*Arsenio Hall will release “Arsenio: A Memoir” on April 7, 2026, through Black Privilege Publishing, an imprint of Simon & Schuster’s Atria Books.
According to PEOPLE, the book, which Hall will also narrate as an audiobook, offers a deep dive into his journey from a young performer to a cultural icon. “This bracingly candid memoir offers a new appreciation for this raw talent and gifted storyteller, who nightly, for six years, hosted what felt like a televised ‘party’ that changed the landscape of late-night television and brought Black culture into living rooms across America,” the book’s description notes.
The memoir highlights his work in films like “Coming to America” and “Harlem Nights,” alongside his iconic hosting on “The Arsenio Hall Show” from 1989 to 1994. The book captures pivotal moments, including “unforgettable, groundbreaking interviews” with figures like Bill Clinton, Madonna, and Tupac Shakur.
