Photo[edit]

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[reply]

What does this mean?[edit]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Who? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.103.183 (talk) 09:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re-organization/rewrite/delete needed[edit]

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.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.122.209.157 (talk) .

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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[reply]

Bias AND poor writing[edit]

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).[reply]

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

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

Movies[edit]

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

"Lewinksy me"[edit]

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)[reply]
