In the wake of American Idols success, Arsenio Hall hosted a new version of Star Search, which ran for two years: 2003 and 2004. This new version was judged by several people, including Ben Stein and Naomi Judd. It introduced "star" Loni Love, who has appeared in TV shows for VH1, and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide for Nickelodeon. It also brought Tiffany Evans 15 minutes of fame, but her career has yet to truly take off.
