LOS ANGELES (AP) — Craig Kilborn has decided to quit CBS' "Late Late Show" after five seasons, leaving the network to find a new host for the hour that follows "Late Show with David Letterman."

"It was easily the greatest job I've had, and CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me," Kilborn told Daily 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."

Not one to pass up a gag, Kilborn added: "And this is cool: I will continue to wear makeup in my everyday life."

Kilborn had drawn solid ratings for CBS since he took the time slot over from Tom Snyder. Since 1999, the audience had grown 34 percent to this season's average of 1.7 million viewers.

He likely will wrap up his tenure by within a month, according to a source close to the production, Variety reported Friday. The program is produced by Letterman's company, Worldwide Pants.

CBS, which learned of Kilborn's decision Thursday, had no comment on his replacement, a CBS spokesman said Friday.

There was immediate speculation that Conan O'Brien, whose contract with NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" has more than a year to run, might be a candidate — if he could eventually could end up with Letterman's job.

Industry speculation has it that Letterman is likely to exit late-night TV before Leno does.

Kilborn was the original host of Comedy Central's "Daily Show" and had a role in the 2003 film "Old School."


Good riddance to the most boring,unfunniest man in late night talk shows. hopfully someone better will replace him.

Yea he was teh suck if there ever was a teh suck.


MrS u bring up a good point, could/would CBS try and pull a power move and get Jon Stewart?? I doubt it, cause I'm pretty sure Jon is happy at Comedy Central, and I am pretty sure I saw he runs that entire show from writing to directing.

But it would be an interesting twist none the less

Yea good riddance is right. I have never thought he was funny. I tried to sit through his show one night and I don't believe I laughed a single time.

Thank god, I thought the day would never come when he'd leave....But with him leaving and Letterman getting ready to go, I wonder who they'll get. I doubt Stewart is going to want Kilborn's job again, yet I could see Connan taking Letterman's spot. Perhaps we may get a new face in latenight.

Good. He was so not funny it hurt! Carsons next. His interviews are so fucking boring and his audiences never laugh at any of his jokes. His skits are lame as shit too.

Yo, what is up with that show? The host always leaves abruptly. I've counted at least four different hosts since Letterman left. I agree, Conan O'Brian is the funniest.

It doesnt matter though, their show would be on the same time as Conan, so you wouldn't watch anyways.

1. Jimmy kimmel live i think its the best new late night show his monologs are great. He shows clips of what was on tv that night and makes fun of it he has a cruel sense of humor which i enjoy and he makes fun of Star Jones almost everynight cant go wrong with that.

2.Leno good monlog pretty funny jokes solid show all around.


3.Conan i guess i really dont like him much anymore he says the same shit everynight i been watching that show for many many years and now it just gets annoying ill give you a few example what he says everynight. Ok first one he will make joke the crowd wouldnt really laugh and he will say wow people are already leaving the studio there walking out.Second He will referee to himself as a jackass thats all good but afterawhile its gets old always saying hes a jackass we already know that.Then 3rd he will tell a joke and he wouldnt get much of a applause then he will make face then they will start cheering loud and he will say please please no pity applause.4th every night he says this in the very beginning hes like we got a great show tonight then he will say i know i say that everynight but i mean it this time something like that.Holyshit i cant beleive i typed that much for that lol lol just watch his show and you will see it gets really annoying and old.

Thats was so funny about him. At least when a Joke or a skit bombs hes honest about it. and than turns it around and makes fun of it himself which is hillarious. And its always funny when he puts himself down.

Norm is one of the funniest people alive, but for some reason his movies and tv shows BOMB. I would watch tho, as he is a funny ass dude.

I suggest those unfamiliar with him and Artie Lange should go rent an older movie called Dirty Work. HILARITY

Loved Dirty Work, but I think Screwed was probably his best flick.

Am I the only one who didn't think Craig sucked the donkey testicle? I still prefer Conan by far, but if he had good guests I'd always watch... christ.

And a side note, olympic_Hero, for the love of god change you're avatar/sig. Kane is the ugliest fucker on the planet, and we allow only beautiful people here.
