Arsenio Hall

He returns to America to find his heir.

That barbershop looks awfully familiar.

Hip-hop has had a long history supporting the Democratic Party.

Hip-hop has made some memorable late-night performances over the years.

In the early '90s Arsenio Hall shocked the entertainment world. During a time when late night shows were targeted to just one set of audience Arsenio Hall who was a comedian and best friend of comedian legend Eddie Murphy turned the late night world upside down.

As Jimmy Fallon makes some noise in late-night programming wtih the 'Tonight Show,' Arsenio Hall is still keeping steady, hosting the revival of his talk show. One of his latest guests is hip-hop legend LL Cool J, who took a comedic jab at Kanye West during his appearance on 'The Arsenio Hall Show' Monday night (Feb. 24).

Just in time for the holidays, Ashanti gets into the festive spirit with a performance of 'Let It Snow' live on 'The Arsenio Hall Show.'

Rappers are all about being comfortable everywhere they go. But of course, that means different things to different people. When Childish Gambino, a.k.a Donald Glover, stepped onto the 'Arsenio' set last night (Nov. 12), he looked like he just came back from the beach with his light colored shorts, worn out white T-shirt and top-siders.

It wouldn't be all that surprising if 'Electric Lady' was the next single to drop from Janelle Monae's sophomore album. The singer has performed the jam in her appearance on 'Saturday Night Live,' last weekend for 'Black Girls Rock' and last night (Nov. 5) on 'Arsenio.'

Well, a bet is a bet. Last week, Arsenio Hall made a wager with Nelly on his late night show. If the Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals (Nelly's hometown team) in the NCLS, Nelly would have to return to the show to perform 'Country Grammar.' If the Cardinals win, Hall would have to perform the same song while wearing a Cardinals jersey.

While people were marinating on just what happened at last night's BET Awards, Nelly and Future's performance on 'Arsenio' aired aired as well. The two performed 'Give U Dat,' a rap ballad that's similar to what we heard in 2002's 'Dilemma.' Perhaps the more interesting part about his appearance on the show was the bet he made with Arsenio Hall before his performance.

Big Sean brought the heat to 'The Arsenio Hall Show' Thursday night (Sept. 19) as he performed 'Fire' and came back for an encore performance of 'Beware.'
