CRAIG KILBORN MAKES RETURN TO TELEVISION: "THE KILBORN FILE" TO PREMIERE ON SELECT FOX TELEVISION STATIONS STARTING JUNE 28th

NEW YORK -- "The Kilborn File," a new half-hour program featuring comedian and talk show host Craig Kilborn, will debut this summer for a six-week run on the Fox Television Stations. The announcement was made by Greg Meidel, President, Twentieth Television and Frank Cicha, SVP of Programming, Fox Television Stations.

The program, which marks a return to television for Kilborn after a six-year hiatus, will feature the host's humorous and opinionated take on pop culture and current events. Celebrities and human interest guests will join him for signature segments, such as the rapid-fire "5 Questions" and a rotating "Power Panel" that will weigh-in on the day's big issues, as well as a cavalcade of all-new Kilborn-branded comedy that will debut throughout the series.

Meidel stated: "Delivering topical, sharp, witty humor is Craig Kilborn's specialty and we are thrilled that he will place his unique comedy stamp on the talk show format when he premieres this summer on select Fox Television Stations. We are very excited to bring a talent like Craig Kilborn back to television."

Premiering June 28, 2010, "The Kilborn File," will be presented on the Fox Television Stations in the following markets (all times local): New York (7 PM), Los Angeles (6:30 PM), Philadelphia (7 PM), Boston (7 PM), Phoenix (10:30 PM), Austin (10 PM) and Detroit (7:30 PM).

Cicha added: "We've been looking for the right opportunity to do a program like this for some time, so we didn't hesitate when Craig approached us with the idea for this show � a half hour, first run, day-and-date program that can run in multiple dayparts and is compatible with both news and comedy."

"The Kilborn File," produced by Twentieth Television, will be executive produced by Craig Kilborn and co-executive produced by Michael Dugan. Lon Rosen, of Lagardere Unlimited, negotiated the deal and will serve as a producer.

In regards to the announcement, Kilborn simply said: "Mom, I'm home."

Kilborn added: "The last few years of triathlons and charity work have been fulfilling, but fulfillment is overrated. Let's get it on."

"The Kilborn File" will film in Los Angeles in front of a live studio audience.

Michael Dugan, co-executive producer, added: "Whether you call him Mr. Positive, The King Of Normal, or His Royal Humbleness, Kilby is back and we're all excited. Seriously, let's get it on."

5 Questions is one of the best talk show segments ever. Good to see him back though.

The best thing Kilborn did was get replaced by Craig Ferguson.

The best thing Kilborn did was get replaced by Craig Ferguson.

And the years before that, getting replaced by Jon Stewart.

So by virtue, The Kilborn Files won't rise to popularity until it's taken over by Craig Robinson?

Seeing as how Robinson is funnier, yes.

I hate this show! I tuned in to watch the Simpson's and this show was on instead.
So I watched for a few moments and turned it off.

talk shows like this should be on at 1 in the morning, Not at 7! No one is going to watch this,.

damn you Fox for taking the Simpsons away!!


****

And hundreds of c-list comic actors are lining to be the guy who replaces him in five years and becomes a sensation.

 

[BlackLantern]

when Kilborn was on The Daily Show, it was 4 blue walls and the furniture out of Kilborns apartment...and he had guests like Meredith Baxter and Val Kilmer...and then he went to CBS and that was lukewarm...and then he decided to try Hollywood and spent the next 6 years trying to sell screenplays and bouncing around casting offices

nobody likes you Craig, take the hint

 

[Paroxysm]

He was great in Old School, I guess--as the *****e.

 

[chaseter]

Now he is great at the line of Golden Corral.
