Live on Arsenio

Aw, the Arsenio Hall show- those were the days. I still don't get the "whoo-whoo-whoo" thing, which led to a bunch of terrible jokes in movies. Passenger 57 comes to mind....

(As an aside, I despise "humor" that features older white people trying to act cool by playing up a racial stereotype- this usually involves someone trying to rap and starting out with some beatboxing, or someone saying "fo shizzle, my nizzle". Just awful awful stuff, and never funny. Please make it stop!)

Back on topic, Arsenio always had great live performances on his show as I recall. A lot of acts got a big break appearing on the show, and Arrested Development appeared when the show was at it's most popular. Here's a clip of them performing "Tennessee", courtesy of youtube:
