| | Arsenio Tries for Dramatic Comeback - Sep 19, 1997 - E! Online News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | That's apparently the new motto of actor/comic/talk-show host Arsenio Hall, who agreed Thursday to star in a new drama pilot for CBS' fall '98 schedule, according to Industry trade reports. |
 | | Though details of the new show were sketchy--and calls to CBS, Hall and 20th Century Fox Television, the show's producer, were not returned--it is said to be a "buddy drama" in the spirit of Midnight Run, the Robert De Niro-Charles Grodin film that masterfully paired comedy and drama. |
 | | While the show is only just emerging, pilot scripts are usually complete by January, with episodes taped shortly thereafter and fall schedules announced in the spring. |
