Actor and comedian Arsenio Hall is known throughout America as one of the most brilliant TV talk show hosts. One of his programs lasted on television for five years, and was called by the name of the artist - "Talk Show Arsenio Hall." He also played several roles in films.
Biography
The future actor was born in 1956 in Cleveland. Since childhood, he was cheerful, funny and mischievous. He grew up in a family of a priest, and his father never had time to be with Arsenio - he was always busy with work, composing sermons and was very serious. He loved his son, but spent very little time with him.
After high school, Hall entered Ohio University. It was a great time - Arsenio recalls how he spoke in debates with the future actress Nancy Cartwright, how he talked with Leon Harris, who later became a famous TV presenter.
No matter what Arsenio did in his life, his dream of becoming a comedian never left him. He leaves for Los Angeles, a city where all dreams come true, and plans to start a career as a humorist-improviser there.
Film career
Instead, Arsenio begins acting in films. In Los Angeles, he met the famous Will Smith, who invited him to star in the movie "A Trip to America" (1988). It was a superb experience, an unforgettable time. The film entered the top of the best films of the year, has two Oscar nominations, and is still watched by people around the world.
Hall enjoyed working in films, and later starred in other films and series, but one of his best films is still called "A Trip to America", and the best series was "Chinese Policeman" and the voice acting in "Real Ghostbusters".
At the same time, Arsenio tried to work on television - he takes part in television projects to become better known. And then in 1984 he got into the talk show "Alan Thicke Thicke of the Night". The show brought him fame, fan love and the satisfaction that he finally does what he always wanted to do.
There is an episode in his biography when he literally saved a TV show that they already wanted to close: on the show "The Late Show" many hosts changed one by one until Arsenio came there in 1988. He made the show super popular. And along with this, he himself became super-popular.
A year later, he Hall opens his own show for the audience - "The Arsenio Hall Show". He brought there many features, nuances and pleasant little things that the audience liked so much. The show also became very popular and attracted huge audiences. The most memorable moment in the program was that once its guest was Bill Clinton, then the governor - he played the saxophone.
The show stayed on the air for five years, and then Hall left television for a personal reason.
Personal life
Arsenio's main tragedy was that he could not have children. But one day his girlfriend told him that she was pregnant, and then Hall gave up everything to raise his son. The fact is that his girlfriend left him as soon as Arsenio Cheron Hall Jr. was born in 1999.
Arsenio could not allow his son to grow up alone, and left his career. He sometimes took part in some television programs, but these were one-time projects. The main thing for himself, he considered the upbringing of his son and being close to him.
Only once did Arsenio Cheron himself persuade his father to participate in the Celebrity Apprentice show, and Hall experienced many pleasant minutes. After that, he began to appear more often on television in various projects.
