Hall moved when he was just 20 to Los Angeles to pursue his career in comedy and he made few appearences on "Soul Train". In 1988 he got a big role in hit comedy film "Coming to America" with Eddie Murphy. After that he had few semi-successful comedy movies until he finally got his talk-show in 1989 which was an instant success.

At that time hip-hop culture started to be very popular, and Arsenio Hall often had guests like that on his show which attracted younger demographics to eventually watch his late night talk show. In 1994 Arsenio Hall talk show had to be cancelled because the ratings began to decrease, but Arsenio finally got back to his roots in 2013 with opening of a new talk show that had great ratings in first couple of weeks.
