Comedian Paul Scheer Reenacts Classic Arsenio Hall Moments

Tonight, The Arsenio Hall Show returns to late night TV. In case you missed it the first time around — or if you just want to go back and relive some fun memories from the show — there’s a treasure trove of old clips on YouTube. And while you're hunting around for those, chances are you may also stumble upon something called the The ArSheerio Paul Show. It’s a Web series created by Paul Scheer, the comedian and actor best known for the FXX comedy The League, MTV cult favorite Human Giant, and NTSF:SD:SUV on Adult Swim.

With The ArSheerio Paul Show, the concept is simple, yet pretty brilliant: Scheer, acting as Hall, reenacts of the show's most famous and bizarre interviews with celebrities like Vanilla Ice, Madonna, and Tupac Shakur -- all played by modern-day actors and comedians. The web series presents both an improvised version of these interviews and a word-for-word reenactment -- and the reconstructions are as hilarious as they are meticulously detailed.

Scheer joins Soundcheck to talk about why he chose The Arsenio Hall Show as the basis for his series, and how he plans to get Arsenio himself involved.
