Suggested Reading
Netflix continues to fill up their comedy bag and has set a premiere date for Hall’s upcoming standup comedy special, Smart & Classy. The special will debut on the popular streaming platform on Oct. 29.
According to Variety, “Hall will talk about drugs, his appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice and performing comedy in today’s political climate” during the special. The Celebrity Apprentice, huh? There will be Trump snark, right? Probably.
Much like Eddie Murphy, this year and next will be a comeback moment for Hall; he will be starring alongside Murphy in the much-anticipated Coming 2 America, in fact. And Hall memorably did try to revive his popular syndicated talk show, The Arsenio Hall Show (which originally aired from 1989-1996), attempting to rebirth it in the new millennium.
“I’ve prepared for every scenario,” Arsenio said as he geared up for his talk show’s comeback in 2013. “If I fail and I’m canceled on Tuesday, I will tell America it was a special.” Unfortunately, his show was canceled in its first season in 2014.
However, this comeback attempt may be different, as timing may be on Hall’s side. Netflix is providing a cornucopia of comedic content—they have a whole campaign strictly dedicated to comedy!
As Arsenio says, “there’s nothing more important than laughter.” Get your laugh on. Remember, Oct. 29 is the date!
