Thank you.

Yes.

Anywhere.

There never has been an Arsenio.

We've done a national manhunt for an Arsenio.

I did something like that a few years ago, and there are like 18 of them now worldwide, and a lot of them were born around when the talk show was on.

But back in the day, you're in Cleveland, and you're at the basketball court in the ghetto of Cleveland, and people are picking up, and it's like, I got Leroy.

Let me have no neck.

Tyrone, you with us.

Arsenio.

They flew me to New York the first time I ever left Cleveland.

They flew me to New York to do a PBS show.

And and I did my vanishing candelabra, which was something I'd never done on television before.

It kind of hurt my feelings, though.
