KILBORN TO LEAVE LATE LATE SHOW
Just days after appearing on ESPN for the first time since 1996, Craig Kilborn will leave "The Late Late Show" on CBS within a month.
I've watched "The Late Late Show" and while some people detest Kilborn, I think he's solid. Best of luck to the guy in his post-Late Late Show life.
But wait, there's more...
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.
Can we please make this happen? If Conan left the Peacock Network for CBS, it would be a brilliant move on his part. Man, a Letterman-Conan 1-2 punch would be something.
In related news, does anybody watch Jay Leno? I don't know of one person who likes Leno over Letterman. Yet Leno has higher ratings. Unpossible.
If Conan were to take over for Letterman in a few years, there's no doubt in my mind he would beat Leno, hands down. There's no reason to debate this, so I won't.
