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:
“The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labour in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
“Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
