‘Arsenio Hall’ Cleared In 95% Of Country

• Oh, just wonderful, a bunch of you people barking like savage dogs. Is this what the world needs? Screw you, Arsenio, with your “We so cool” show of inside jokes and makin’ fun of the man. Me, I’ll stick with Jay ’cause he knows the real deal of rock solid conservative values and he looks like a late night host should look like.

  Jay is the no. 2 best Tonight Show host with Carson no. 1 and Jack Parr a close no. 3 and I’ve seen all of them.

  • Hey “L,” You might want to stock up on canned beans for doomsday, go back to reading your NRA magazines, and catch up on episodes of “Hillbilly Handfishing.” What kind of veiled racist nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean that Leno “looks like a late night host should look like?” As opposed to Arsenio? The fact that you’ve “seen all of them” suggests that you, like your values, are a dinosaur. Now go back to shining your bowling trophy from 1972 and stop posting mentally bankrupt on this new-fangled internet-thingie.

  • Not quite sure if your posting is racist or the result of being a lot older.

    Either way, it’s kind of hysterical. (In a terribly sad way.)

    I’ll let you go. There’s probably a re-run of BONANZA airing soon.

• “Jay,cause he knows the real deal of rock solid conservative values and he looks like a late night host should look like”. First of all,it’s good he knows conservative “values” because he certainly doesn’t know how to be funny.His routine is old just like him. What exactly does “what a late night host should look like”mean exactly. I believe your bigotry could perhaps be showing. I also don’t like Arsenio too much,but,it has nothing to do with what he “looks like”. Oh,and by the way-Leno couldn’t even shine Johnny Carson’s shoes. Johnny was in a class/league all of his own. In Johnny we had quality.We don’t have that with this Leno guy.

• The big issue is ‘who cares’ that Arsenio is now virtually available nationally as evidenced by the number and content of these comments.

  There must be a Deadline reader who is jumping for joy…right?

• Seriously? If the host isn’t talking to you there’s no reason for their existence? Why don’t we just etch out MTV, BET and Discovery (clearly, L, you already know all you need to know). Oh, and since Modern Family isn’t like that sitcom from the woman who was in Thoroughly Modern Millie, let’s scratch that to. Oh, and I like the Lakers, so there shouldn’t be any Clippers telecasts.

• I really think that post was intended to be parody. Maybe not.

  Arsenio will be off the air within 2 years. I’d also like to see both Leno and Letterman retire. Kimmel, Conan, Chelsea, and Jimmy Fallon have the best shows and none of them seem to be sleazeballs like the old guards.

• Well, to me how about being happy for people. Yes, its hard to separate at times our personal likes and dislikes when we judge people but, Arsenio has endured alot, like him or not. We as humans dont decide to be black or white, pretty or ugly, tall or short, were born how we are. Arsenio has reached a group of people to his credit, you or her or him may feel his show may not last but 2 years and some feel he isnt worthy. I say if he is getting a show, thats were the proof should be. Hate is a thin line when compared to criticism. What Arsenio has done to make people not like him is beyond me. I hope the best for him because I also wold LOVE for people to do the same for me. Hate NEVER came from GOD, it has always been people doing one another wrong and harming one anothe. My point, if you want LOVE and understanding and support, dont expect it IF you dont give it. Congrats Arsenio and to those who dont like him and feel he’s unworthy or will fail, look in the mirror! Wish people the same good fortunes you want for you and your people you support. LGNM
