Arsenio Hall's Finger-Tip Greeting - On THE ARSENIO HALL SHOW/FOX/1989-94 talk show host Arsenio Hall gave his bandleader Michael Wolff a finger-tip touch greeting at the beginning of each show. The reason? Shortly before Arsenio's dad died, he gave his son this fatherly advice: "I don't care what you do, just stay close to God. Whatever you do, strive to be number one at it." Then, he held up his forefinger and touched Arsenio's. After the monologue and his banter with his band (the Posse) and the audience, Arsenio began his show with his trademark catchphrase "Let's get busy!" See also "FANS & FANATICS"
