On Wednesday night’s show, Jay snuck up on Aresnio, surprising the host on stage in front of his crowd, to announce the news.

“We are thrilled that ‘Arsenio’ will be returning for a second season,” Joe DiSalvo, President of Sales at CBS Television Distribution, said in a statement. “We knew Arsenio had a built-in fan base, but he’s also reaching a new generation. This season, ‘Arsenio’ has been the youngest late-night talk show on broadcast television and has given our station partners a real alternative for their late-night lineups.”
