Star Search Cast & Crew

Arsenio Hall hosts this one-hour variety/talent series inspired by the original "Star Search" television program that ran from 1983 to 1995. It broadcasts twice a week for four weeks, beginning with its premiere on Wednesday, Jan. 8 (8 p.m. ET) and on Thursdays (8 p.m. ET) beginning on Jan. 9. "Star Search" will have its finale on Thursday, Feb. 6 (8 p.m. ET).<#$>The series will feature live tournament-style competitions in four categories - adult singer, junior singer, comic and supermodel - culminating in the grand prize winning "star" in each category. A panel of both celebrity judges and at-home, interactive viewers will determine the winners. The original "Star Search" helped launch the careers of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Ray Romano, Dennis Miller, Rosie O'Donnell, Martin Lawrence and many other performers.
