I for one was a huge fan of him on the Late Late Show and miss him a ton. I loved his schtick of how he was just so into himself. His hair, his looks, his dancing. He was great.

Last I saw him was in the Benchwarmers as the rival's coach or something.
I am thankful I saw a taping of his show before he went off the air. He was extremely underrated. A lot of people forget that he used to be on ESPN and also was the first anchor of the Daily Show.

agreed, who can forget ascot friday and the build up to it? I also loved him singing the Willy Wonka song all dressed up like Willy. In college my roommate and I would always be torn about whether we should watch Conan or Craig. The decision usually came down to who had better guests that night.

Yea, I miss him too. I thought his show was funny as hell and it didn't hurt that he usually had at least one hot chick on there.

I tune into Craig Ferguson when I can. He's not to bad either. I saw where he interviewed Julia Louis-Dreyfus and I couldn't stop laughing.

I totally forgot about YAMBO Until I just found a video of it on youtube. That and 5 questions.
Growing up in Connecticut, I always loved this clip where he makes Carmen Electra dance to the Hartford Whalers victory song "Brass Bonanza"

I loved Kilborn on the daily show, and loved Jon Stewart's talk show. But when they switched lost interest in both of them.

I really miss his Late Late Show. The Chris Isaak theme song, the Play that Funky Music intro, him introducing himself, Bring Your Stuff guy, Ewok guy, the fake press conferences, the Robert Goulet references, his Georgy Girl impression. I thought his show was a lot funnier and fresher than the other three late night shows, which have all mostly become too safe and stale.

I used to love that show, especially on the nights when both he and Letterman had strong shows. I miss the "What up with that?" segments. Those killed me every time.

Re: Where the hell is Craig Kilborn?

He is back selling Kraft mac and cheese

Is it a part of natural aging or did he get some work done?

Re: Where the hell is Craig Kilborn?

Might just be the lighting(the box is almost glowing compared to the rest of the shot) or the still photo or a combination of both. He does look weird there.

Re: Where the hell is Craig Kilborn?

I enjoyed his talk show and wondered why he never really got another shot.

Always thought Kilborn came off as a douche and never really watched him.

He retired for all intents and purposes. Unless he's bored and needs a bit of extra cash - is the reason he's doing that commercial. Also, getting old sucks. He's 53 now.

Re: Where the hell is Craig Kilborn?

I've always loved Kilborn. He and Kenny Mayne are my all-time favorite Sportscenter anchor duo. I never really watched the Daily Show much, but in college I would constantly flip back and forth between the Late Late Show and Late Night.

I've heard that he can be tough to work with at times either because he is arrogant or perceived as being arrogant. I know he always wanted to be a comedian or an actor and all of his other gigs were just stepping stones in his mind, which is why he never stuck to anything for long. My guess is that if the acting thing had worked out better for him, we'd still see him around. Otherwise he's just content to do nothing.

And judging by that commercial (and other recent pictures I've seen), he's definitely had some sort of face/eye lift.
