marknyc I was a huge fan of Kilborn when he hosted "The Daily Show" - his spot-on impersonation of a pompous anchor meshed perfectly with the dumb-as-a-doorknob "correspondents" on the show. In fact, I initially disliked his replacement, Jon Stewart, because he didn't play a character, as Craig had.But when Craig essentially brought that same character to The Late Late Show, I was skeptical. You can't be a snotty talk-show host - it just doesn't fit. Still, I watched because of Craig. But then I began noticing the that the show was shamefully pandering to TV's favorite audience: 18-34 year old males. It seemed like every joke, every guest, every bit, was designed to appeal to that group alone. Soon the humor got stale and I found myself forgetting to tune in. Eventually, I stopped watching altogether.At the same time, Jon Stewart elevated "The Daily Show" to a pinnacle of social and political satire and commentary, something unseen since "That Was The Week That Was." And Craig disappeared. It's too bad for him that he left the spot that he was perfectly suited for, but good for us, since Stewart has created an entirely new, and better, show.Good luck, Craig, wherever you are - next time I hope you'll drop the pandering in favor of pushing the envelope, as you did on "The Daily Show."

debtfull The Kilborn show was funny, topical, and had ironic class. I miss it a lot. Neither Ferguson or Conan are as good. Also, this was one of the few shows that captured a little bit of 80s nostalgia from someone of the "right" age. Mostly people who came of age in the 80s are skipped over, the media marketing went right from the baby boomers to generation Y and Z. Face it folks, gen x is in their 40s and we didn't even get a t-shirt.Maybe, it's misplaced, but I kind of felt like this was "our" show and that there will never be another. Look at all those great early 80s bands he brought back-- and he understood them. I hope we get a DVD collection of the Kilborn show with some of his Daily Show material thrown in, too.

coolchrisrm Kilborn is the man!!! First, he is witty, he knows how to set the guest up to make a good zinger. He understands the true art of comedic timing. Kilby allows up and coming struggling models come on his show, helping out starving artists whose canvas is their bodies. To be able to put together such a great show from television city is quite an impressive feat. Especially with distractions like Bob Barker, his beauties and soap stars galore! I don't know how anyone could accomplish anything in that atmosphere. Kilby relates to the kids. He teaches us all how to act social when an awkward moment arises through his Yambo teaching tool. Kilby is sure to be around for years to come. I say Bravo Craig, Bravo.

GoatmealCrisp Well, after 2 years on the air, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn seems to have a bright future. Craigers is the funniest talk show host currently. Dave holds at seconds due to his recent lack of funny host and repetitive monologues. Craig is controversial, sure, but he's the one that is bringing in the 18-35 crowd (Not to mention he comes on at 12:30 at night!. To hold crowds at that time is amazing!). My prediction is that when it comes time for Dave to step away (Not for at least another 5 or 6 years!) that Craig will be CBS's first choice to take over and dominate the Air Waves!
