NEW YORK (AP) — Arsenio Hall is returning to TV’s late-night scene, where he flourished with a talk show two decades ago.

CBS Television Distribution says it is developing a syndicated nightly talk show with the 57-year-old actor and comedian. The company said Monday that the show is set to premiere in fall 2013.

Hall is best known for hosting the Emmy Award-winning ‘‘Arsenio Hall Show,’’ which ran from 1989 to 1994. That show’s place in pop-culture history was clinched in 1992 when then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton appeared and played ‘‘Heartbreak Hotel’’ on the saxophone.

Hall was featured in the 1988 Eddie Murphy comedy ‘‘Coming to America’’ and was a regular on the CBS series ‘‘Martial Law’’ in the late 1990s.

Recently, he won the latest edition of NBC’s ‘‘Celebrity Apprentice.’’
