Talk:Craig Kilborn

Photo

Anyone got a photo of him taken in THIS century. Seriously that photo is so old he no longer looks like that 99.35.32.236 (talk) 10:04, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Maritha

What does this mean?

where he courted some controversy and was forced to apologize for something offensive he had said on-air.

Don't be coy. What was it? Was this an event that caused him to leave the show? Tempshill 00:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

If you really want to know, Google it. 24.4.221.251 07:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Isn't that the point of wikipedia, to have all such information easily accessible? An explanation should at least be linked. 72.11.42.77 14:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

He Made fun of Owen Hart's death. 170.69.248.21 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 14:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Re-organization/rewrite/delete needed

This article is not in very good shape. It's full of irrelevant, anecdotal information, and it's worthwhile facts are poorly organized. Wikipedia articles should not read like a collection of bulletpoints, and this one does. Hopefully somebody who knows a decent amount about Mr. Kilborn could clean it up - as in completely re-write it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.224.150.233 (talk) .

• Deleted bullet point about witty and dry dialog, as that's an opinion, not a fact, and was subject to constant vandalism.

This article seems to have some big POV issues. Starting the Late Late Show paragraph with him resigning seems to indicate he was only there a short time or the show tanked, when it actually was on for five years; that his "style seemed to invoke David Letterman without the humanity" is completely opinion; and his film career being that of "minor parts in minor films" seems to be saying he has failed. This article has important facts, but it needs a lot of rewording. --skew-t 00:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I deleted more of the unsourced commentary. From what I remember about Craig's departure, it was a surprise to the people at CBS, who had offered him an extension on his contract. There is more on Craig at the Late Late Show article. Justin 19:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Deleted the comment about him appearing on the Boston Pizza commercials as Carl Carlson. Carl is portrayed by Regan Burns, not Craig Killborn. Kutter2501 1:29, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Irony It Aint

I removed the word "ironically" from this:

former talk show host – and, ironically, occasional fill-in host for Snyder – Jon Stewart replaced Kilborn on the Daily Show.

Because it's not ironic. Why don't people understand what irony is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The reverend (talk • contribs) 21:37, 25 October 2006‎

I blame Alanis Morissette - Justin 21:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

That's not even close to irony! And don't blame her; people have been getting it wrong for centuries. At least she got it right once. Bredd13 19:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Irony is saying the o p p o s i t e of what is true. For example, Socrates claimed to be ignorant, when, in reality, he had knowledge. 98.110.87.71 (talk) 01:47, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Hans Wurst

Bias AND poor writing

This was just removed:

"Little known fact has only said 4 funny things in his life time"

If you're going to vandalize, couldn't you at least write it in a way where it wouldn't get noticed so easily? — Preceding unsigned comment added by K-lit (talk • contribs) 04:58, 25 November 2006‎

no that's not vandalism, it's the truth. and it's been scientifically proven. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.43.208.76 (talk) 15:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

Removed erroneous death date and comment towards the end of the article "But then he died." - Jon 05:22, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Mr. Stewart. --Matthew Bauer (talk) 04:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Movies

He also appeared in "Old School" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.215.128.114 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 10 August 2007‎

"Lewinksy me"

Nowhere on the internet has there ever been a reference to him saying this except on this page. The quotation as seen literally everywhere else, including the citation itself, is "if I wanted her to blow me".....someone (or possibly Kilby himself) is trying to cover his ass here as if a snide lewinsky reference somehow mitigates it happening — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.243.251 (talk) 15:37, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
