From the article: Kilborn has a son, Jonathan, who was born in 1987. It is not clear 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."

What? Am I the only one who has not the faintest idea what that means? -Chinju 01:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes.. He likes to sleep with black women in private and his son is half black. He mostly ignores him because he just wanted a fling and can't have a black child in his public life.

No, you are not. I'm deleting it because it is speculative and irrelevant. --Chad.netzer 11:39, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty of public figures have half-black or half-white or half-whatever children in public, and nobody really cares anymore. If that's Craig's attitude, he's a backward jerk, and it should be documented as such --MartinUK 14:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would explain why no one can find him...

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]

This article is not in very good shape. It's full of irrelevent, 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.

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 Lettermen 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]

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?

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]

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?

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]
