Tonight the Beverly Hills Bar Association honored Del, Shaw, Moonves  Tanaka, Finkelstein & Lezcano partner Nina Shaw with its 2013 Entertainment Lawyer of the Year award. Best moment of the evening? Arsenio Hall waving off stage Shaw partner and CBS Inc Chief Les Moonves’ brother with the wisecrack: “That was Jon Moonves, the good-looking Moonves.” Immediately Hall told the audience: ”That doesn’t leave this room. I’m not kidding. If you want to see me back on TV, that doesn’t leave this room!” (The Arsenio Hall Show marks his September 9th return to late night via CBS TV Distribution and Tribune.) The Shaw tribute dinner featured clips from Jamie Foxx, Laurence Fishburne, Nick Cannon, and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

Arsenio Hall Talk ShowUPDATED: Two decades after Arsenio Hall‘s successful turn as a late-night syndicated talk show host, he is at it again. The actor-comedian has signed a deal with CBS TV Distribution for a syndicated late-night talk strip for fall 2013. As expected, Tribune Broadcasting has come aboard to partner in the production of the show, which is set to launch on 17 Tribune stations — including in the three largest markets on WPIX-New York, at 11 PM; KTLA-Los Angeles, at 11 PM.; and WGN-Chicago, at 10 PM. The late-night show has already been sold in the top 10 markets and 17 of the top 20 markets, representing 52% of the country. While that doesn’t constitute an official green light, “there is a pretty good chance that we will be seeing the program in fall 2013,” said CTD president John Nogawski, who expects the show to get a first go for next fall by end of summer with the addition of more station clearances. This would be the first syndicated late-night talk show in about 15 years, since the short-lived The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show and Vibe, which launched in fall 1997.

The announcement comes on the heels of Hall’s return to the spotlight as the winner of the most recent season of Celebrity Apprentice. But Nogawski noted that, while Hall’s turn on the Donald Trump-hosted reality show “was a nice thing for the audience to remember him by,” it wasn’t a factor in CTD’s decision to do a late-night show with him. “I have a 20-year history with the guy,” said Nogawski, who oversaw Hall’s previous syndicated late-night talk show at CTD predecessor Paramount Domestic TV.
