In regards to its late night lineup , Fox had already decided to cancel '' The Late Show '' , and had a replacement series in development , '' The Wilton North Report '' , when the former series began a ratings resurgence under its final guest host , comedian Arsenio Hall . '' Wilton North '' lasted just a few weeks , however , and the network was unable to reach a deal with Hall to return as host when it hurriedly revived '' The Late Show '' in early 1988 . '' The Late Show '' went back to featuring guest hosts , eventually selecting Ross Shafer as its permanent host , only for it to be canceled for good by October 1988 , while Hall signed a deal with Paramount Television to develop his own syndicated late night talk show , '' The Arsenio Hall Show '' . Fox aired the 39th Primetime Emmy Awards and would air the next five editions
