Indie Wire is reporting that CBS Television Distribution will not be renewing ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ after all. As previously reported, the late night talk show survived its first season and was on board for a second with its larger-than-life host, Arsenio Hall. However, it appears that execs at CTD have had a change of heart and are pulling the plug.
“Unfortunately, The Arsenio Hall Show will not return for a second season; while there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue,” said CBS Television Distribution in a press statement today, adding that, “Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we’d like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We’d also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show.”
No word yet on when his last show will air.

Tyra Banks is coming back to television on ABC beginning in 2015. The ageless model, producer, and media mogul will host and executive produce another daily lifestyle talk show.
According to Indie Wire, the untitled program will provide “innovative, informative, and accessible content for her audience. From fashion and beauty, to home and entertaining, to empowerment and individual enterprise, the show will motivate viewers to improve and enhance their lives by providing guidance.”
“The fire to inspire women and help them to blaze new paths fiercely burns inside of me,” commented Tyra. “I’m excited to be partnering with Disney-ABC to usher in a new era of lifestyle, beauty and entertainment that will inspire women to be the CEO of their lives via honesty, humor and the newest tips and tricks without being intimidating or precious. To my fierce fam of future viewers: I can’t wait to shake up daytime TV together. I have a lot of information to give and still lots to learn. Let’s do it!”
