Craig Kilborn Signs Off
Late Late Show host Craig Kilborn gave notice Thursday after five successful seasons on the CBS talker.
The first name suggested to fill the empty chair by Industry watchers is Conan O'Brien, NBC's Late Night host whose deal with the Peacock expires in December 2005. While NBC hopes to keep O'Brien at its Rockefeller Plaza studio, the self-deprecating funnyguy has been open about his desire to switch to shift time slots

I hate Kilborn. I think Craig Kilborn really was not meant for late night. However, maybe Jon Stewart could take over for Kilborn and make the Late Late Show better like he did for the Daily Show.

i really don't like kilborn either. i just don't find him funny.
i like stewart at the daily show though. it would be nice if he had a larger audience on network tv, but i think i'd like him to stay at the daily show.
i say janeane garofalo should take kilborn's place.

I'm not sure about Janeane, but it could be Amy Sedaris from what I hear.

janeane would probably be my top pick, but amy sedaris is pretty damn good too.

...Kilborn has apparently decided to shift to a career behind the scenes.
"It was easily the greatest job I've ever had, and CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me," Kilborn told Variety. "But I simply want to try something new. I can now focus on writing and producing different television projects I haven't had time for.
