Arsenio Hall‘s career has reached heights beyond what he ever could have imagined as a kid.
When the actor, comedian and host launched The Arsenio Hall Show in 1989, he created a platform to help pave the way for other Black entertainers by introducing them to the world.
“It was my lucky timing–meets–pop culture!” Hall, 67, exclusively tells PEOPLE. “Every artist in showbiz wasn’t a good fit for The Tonight Show audience in those days. I created a show for people who didn’t have a show. A place for [MC] Hammer, Prince, New Edition and New Kids on the Block. A place for comics from Chris Rock and Lea DeLaria to George Lopez!”
