'Arsenio Hall Show' Gets Cancelled by CBS Before Second Season 

CBS Television Distribution has made the decision not to renew the "Arsenio Hall Show" for a second season. They released a statement saying, "Unfortunately, the "Arsenio Hall Show" will not return for a second season; while there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue. Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we'd like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We'd also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show."

This comes as a surprise to many since CBS Television Distribution renewed the show for Season 2 in February after securing a two-year deal with the Tribune stations pre-launch. "The Arsenio Hall Show" faded in ratings after a strong launch and could never bounce back. 

"When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribune, we all knew it would be a challenge - I'm gratified for the year we've had and proud of the show we created," Arsenio shared after getting the news. "I'd like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible every night."

"While there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue," a CBSTD spokesperson said. "Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we'd like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We'd also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show."
