The Definitive Guide to Comedy
Michael Blackson bills himself as “The African King of Comedy.” You got a problem with that, Modasucka? Blackson performed stand-up on Friday’s episode of Arsenio, and let us know that Compton has a new visitor. Please do not call him a booty-scratcher or anything that refers to the darkness of …
If you want to know what’s really going on with Katt Williams, don’t try believing whatever the tabloid magazines or gossip sites mislead you into thinking, especially when you can go straight to the source. Thank goodness for Arsenio Hall. Having Arsenio back on late-night TV provides a place where …
When is the last time you remember seeing Jimmie Walker do stand-up comedy on the TV? If you remember Jimmie J.J. Walker, then Dy-N0-Mite! Good times. Good Times! Walker performed Tuesday on Arsenio, and noted that he’ll have to change his racial profile now that Latinos have become the dominant …
If there’s Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday, what does it mean when two comedians get old-school nostalgic on a Monday night? I don’t know, but that didn’t stop Ray Romano and Arsenio Hall from taking to the mics — standing side-by-side on Monday night’s episode of Arsenio — to trade …

Take that, Fantasia. Don’t take that, Precious. Earthquake ain’t afraid of a “little ugly.” This could …
Performing on Arsenio was a childhood dream come true for Gabriel Iglesias. Even if the Fluffy Guy is not a kid anymore. He’s a man who works on movies for adults (Magic Mike) and kids alike (Planes). Working for Disney is much different than working for Nickelodeon, though. I’ll let …
Who’s got jokes? Kelly Walker, who goes by K-Dubb, has jokes. He did when he was first on Who’s Got Jokes? years ago, and the young man with the old growl of a voice made his network late-night debut Thursday night on Arsenio, joking about an argument he got into …
Camille Solari told jokes for two on Wednesday’s episode of Arsenio. Which not only puts off hecklers, but makes everyone else nicer to her. It also explains her outfit. Sort of. I’ll let her try to explain the Taco Bell fixation. Roll the clip.
Arsenio had a fresh new backdrop for his late-night TV show set, and comedian Tony Rock brought out a freshly customized stand-up comedy set himself, seeing Russell Simmons sitting over there on the couch. It’s all about the real money, which Rock says Simmons has. What can Simmons do about …
Chris Porter has regrets. Well, at least one. An ex-girlfriend, whom he remembers in this stand-up performance on Tuesday night’s Arsenio. As well as the thought that’s not in your head about hippie vegan tigers getting all judge-y. Go on. Think about it. Picture it. Ready? Roll the clip!
