The Arsenio Hall Show has been picked up for a second season, and the good news was delivered by Jay Leno, a man familiar with the world of late night shows, during the February 26th taping of the popular show. Hall’s talk show premiered in September and has been averaging 6.7 unique viewers each week. It’s also proving to be one of the youngest skewing late-night shows on air.

“We are thrilled that Arsenio will be returning for a second season,” said Joe DiSalvo, President of Sales at CBS Television Distribution. “We knew Arsenio had a built-in fan base, but he’s also reaching a new generation. This season, Arsenio has been the youngest late-night talk show on broadcast television and has given our station partners a real alternative for their late-night lineups.”

“Since 9/9/13, I’ve been waking up without an alarm clock,” joked Hall. “Producing and hosting my late-night talk show brings me great joy. I’m back where I belong! Thanks to my partners at CBS Television Distribution and Tribune.”

Guests this season have included LL Cool J, Eddie Murphy, Simon Cowell, Zooey Deschanel, Quincy Jones, Nick Cannon, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Dr. Phil, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Tyler Perry, Steve McQueen, Mike Tyson, Max Greenfield, Mark Harmon, Paula Patton, Bill Maher, Margaret Cho, George Lopez, Whoopi Goldberg, Leah Remini and Kevin Hart.
