Didn’t they renew the show for a second season only to reverse that decision weeks later?

I really enjoyed this episode. I agree that the Arsenio show was awkward. When he came back for one season in like 2013 or something I used to watch it and it was super stilted. Really weird show. Most of the guests seemed uncomfortable
