Arsenio Hall seems to figure that a 17-year rest is long enough. Having quit his iconic late-night talk show in 1994, Hall was asked this afternoon during a PBS panel at TCA on an Ed Sullivan Comedy Special premiering Aug. 6 if he'd consider making a comeback. "I'd have to change my name to Nick Cannon and live with Mariah (Carey)," he joked. "But I think it's a perfect time for that personally. Give me a microphone. My son's 11 and he can drive himself to school. I'm ready to host!" When a critic pressed if he was serious, Hall acknowledged, "It's pretty crowded out there. I'm not sure if it's too crowded for a 55-year-old guy to reemerge, but if they give me a little daylight I'm gonna slide into it."

I've seen old Arsinio clips on YouTube, and like Kilby I don't know why Arsenio quit his job. He was funny, cultured, and so original and unlike any Late Night Talkshow that was on at that time. I just don't have a clue on which network he would go to just to have a show again.

I'd assume BET or TV One. If Lopez had been cancelled, I would have said TBS following Conan...

I bet if he comes back, it would not be the same so he better stick to his retirement

TBS is probably developing a new-talk show for Tyler Perry lol

"Even though my day sucks i will feel a lot better at 11:30 when i watch arsenio"

Ratings actually tumbled after some controversey, which you can read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arsenio_Hall_Show#Eventual_downfall
