Kilborn steps down as "Late Late Show" host

Conan wins! Heh.
On a more serious note, Conan supposedly is pretty unhappy about NBC signing Leno through the end of the decade. While I doubt he'd swap with Letterman in a seemingly similar position, he might go to ABC or something like that for a primetime slot. I'd watch him. Conan is <3.

P.S. - Jon Stewart > Craig Kilborn

I hear that Conan might entertain the thought of going to CBS, as Letterman will more than likely retire when his contract expires, and would put him in a good position to take that over.

I have a feeling that Kilborn will come to regret his decision, as this will probably be the highlight of his career.

I usually watch Jaywalking, then when thats done, its off to Letterman.
Sad to see Kilborn go though. He interacts with his guests really well.

I was disappointed when I read that as well, Conan deserves to have a primetime spot on a network. Letterman and Leno are nothing compared to him.

I like Kilborn a lot. He's probably the first personality I remember from sportscenter. It's been nice seeing him on old school sportscenter lately. I wish him well.

Okay, while I am an independant voter, do I even need to remind you Midnyte of some of the dipshits Conservatives watch/listen to? I can compile a list if you want. ;)

I don't know. There's something hypnotic about Leno. That chin of his...it's like a pendulum...you can't help be mesmerized by it.

Thanks again to Midnyte for ruining a perfectly good opinion topic that wasn't about politics.[/u]

I have not watched the "Late Show" since Johnny left, even when there was someone on I wanted to see. I refued to watch Leno a looooonnnnngggg time ago and don't plan on starting now.

Was sad to see Johnny go but very excited about Letterman taking over... when NBC but JL in, that ended it for me. Perhaps if Letterman has retired and they replace Leno, I'll try watching it again.

Of course nothing will ever beat Johnny and Ed then watching Dave with the 10,000 lbs press squashing massive cans of fruit :)
