A local legend is joining the late-night wars, at least for one evening.

Prince's appearance Wednesday night on "The Arsenio Hall Show" won't be limited to a musical performance. Promotional material insists that he's "taking over" the program, which makes you wonder if his well-received turn on "New Girl" has him convinced that he can handle a comedy monologue.

It's not the first time Prince has appeared on one of Hall's programs. He famously burned a Star Tribune review of one of his shows on the set of "Arsenio." Will he play pyromaniac again? Will he announce the release date of his long-anticipated new album?

Find out at 10 p.m. tonight on WUCW, Ch. 23.
