How did Soul Train survived without Don Cornelius?
When Don Cornelius ended his run as the host of Soul Train in 1993,he still was in charge of production and had creative control of the series,on other words HE RAN IT!!!
However,Cornelius was behind the scenes while still serving as producer and executive director of production. The person whom became the host of Soul Train and the man who succeeded Cornelius was Mystro Clarke,who became the host for the 1993-1994 season. Clarke,to some critics was one of the worst host ever to come along for Soul Train. Instead,Clarke lasted one season and was gone afterwards. Some people say that Cornelius fired Clarke or in one aspect terminated him over issues. Whatever happened to Mystro Clarke????
When Clarke became host of Soul Train,the ratings began to slipped,and it almost was taken off the air,but instead survived. After Clarke,the man who replaced him was Shemar Moore of "The Young and the Restless". Moore brought Soul Train back to the top of the ratings during his tenture.
