Spitting Image 'set for return'

Former chat-show host Arsenio Hall is to make a documentary film about America’s black stand-up circuit.

The feature-length project is tentatively titled The Other 23 Hours, and will look at comedians’ off-stage lives as well as their acts.

He said the film will focus on relatively unknown up-and-comers.

Hall told trade paper The Hollywood Reporter: "These guys make you laugh for an hour, but I want to also document the other 23 hours of their lives that I find to be compelling and entertaining and interesting."
