The new Arsenio Hall Show has been on for a couple of days and the initial reviews have been mixed, but the ratings were STELLAR.

Hall’s new show debuted with higher ratings than David Letterman, Jay Leno, AND Jimmy Kimmel. It was a huge success for Hall, who last appeared on late-night television 20 years ago.

Reviews, however have been mixed. While many people have appreciated Arsenio’s ‘throwback’ approach to the show’s debut, others have found it uninspiring. Hollywood Reporter says, “For a guy who hasn’t been doing this in two decades, Arsenio didn’t even break a sweat. Is it possible that he has been doing this show for the last 20 years but it just wasn’t televised until last night?”

The New York Times stated the first show was “less like a reawakening and more like a wake.” Variety Magazine said, “The Arsenio Hall Show, inevitably and perhaps shrewdly, looks like a carbon copy of the syndicated show Hall left in 1994.”

Here’s some of the guests for the rest of the week…

Tonight; Magic Johnson, George Lopez and Nas appear on the show. Tomorrow, Earth, WInd, And Fire will appear in support of their new album, ‘Now, Then and Forever’. Friday, Angela Bassett is the slated guest.
