Craig Kilborn will say nighty-night to his job as host of "The Late Late Show" on CBS - after only five years in the seat.
Kilborn, who was the original host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," said it was "the greatest job" he's ever had.
"CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me but I simply want to try something new," he said in a statement. "I can now focus on writing and producing different television projects I haven't had time for. And this is cool - I will continue to wear makeup in my everyday life."
Word of his departure - revealed to his bosses Thursday - has kicked off a scramble by show producers at David Letterman's Worldwide Pants Inc. and CBS to find a replacement.

I won't miss Kilborn and his liberal rants at all. I thought something was up with his demeanor when he did the ESPN guest anchor SportsCenter slot last Sunday.
Like Olberman...he is nothing but a 2-bit Liberal Sports Hack....he will be replaced with something just as piss poor I am sure.
Nobody will ever make that show as cool as Tom Snyder. They should give it a whole different name.
kilborn is a
Hedonistic
Spoiled
Foul-minded
Example
of a
Perpetual Adolescent
And those are his good qualities.
He was good a few years back while on the daily show. I liked him there but on CBS he got stale real fast. Amy Sedaris would be incedible. Strangers With Candy is the problably one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Too bad they cancelled that too.
Tom was a liberal.
I don't know where you folks get the idea Craig is a lefty. He probably is, but I never heard him make political comments.
And he had Ben Stein on the other day, plus he has had Patricia Heaton on several times...he has Repub guests and they seem to like him.
I guess someone had Craig in the crosshairs like he had Bush in the crosshairs!!
Keith Uberpunk will get his comeuppance someday.
Should I try watching it once before it goes away?
Wasn't he the one who had the Snipers Wanted sign?
The only thing good about that show was the large number of hot babes showing up on it.
Tom was a liberal, but he was a great conversationalist and all around nice guy. He was funny and his interviews were interesting and informative and didn't revolve around asking the same 10 boring canned questions every celebrity interviewer asks.
I don't care what Craig's allegiance is, he's boring and rude and doesn't give good interview.
Yikes. I don't know.
I don't watch every night anyway, so I won't really miss him.
I just said he did have Repub guests. He liked having Ben Stein on.
If he had the snipers thing though..yikes.
A couple years too long if you ask me. He was the host who had a picture of George W. Bush on the screen with a caption "Snipers wanted".
Maybe we need to put on a campaign for them to hire Ben Stein as the replacement. He's a very good dude, in addition to being a good conservative.
Please don't let it be Gillian..she is SO annoying. But, on second thought, I've never ever watched the show and probably never will..So WHO CARES?????
not sure who to contact about that, but it is something to consider.
Gillian who?
