LETTERS, Page 6ARSENIO
"Hall sends America off to bed with a smile on its face."
Barbara L. Beal
Woodland, Calif.
I was overjoyed to see TIME recognize the talented Arsenio Hall
(VIDEO, Nov. 13). He is taking my generation by the hand and
leading us along a path of hip-hoppin' comedy with his star-studded
guests and his smooth, innovative style. Arsenio's program reflects
the belief that the separation of the races is disappearing.

I object to your putting Hall on your cover. The man is
obnoxious and offensive. And of course that's why he gets ratings.
Is that anything to celebrate? I used to think you had class.

Late-night television viewing has sunk to a new low with The
Arsenio Hall Show. I was so stunned by the vulgar, sleazy
conversation the other night that I quickly turned to the Tonight
show. There was the refreshing Jay Leno doing his usual brand of
clever, intelligent comedy. I feel sorry for the post-Carson
generation if it thinks that Hall is entertainment.

Arsenio is a doll! He's smart, caring and honest. His openness
and integrity are as refreshing as his humor. We can respond to
more than his abilities as a performer; we see a whole person, not
just a facade.
