Synopsis

Craig Kilborn hosted this zany talk show, which followed David Letterman's show, from 1999 until 2004. Kilborn left The Daily Show in 1999 to be this show's host after Tom Synder retired. The segment "5 Questions" was carried over from when he was on The Daily Show. Kilborn was frequently beaten in the ratings by his NBC timeslot rival, Conan O'Brien. Kilborn left The Late Late Show to pursue new opportunities.

chulo34 The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn should go down as one of the best late night shows. Craig Kilborn knew how to host a show and keep the conversations interesting. He was not going for the mainstream audience, and that was why he was so perfect. He had his audience pegged from the beginning and that made it so rewarding for them. People who regularly watched the show were treated with many ongoing jokes and segments. Some of the best were "A Moment for Us," "This Just In...," "And Now It's Time For...," and of course "Recreation of a Press Photo." He also had great segments with Gibby and Goldy. Many critics said he was arrogant and cocky. I understand why some may view him that way, but maybe they just never gave him a fair chance. When Craig hosted, his show was the only late night show that I ever watched on a regular basis. Regardless of the guests on a particular night, I knew that Kilby would make it a great show. I feel bad that his show couldn't last, and I only hope that we will see some sort of reincarnation in the future.
Mister Two A few months ago I forced myself to watch Kilborn because a friend of mine had sent in a short video that was going to be used as a bumper when the show went to commercial. Not only did the show renege on showing my friend's short, I didn't laugh once the whole time I was watching the show.It's been several years now since Kilborn jumped from "The Daily Show" to CBS to take over the timeslot that was once held by the venerable Tom Snyder. All in all, Kilborn should have stayed on cable. Now, the only thing keeping the network from cancelling this show is the fact that Kilborn draws about the same ratings as Snyder did, and CBS doesn't want to lose face by firing him. With the aging Letterman's tired irony shtick and "The Late Late Show"'s sorry writing which drags down Kilborn's otherwise incisive and entertaining on-screen personality, it should come as no surprise that NBC can claim the title of "America's Late Night Leader" with its virtuoso trio of Leno, Carson Daly, and especially Conan O'Brien, who, as Kilborn's competitor, will continue to succeed in his part of the network hot clock.People say the same pejorative things about Kilborn now as they said about Conan when he first started, but the difference here is that "Late Night" kept getting better, while the "Late Late Show" goes on stagnating. I wish Craig Kilborn all the best, but this show is need of a new producer and writers; otherwise, when Letterman finally checks out, CBS will be up a creek without the proverbial paddle to resuscitate their faltering late night schedule.
llihilloh I recently started watching Craig for whatever reason. I have been watching Conan for a long time and while he will always be my favorite of all the late night talk show hosts, Craig is just so addicting.First, Craig is *not* that funny. He can toss out some good jokes here and there, but the show is sort of bland. So, why do I continue to watch him? Well, he just has that quality. It's the one where I can't seem to put my finger on but I know it's there. Oh yeah, he's also really gorgeous. (Yes, this is a FEMALE speaking!) Secondly, Kilborn is so cocky that once in a while he actually persuades me to change the channel to his competition. He needs to settle down a little. Lastly, he's a poor interviewer and only seems to hold the show together during his monologue (In the News, those sometimes funny but not really jokes when he first walks out). I also like 5 questions.'The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn' is not a bad show, but it does fail to deliver entertainment some of the time. Kilborn is irresistible, but I'm going to have to resist and go back to the number one late night talk show host, Conan O'Brien. Craig's good, Conan's great, so I suppose I can flip between the channels during commercials.
mbenfeito Craig Kilborn is definitely the best talk show host there is to offer. I love watching Letterman, but Craiggers is the only reason I stay up late. He always delivers with In the News and I think this show is great. As long as he is the host of the Late Late Show I don't see any reason to watch Conan or Bill Mahr. Kilborn rules.
