I never understood why the Arsenio Hall Show ended. It had great ratings. He was very likeable on it. Then it just went off the air for no reason I ever knew.
Arsenio walked away from it. That’s why.
The ratings did drop, and it was cancelled. Arsenio ‘walked away’ because there was no show.
What a great show. I was losing my mind with the preacher stuff. Reminded me of the glory days w/ Eddie Murphy, except I might actually be interested in a new Arsenio movie.
“This is accolades, not racism: I wish I could prolapse my own lips inside of my mouth and spit them out again so I had time to think instead of yelling about The Mountain all of the time.”
lol
That really happened.
That go to meeting preach bit was too hysterical.
Almost spat my coffee at the dashboard. Hilarious. No one is better than Adam in those kind of improvisations. Fastest gunman in the west.
After that, Adam’s got to get DAG & Arsenio on the same podcast. Good chemistry with both.
Adam absolutely needs to get Arsenio on a podcast. Either on his own, or maybe as a side kick to Alison. Very funny!
Agreed! Great chemistry!
Great idea. That would be a perfect addition to her show.
havent gotten there yet, but im excited to hear it.
that being said, it cannot POSSIBLY be more funny than DAG cursing it up during the Go Daddy live read on that show. I was dyinnnnn….
I’d say it may’ve actually been funnier.
The whole men are idiots, women are geniuses advertising thing is mainly due to the fact that women do about 75% of the shopping for the average American household. At least there’s some logic behind it beyond just being the “safe” move from a PC perspective, but it’s still really annoying.
Also, great pod today.
That’s an excellent point. I’ll leave the joking to Adam regarding whose* money is likely being spent, but to reinforce your point and defend against message board literalists objecting to the 75% figure … not only do women execute the actual purchase the majority of the time, but I’d bet dollars to nickels that women are decision makers or influencers.
I’d say that would account for 78% of purchases, well over 75% and nearly 32% points away from 110%.
Well it’s one thing to target the ladies and a whole other issue if you’re just bashing dudes. Car commercials and the like don’t insult women.
Epic ‘go to meeting’ live read!!
I think this year I’m gonna spend a couple of weeks relaxing in wine product country
the swallowing your lips and spitting out your smile had me laughing harder that I’ve laughed in a looooong time. This show is always funny but I’ve seen what he;s talking about and that the visual of someone spitting out their smile after swallowing their lips was just hilarious! Thank you AceMan!
I cannot emphasize this enough… MORE ARSENIO. In my opinion, he is up there with Cranston, Rowe, and DAG in regards to best guests.
Yep, yep yep!!
Wine product hahahaha!
HILARIOUS show with Arsenio. Loved the Broadview commercial bit, and the Tracy Morgan impression. Also, those were two of the best live reads in live read history.
Huggies diaper campaign that caused outrage does not really bother me. There was a Carls Jr ad a couple years ago that showed a dude in a butcher shop that did not know what to do. That dude should have been taken out back and shot, what dude can go buy a steak, really.
can a black man go 30 min. w/out making white & black comparisons like the white man can? by 2012 do they not realize it makes them appear nervous and/or paranoid?
“steven jobs” drives me nuts…totally takes me out of the stories ace tells
What’s the problem? Are you hypervigalent or something?
Hate to admit it but I’m right there with ya. ADAM, it’s just Steve Jobs, dammit! Quit adding that syllable!
Hold up a minute…
North Dakota you can buy your wine at the liquor store attached to the gas station.
Give Arsenio his own show on ace broadcasting please! He’s so funny.
Arsenio and Adam have a definite showbiz chemistry. They are fuckin hilarious together. Gotta make sure to keep him around the podcast from time to time.
More Arsenio.
Great show! Arsenio is a great guest. He needs a podcast on the ACE broadcasting network.
I hate how Trump runs the boardroom. Half the time he’s kissing ass to the celebrities, other half he’s asking stupid questions. Watching it, I’ve never seen any real questions come from Trump that show his knowledge in business. His sons and daughters have the most technical questions. Trump is just the name. I watched the show after Adam left and the comedy of the show is totally gone. Adam you are missed!
At first I thought that was Helio Castroneves in the right side picture with Adam. Then I realized Sonny Carolla is a little taller than I thought, though Adam still had to bend over to fit in the picture.
Helio kind of sounds like a Latin Deaf Frat Guy. Great pod today!
STEVE Jobs – not STEVEN Jobs….
Not a big deal but what would you be saying if Larry King kept calling Kimmel “JIM Kimmel” instead of “Jimmy Kimmel”
I thought Arsenio was in prison for tax evasion.
Wesley is a little more tan
Wesley Snipes?
Is that a picture of Arsenio from the long awaited Phil Lynott bio-pic?
Is it just me or does that pic of Adam and Arsenio look like the cover art for “White Men Can’t Jump (2012)”?
Am I the only person who hates Helio. The guy is a massive jerk playing up his nice guy routine. Doesn’t pay his taxes and gets awy with.(ask Mr. Snipes) Wrecks Paul Tracy in the Canadian Grand Prix when he had no chance to compete with Paul. Wrecks Takuma Sato in the Brazilian Grand Prix(not sure on race). Just wrecks anyone who is faster than him, then smilies on camera and get away with it.
Im guessing Trump sold Buick on sponsoring the show by telling them he’ll get mario andretti to run a 20 minute presentation on the car. Then he was embarrassed because Adam was the main guy. It doesnt matter how good a job you did, Trump was pissed and Adam and Mario were out. That’s what I think happened anyway. I can imagine Trump doing damage control with the Buick guys, oh sorry Mario isnt leading it, I told them too and they will be fired.
It’s Michael, not Mario
It was Mario when they were trying to get sponsors before the show started taping.
More Arsenio!
re: diaper commercial. i hate how ska music is now relegated to cute commercials. ugh
Judge Wapner is not dead.
Thimble Rigger!
Good pod
For the love of all that is sacred, why will no one – not Bald Bryan, not Allison, not anyone – correct Adam on “Steven Jobs’?
I was surprised about Apprentice last night. Clay shattered Penn. You could see it in his face. Clay is an impressive player, but I don’t know if that says more about Clay or Penn.
“Makin’ it drizzle with a handful of nickels.” Ha ha! Brilliant, Aceman! Cheap, but brilliant!!!
Love Arsenio as a guest! Where is his podcast?
Arsenio is a good dude and always interesting.
Arsenio still brings it. Funny son of a gun, and Adam and Arsenio are a good team. Anybody listening?
Arsenio is the fucking man! He is so smart and funny.
How bout a guest rotation of DAG, Arsenio, Penn, and Drew? I’d pay for that!
Arsenio was great. He should be back soon and often
Aresenio is the bomb. I’d take him over DAG any day!
Adam perhaps should rant/complain about the pictures of the creepers leaving comments. Seriously.
I’m with everyone about Arsenio and Adam. Two naturally funny dudes with good chemistry. The bits about church were hilarious. GOOD POD *SNIFF*
I’ve enjoyed all of the Celebrity Apprentice guests. Glad Aceman made some good friends and got some good stories. Debbie Gibson was a great guest too, as well as Clay and Penn.
Arsenio was great and yes he should have his own podcast…
Arsenio was amazing on the podcast!!! At least some good things came out of Celebrity Apprentice. Penn Jillette and now Arsenio. He should go on Penn’s Sunday School and do some “preachin at the church! Aah!!!”
I’d like to see Arsenio come back more often
I really hope Asenio is on the regular. It was great banter. And as a indycar fan, Helio is the shizznit. What a great show. You should have asked about climbing the fence. Just sayin.
Arsenio was great
Just want to echo the comments here, Arsenio was great, you guys we’re on fire so to speak. I was laughing uncontrollably on the way home from work today.
Great show. Great, great show.
Hilarious! This was a classic. More Arsenio.
I agree with what people have been saying. Arsenio was a great guest, him and Adam have great chemistry together, and they are both funny. I also enjoy Helio as a guest, and the fact that it was a 30 minute add on was nice.
Holy Shit! Adam and Arsenio did the best fucking live read EVER. I couldn’t stop laughing! I already use GoToMeeting, but damn I wanted to buy it again…
Arsenio was great. Please have him back on!!! Also up there with DAG and where is drew my other fave guest.
My previous comment failed moderation and that truly makes me sad.
Me, too. Still, it’s good to see there is life after(I hope).
…I personally wouldn’t mind knowing what tipped the scale. Not to hash it out, but just to stay out of the penalty box.
Adam, DAG and Arsenio would be awesome
Absolute gold! And the live reads – dare I say on par the DAG ones!?
Adam aren’t those stock or at least factory made rims? Has the RR dustcaps don’t know/haven’t seen many people Rich or super rich that buy or make custom rims and put the stock caps on them.
STEVE! It’s Steve Jobs. Not Steven Jobs. Good god Ace.
Arsenio was OK, pretty funny guy, good riffing with Adam. The preacher stuff got a little annoying. That schtick is a little f’d out. But overall pretty entertaining.
The second half with Helio whatever his name is…. SERIOUSLY? THIS IS THE GUY YOU CHOOSE TO DO A ONE-ON-ONE WITH?!!!? WTF!!! This guy was boring as fuck! I hate NASCAR, these drivers are complete dolts. Where’s the funny? Couldn’t you save this boring idiot for the Carcast? I never watched one second of dancing with the stars. Isn’t that show for fat women who work in cubicles? ZZZZzzzzz BORING!!!!
wow really?
Helio races Indy Car NOT bullshit NASCAR If you actually listened to ACE you’d know that he DOESNT like NASCAR either because those fucking retards cant seem to manage left and right turns unlike IRL racers. Now shut up and go nail your cock to a burning building.. you fuckin dolt
How about getting Arsenio to do a preacher spot on Penn’s Sunday School?
“Cirque du Soleil for whores”
Classic.
Helio sounds a lot like Deaf Frat Guy.
His show was effing hilarious
Great show!!! Arsenio was hilarious up there with DAG as one of your best Guest. Love ya guys can not wait for your new book to drop!!!
thanks a lot
Monica T one of your many black female fans
Helio was so extremely boring. Please never have him back on the show. He is almost as boring as Larry Miller. Thank you
Helio sounds just like DFG!!
Not sure why I do it, but I perused all the comments thinking I’d see a bunch of mixed reviews for Arsenio. It seems like whenever I think a guest is great there a bunch of listeners who think he sucked. So glad to see all the raves for Arsenio, right across the board. He really was excellent, and hilarious. We could use that guy back on tv, or in movies, or even a lowly podcast.
Indy is F1s gay little brother.
MMMMMM Good Podcast!
Did Adam actually say ‘I like to stereotype’ ?
Knowledge is power. Having a better sense of perspective is a relief.
Now if we could go back in time to 1977 and get Gene Simmons to say he was only in it for the money.
I WANT MY CHILDHOOD BACK!
Ace man! i was laughing my ass off when you were talking about people sucking their lips into their mouth and spitting them back out. There is a McDonalds commercial for a coffee or some shit where this black chick licks the whip cream from her lips! its exactly what your talking about and it has always bugged the shit out of me. You have to check it out.
I would much rather have you guys get Arsenio in place of any time you want DAG, you guys are far funnier together than when DAG is on.
Arsenio is probably the most likeable person on the planet.
Can’t get enough Arsenio!!!
When Alison laughs I laugh. great show!
As usual, Adam brings out the best in his guests, though I love Arsenio, all the same.
Arsenio seems like one of genuinely likeable guys I could hang out with. And I agree with the earlier comments, Arsenio needs to be grought back.
@Willsmith isn’t a fake Will Smith, it’s just not the actor. He’s a tech writer for Tested which just got bought by the Mythbusters.
Arsenio was fantastic and funny. Bring him back.
Arsenio wins DAG loses. bye DAG.
I knew Arsenio Hall was funny, but I had no idea he was ACE caliber guest material funny. When he did his one liner Tracy Morgan impresison, I coulda driven off the damn freeway and into a pylon, I was laughing so much!
Ace Man I wish you would have run for President. We are doooooooooomed!
Awesome show. Arsenio was great!
