Craig Kilborn Speaks in a Talk Show News Exclusive: He's Retired
After asking "Whatever happened to Craig Kilborn?" in a post that's become the #1 most viewed on this blog, I finally succeeded in tracking down Kilby's representatives so I could ask them for a statement on what the former "Late Late Show" and "Daily Show" host is up to these days. Here's the news, and it's not looking good for fans hoping for a comeback.
When Craig Kilborn gracefully exited late night he referred to it as "early retirement" and he wasn't bluffing. Mr. Kilborn spends his days restoring his 1927 Spanish home in the hills, listening to Miles Davis, and drinking moderately priced red wine. "Is $70 a bottle expensive?" asked Craig. "I've kinda lost touch."

Are we sure this is a new quote? I seem to remember him saying something similar a few years back.
Whether it's 100% new I don't know for sure, but I didn't get any hits when I Googled a couple of the phrases, so I'm pretty sure this is the only place it exists on the Internet...
great job talk show news! hilarious quote from kilby. i bet for the right situation he'll 'unretire'.
I would love to see Craig Kilborn back on tv. Please come back Craig!!!
Craig was never a talent of any kind. A lame comedian, an uninterested interviewer, an uniformed sports talker.
wrong on all accounts mr. miserable, kilby is naturally hilarious, was the best interviewer in late night, and knows more about the nba than anybody.
come back dear craiggers!!!

This is where the quote is from
Well, then I guess it's a non-exclusive. I wish his publicists could have come up with a fresh quote, but maybe Kilborn is retired from speaking to the media!
Anybody know that is Kilborn still doing speaking engagement?
No.5 doesn't know anything, Sportscenter; The Daily Show was on point and needed him there and his position at his former late show showed a happy and healthy individual who had a rapport with all the happening guests
Miles Davis and Wine? A decade ago it was Jobim and cigars.
"Is $70 a bottle expensive?"
Oh give me a break! Not only his he a douchebag, he's also a cliche.
it can't be a cliche if only kilby says it. take your anger away from this positive website. and why do you know what he said a decade ago? are you a tortured fan?
kilby rules!! superior taste!!
