIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*WOO WOO WOO :icon_lol:




What were some good ones?



This was awesome to see. Muhammad Ali interview, and out walks Mike Tyson and Sugar Ray Leonard. And you could see Tyson was in awe of Ali. Good stuff.

Loved him in "A Bug's Life"
 
didn't they bring his show back last year?

I really digged his sit down with snoop on snoops show

 
Young Michael Jordan. This is back before we knew what an egomaniac Jordan is, but you can kinda see it in this interview:

A very very obviously coked-out Van Damme, at the peak of his fame, riding the wave of his own stardom. I remember watching this when it aired. It makes it sad to know how hard he crashed a few years later when reality set in. But always love JCVD and I'm glad he's makin his comeback.

I still remember the episode when TLC debuted.

And when Jim Henson guest starred, not too long before he died.
 
Hahaha Arsenio gettin into it with Vanilla Ice. Seems obvious Arsenio hated that dude. Check out @ 6:08

Ice - you saw me and Flavor Flav are cool.
Arsenio - Is that why you brought him out? To show you have a black supporter?
Crowd boos
Ice - they don't like that, man.
Arsenio - I don't care I'll say what I want to say.

DAMN that got awkward! Arsenio was hammering Vanilla Ice. Good shit :D
 
My favorite was when Paula Abdul showed her vagina. They blurred it, but still great because she was wearing black stockings.

I would say his interview with The Ultimate Warrior, I try to mimic The Warrior's approach to interviews when looking for a new job.
 
The Sammy Davis Jr interview is great.
 
It was always great when he had wrestlers on cause this was back in the 80s and they would stay in character the whole time. Arsenio always seemed to be having fun and playing along with them while most talk show hosts can get kind of snarky with that kinda thing. I recall seeing an interview with Sam Kinison that was pretty funny just because of how crazy Sam was.
 
When the gay people started heckling him and he owned them

this right here.

I'm having trouble figuring out if it's a work or not, but seeing Arsenio rustled leads me to believe it's real.
 
It was a different type of late night show - that's for sure. he was the king of cool 1988-1993 but you knew that you would be looking back on it 20 yrs later shaking your head.

He both jumped the shark and peaked when he introduced the Paty Machine with Nia Peoples.
