Craig Kilborn

Craig Kilborn (born August 24, 1962 in Hastings, Minnesota) is a comedian and former talk show host.

Also sometimes known as Craiggers, Kilby or simply Kilborn.

Kilborn played college basketball for Montana State University. He was the play-by-play commentator for the Savannah Spirits of the Continental Basketball Association, starting in 1986, a job which lasted for two seasons until the team left for Tulsa, Oklahoma. From 1993 to 1996, he was a host of ESPN's SportsCenter.

From 1996 to 1998, Kilborn was host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central. When Tom Snyder retired from the Late Late Show, David Letterman's production company (World Wide Pants) wanted to have Kilborn to replace him. Kilborn's last Daily Show episode was on December 17, 1998.

The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn aired nightly on CBS immediately following The Late Show with David Letterman. He left the show in August of 2004 to dabble in movies. Craig Ferguson replaced Kilborn in early 2005.

Kilborn made his motion picture acting debut with a small role in Old School (2003). He has three movies coming out in 2006.

Kilborn has a son, Jonathan, who was born in 1987. It is not sure how close the two are, but Kilborn has mentioned in several interviews that Jonathan knows the "hands they've been dealt" and are "dealing with it the best way they can."

On August 8, 2004, Kilborn made a one-night return to SportsCenter Old School as part of ESPN's 25th anniversary celebration ESPN25. That night, he co-hosted with Dan Patrick.
