Which American late-night program was hosted by Arsenio Hall from 1989 to 1994?

Arsenio Hall hosted The Arsenio Hall Show from 1989 to 1994.

The syndicated late-night program premiered on January 3, 1989, and quickly became known for its energetic audience, celebrity interviews, musical performances, and appeal to younger viewers. Hall’s audience often responded with the distinctive “Woof! Woof!” chant, which became one of the show’s signature features.

The program gave prominent exposure to guests and performers who were not always central to older network talk-show formats. Its guests included musicians, actors, athletes, and political figures. A famous example was Bill Clinton’s appearance as a presidential candidate, during which he played saxophone.

The original run ended in 1994. Hall later returned with a revived version in 2013, but that revival was separate from the influential 1989–1994 series. The title is straightforward, yet it is sometimes shortened informally in references, making the full program name the canonical answer.
