Will & Vince Say Bye To_KILBORN!!

Published at:  Aug 27, 2004 9:47:50 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!

Guests on tonight’s “Late Late Show,” the last to be hosted by Craig Kilborn, include Kilby’s “Old School” co-stars Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn, as well as Martin Mull, Adam West, Wayne Newton and Marlee Matlin.

Interestingly, Variety reports this morning that Vaughn “is being floated” as a possible Kilborn replacement. But floated by whom? Me? Say, he was on my original list:



* Albert Brooks

* Adam Corolla

* David Cross

* Nick DiPaulo

* Al Franken

* Janeane Garofalo

* Steve Martin

* Norm Macdonald

* Dave Mordal

* Bill Murray

* Patton Oswalt

* Sarah Silverman

* David Spade

* Howard Stern

* Triumph the Insult-Comic Dog

* Vince Vaughn

And for sidekicks, I’d look real hard at Craig Gass, Billy West, Gilbert Gottfried and Seth Rogan.

Talkbackers this week offered many suggestions (including a few comics with whom I am, frankly, not too awful familiar) but here’s who didn't make my list, but should have:



* Tina Fey (perfect!)

* Bonnie Hunt (I can’t believe I didn’t think of her; always talk-show gold)

* Amy Sedaris (almost as sharp as Hunt)

* Don Rickles (but really only as a sidekick, but he always always makes me laugh)




I’ll miss the endless parade of hot actresses and models who’d turn up in an effort to get into the Craigger’s trou.

But, say, speaking of Marlee Matlin, and as long as I’m making lists, here are the other hottest Jewish girls alive, all of whom should be hired to hang out on the Late Late Show set as co-hosts on a rotating basis (preface: yes, I'm aware that the mammothly talented Sarah Michelle Gellar is half-Jewish and no, she's not hot enough to make the list):

* Shiri Appleby

* Mili Avatil

* Selma Blair

* Gina Gershon

* Mia Kirshner

* Mila Kunis

* Natalie Portman

* Winona Ryder

* Sarah Silverman

* Marla Sokoloff

* Rachel Weisz

That was fun! Look for future Herc lists defining the world’s hottest Asian girls, black girls, blondes, redheads, Europeans and athletes!

After tonight, “The Late Late Show” will go dark for almost a month and return Sept. 20 with an unspecified rotating roster of guest hosts.

12:37 a.m. Friday (Early Saturday). CBS.

I warn you not to defy me!

I am – Hercules!!

    yep, I don't think a Tina Fey talk show would be worth watching. Maybe a Will Forte talk show cause he's the only thing funny on saturday night live.

  • Martin Mull and Fred Willard should be the host and sidekick to replace Killborn! The rebirth of Fernwood 2Night!! Tater's the Clown and all that!! Definitely the way to go!!! _____ While they're at it, they can release all the old shows on DVD since everything else is getting their day in the sun.

    It's going to be Tom Green

    by thebigcrazy

    First off your going to have to go silly against silly. Tom Green against Conan would be a good battle. Tom Green would bring streeter bits back to Late Night ones that are actually funny not ones where Leno finds the dumbest people and puts them on television. You can put Glen Humplink as sidekick again but since Tom has a national platform. For the love of god Tom show Americans the truth and show the original insult sock puppet a little air time: Ed The Sock. Ed the Sock by the way has been on the air since '89.

    90% of those people can't draw shit for an audience, and the ones that can - like Murray and Stern - wouldn't even consider it. Garafolo? Franken? Who the fuck r u kidding? Oswalt I understand because AICN has to keep this loser's career afloat... And why would the almighty Tina Fey leve her cush job or wrecking SNL while getting paid 7 figures for screenplays...fucking think for once...it's a show that doesn't air until after midnight. The audience is the size of a pea. Kilborn's leaving because it's loser's post that will never win because CBS ain't behind it.

    I'd love to see Sarah Silverman get the gig, but is that really feasible since her boyfriend is on the rival network and she's a big friend of the Conan O'Brien show? I'd like to see them dig into the Mr. Show stable and, if not Silverman, then Bob Odenkirk and Paul F. Thompkins. Vince Vaughn would be good, though.

    TWO WORDS: PETER NORTH

    by bushsux

    Because he would drown the competition. All kidding aside, Jon Stewart is not funny and the Daily Show was a million times better when Kilborn was hosting it in the late '90's. I still can't get over Jonny boy wetting his panties on the air after 9/11, be a man and grow the fuck up. I say this because he is CBS's first choice to take over the show. I think a Matt Stone and Trey Parker would be the ultimate choice and kicks the asses of all these crap lame comics that have been mentioned. Matt and Trey have shown that they are as funny in person as on their show and they could give Conan a serious run for his money.

Anyways, theres this really hot jewish girl that lives down the street from me, so how dare you make this list of the hottest jewish girls. There are people outside the entertainment world. And also SMG was pretty hot when she was younger. Am I the only one thats wants to see Woody Allen as a talk show host.

    She is hot, Herc and c'mon- she's freakin Buffy but I guess I'm fine with you excluding her because I can't stand her. She's an uber-bitch and think's her shit don't stink. And I agree with whoever said it first, The Late Late Show really does blow. The opening music alone puts me to sleep. I doubt the old farts at CBS would hire anyone controversial, so the end result would probably be someone they think is "hip and cool" like Cheri Oteri.

    by slone13

    Most of my "Jewish" friends wrongly declare themselves Jewish when asked what NATIONALITY they are. (There's a HUGE difference between one's nationality and their religion.) Also, these are the same people who haven't set foot in a temple since their bar/bas/bat mitzvahs. And they call themselves Jewish. Don't you kind of sort of almost need to at least SOMEWHAT practice your faith to be considered a member of it? Never in my life have I encountered a group of people so proud to be something so many of them know almost nothing about.

    But yah Conan blows him out of the water; for one he just seems nicer. I'll take Conan's self-deprecation over Kilborn's arrogance any day. Jon Stewart really turned The Daily Show around which was one of TV's best surprises. I don't know if the ratings reflect it but it certainly feels like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has been more of a success than the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn; I wonder if that's an embarrassment to Kilborn.

    Since when is Judaism a race? By your definition Christianity is a race, too then, right? Are atheists people with no race? Are the Irish a race? The Italians? What about the Fench? You know less than my 'jewish' friends, you stupid moron. There's russian jews, polish jews, german jews, etc. Judaism is neither a race nor a nationality. IT IS A RELIGION. Study some history and then when you're done with that, pick up some books on religion while you're at it. Idiot.

    I'd watch Sarah Silverman or Janeane Garofalo every night.
    There are a lot of folks on your list I'd watch now and then, the way I did with Kilby. But I swear if David freaking Spade or Jimmy Fallon gets the gig the show will cease to exist for me and I will never see it. And there are probably a few others who might make that list too. ----- On the other topic that popped up here, I have athiest and Christian friends who had Jewish parents. Me, I'm half white (but it's German so it's nothing to brag about) and half Scottish. Hoot, mon. -----
    And Selma Blair-Zappa is SO much hotter then Buffin the vampy slapper. Hey there's one for the list; give Moon Unit Zappa the show, with Margeret Cho as sidekick and Lisa Loeb as musical director. I would watch that.
