Television
Arno has appeared on numerous television shows in the United States and abroad. Between 1972 and 1975, he had several of his own one-hour specials on the TROS network in Holland. On Late Night with David Letterman (December 1983) he stole Letterman's tie and heirloom watch. He was on HBO's Just for Laughs in 1989, and several times on ABC's 20/20 (November 3, 2000, June 22, 2001, July 30, 2004). He appeared in two of ITV's (UK) London Weekend Television series: Beware: Pickpockets (June 2000), and Beware: Street Thieves (July 2001), and in the BBC's History of Magic (2004). He made the Travel Channel's endlessly repeated Travel Scams & Rip--offs Revealed-Las Vegas as well as Las Vegas Caught on Tape and appeared as "the fastest fingers" on Ripley's Believe it or Not. His 1996 appearance on World's Greatest Magic III revived interest in theatrical pickpocketing.
Arno's foreign television credits are many, including appearances in Germany, Sweden, South Africa, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Canada, Brazil, India and United Kingdom.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
