- Film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert discuss the Oscars and other topics in this 1993 episode of The Arsenio Hall Show. They have just finished taping If We Picked the Winners and had an argument about the 1992 film and Oscar nominee The Crying Game. Arsenio offers them boxing gloves in case the debate gets too heated.
Notice how much they loved his performance but Gene continually called the actor Jaye "Richardson" without Ebert or Hall noticing.
The actor's name was Jaye Davison!
His career went nowhere after The Crying Game, but it was a performance that put him on the map for a couple years!
It didn't entirely go nowhere. Davidson did star in the original Stargate film as Ra. As I understand it, he was overwhelmed by and hated the fame being in the movies brought him and decided that he was better off out of the spotlight. He's been living a quiet life ever since, and has been all the more happier for it.
Gene could have shut his partner up quickly by reminding Roger that he himself spoiled the secret on their "Oscar Nomination Surprises" segment in February. It wasn't notable at the time because no one evidently thought it was a big deal.
Haha that is funny Arsenio is saying the boy from “Cop and a Half” will be on the show soon knowing Sisley and Ebert’s history of that movie.
Good discussion. Funny, Ebert thought the big Miramax story of 1994 would be a Merchant-Ivory production. LOL. He also just missed a chance there to predict the Weinstein debacle. It's funny how the line about international box office becoming more important has been being said since the '80s if not the '70s. It was always true, but it turned out the big international success of the decade would be both an action picture and a relationship picture, Titanic.
Gene was on fire that night. If only Burt Reynolds had been on the same episode--he and Roger would have ganged up on Gene in the bank in response to his review of Cop and a Half.

Good to see a Siskel and Ebert talk show vid that I’ve never seen, even if Arsenio Hall is a terrible host.
I still don’t get why Ebert was so fed up about Gene’s decision to reveal the twist when the academy themselves did so by nominating him in the first place.
arsenio was a great host. sounds like you're threatened by strong black men
Arsenio was a great host. Way better than Leno. I don’t know any other talk show host who interviewed Jim Henson, Tupac, Howard Stern, Siskel & Ebert, Mister Rodgers, and Jason Vorhees. He did this all in five years.
He is way better than Jimmy Fallon and Kimmel!
Arsenio is an incredible host. Do you know how hard it is to interview someone that easily and freely and deeply without notes? The way he positions potentially difficult questions as innocuous asides. Like how he redirects Roger's flip comment around the racism at Denny's by noting, almost just between them, "In seriousness, aren't you married to a Black woman?" He's a master.
The 90s were a wonderful decade
How could this man ever, ah, aheheh, um, so... how could he end up, just a footnote in TV history
Jaye Davidson
Gene lands a joke! Hahahaha
