 The Arsenio Hall Show
The format of The Arsenio Hall Show followed traditional structures set by other late-night talk shows-- entrance and rapport with the band and the studio audience, the host's initial monologue at the center of the stage, interviews with guests (usually two to three) in the sitting area, and a musical number by an invited artist.
