Chappelle, Murphy, and Pryor are one of a kind.


What about Arsenio Hall? Poor guy was doing phone commercials a while
back. There's a guy who comes on after Letterman who you can barely
understand a word that comes out of this mouth; the network even let
him host an award show that was really painful to watch. His ratings
are probably lower than the toilet. But Arsenio, who was born in the
USA and is otherwise known as articulate and funny too, can't have his
really funny articulate late night show back; what's that about? You
can't tell me Arsenio's ratings were lower than this guy's...
