Legendary actor, comedian, and talk show host Arsenio Hall will host four shows as a part of Netflix’s ‘Joke Fest.’

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Hall will host ‘Arsenio! Live From Netflix is a Joke Fest’ for four nights at comedy mega-event ‘Netflix is a Joke Fest’ held at the Hollywood Roosevelt theater in Los Angeles.


The shows, set to take place May 2-5, will feature Hall interviewing celebrity guests as well as stand-up comedy and more. Each show will be available to watch on YouTube, with audio-only versions available on Netflix Is A Joke Radio (SXM Ch. 93).

As reported by Deadline, ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ initially ran in syndication between 1989 and 1994. It was produced by Hall’s own company and distributed by Paramount Domestic Television. The show returned for one more season between September 2013 and May 2014, produced by Hall’s company, Tribune Broadcasting.

“The bark is coming back,” Hall said in a video you can watch below. All my dogs out there can watch it from the comfort of your own pound. So get ready for live comedy, surprise guests and of course [barking]. I still got it.”
