When the early 2010s go down in history, it will be well-documented for the retro feel it has. A lot of things many people felt were never coming back have and this includes high top fades, the Charlotte Hornets, and “The Arsenio Hall Show.” But, 2014 will be the last year of “The Arsenio Hall Show.”

Despite bringing the cool factor back to late night with interviews with Prince, LL Cool J, Charlamagne Tha God, Ray Romano, and many others, Arsenio Hall could not gain the masses. But, just as he was before, Arsenio Hall was embraced by the hip hop world. Because of this, there is disappointment over the cancellation.

The move to cancel “The Arsenio Hall Show” comes as a bit of a shocker. There was a lot that went on in order to bring the show back and it initially had solid ratings. In the wake of the show ending, Arsenio Hall said he is grateful for the season he had, but the series was initially promised a second season.
