Contrary to the newness associated with Arsenio Hall’s late-night talk show, he’s been here before. With that being said, it’s pretty clear that hosting a show (for the second time) requires a toughness seen by no other host. Back in either 1993 or 1994, while hosting his show, Hall was heckled by multiple protesters while performing his opening routine. Instead of shying away from the controversy, he walked up to them to hear them out right before he dismissed their claims. Check it out after the jump.

As every female who grew up in the 90’s knows that during this year’s 2013 MTV Music Video Awards, boy band sensation ‘N Sync reunited on stage during Justin Timberlake’s glorious 15 minute performance after he accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

FLASHBACK: Was Nickelodeon Show ‘Doug’ Racist?!?!?!
If you are over the age of 20, I’m pretty sure you should remember the hit Nickelodeon show ‘Doug.’ Remember, the main character Doug Funnie, his dog Pork Chop, BFF Skeeter, the neighborhood bully Rodger Klotz, Patty Mayonnaise, etc etc. Well, do you remember that ALMOST every character was a different color? Skeeter was blue, Patty was brown(ish), Rodger was green, and so on. But the weirdest thing about it? Doug (and his family) were white. Was there any possible hidden racism from this show being that they made the MAIN character a normal white boy and the rest multi-colored? Find out what Nickelodeon’s reasoning was for the color choices after the jump.
