Arsenio Hall Brings His Stand-Up Comedy to Thousand Oaks

Beloved comedian of Emmy Award-winning The Arsenio Hall Show and co-star of Coming to America Arsenio Hall will perform at the Scherr Forum Theatre Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 7:00 pm.

In 1987, Hall was asked to replace Joan Rivers on the Fox Network series The Late Show. On the strength of his work as interim host, he was signed to a film and television deal with Paramount Pictures, which subsequently led to the opportunity to co-write and co-star along with Eddie Murphy in the hit (Paramount) comedy Coming to America.

On January 3, 1989, The Arsenio Hall Show made its debut. Virtually overnight, Hall changed the face of late-night television by captivating the young viewers across the country. During his successful five-year run as Executive Producer, Hall provided a forum for cutting-edge comedy, politics and the television debut of such pop superstars as Mariah Carey, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Boyz II Men, and countless others.

After resigning from The Arsenio Hall Show in 1994, Hall went on to star in CBS's Martial Law, and as the host of Star Search. Arsenio was featured as a guest mentor on the OWN Network's Your OWN Show, as well as appearing as a guest host on the daily talk show Access Hollywood LIVE!, CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight and The View.

In 2012, Hall was crowned the Celebrity Apprentice for season five of Donald Trump's hit reality show on NBC, where he competed for his charity, The Magic Johnson Foundation. Most recently, he returned to late-night television as executive producer and host of the CBS Television Distribution/Tribune Broadcasting nationally syndicated The Arsenio Hall Show, which aired on stations around the country during the 2013-14 season.
