Host of a 1990s Late-Night Talk Show That Was Briefly Revived 20 Years Later: NYT Crossword
If you were around in the early ‘90s—or just love late-night TV history—you will probably know Arsenio Hall. His show, The Arsenio Hall Show, was a damn huge hit from 1989 to 1994, bringing a fresh, high-energy vibe to late-night television. It was known for its diverse guests, hip-hop performances, and yes of course, the signature “Woof! Woof! Woof!” fist-pumping audience chant. The show made a comeback in 2013 but only lasted one season. Still, Arsenio remains an icon in the late-night world.
