Hey, this could be the perfect father-son late-night television date.
While Hall, 57, certainly wants to pump his own television brand that provided a bit livelier studio audience in the yesteryears of television—producers call this new Sept. 9 debut a “party”—he understands the late-night landscape has vastly changed since his five-year run decades ago. He’s okay with that, telling audiences during his ongoing promotional tour that he’s certainly changed, even if his spiritedness remains.
Amidst slumping viewership, Hall stepped away from his first foray into late-night television in 1994, focusing on his family and his comedy since.
His gentle return to public life took a national step when he won Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice in 2012, setting the stage for more public appearances en route to the launch of the 2013 gig.
