Craig Kilborn's "Kilborn File" begins on Monday; will you watch?

photoFox has put up a web site for Craig Kilborn's new show, "The Kilborn File," and named a couple of guests: Jeff Foxworthy and "Family Guy" auteur Seth MacFarlane, whose name (as of Friday afternoon) is misspelled "Seth McFarland" in a headline on the site. The home page features a couple of sample gags. The first one: "Joran Van Der Sloot has confessed to the murder of a female companion in Peru. He told police that he killed the girl because she touched his personal computer. For his sake I hope he's not as sensitive about his soap." Ha ha! A reference to a horrific murder and prison rape in a single joke? Kilby's back, baby!

Number two: "Shania Twain is not only looking great, but she's rumored to be dating her former best friend's ex-husband. Way to take lemons and make them into lemonade. Seriously, I hear Shania makes great lemonade."

I didn't find anything funnier in the rest of the clips, but I look forward to reading the reviews once the show has begun airing in the six markets where it will be receiving a test run. Incidentally, Craig will be paired with a female sidekick, Christine Lakin, according to the New York Daily News. As a young actress, Lakin appeared on the sitcom "Step by Step"; since then, she's had small roles in several movies and TV shows, though bad movie aficionados may remember her for playing "the nottie" in the critically derided Paris Hilton vehicle "The Hottie and the Nottie."

    Great idea...five years ago...just before his career completely died.

    Quick...someone change the name of the show to "Canceled."

    It won't be on in my region (as the other Craig would say).

    The show was genius. He did his own introduction, but no "Play that Funky Music" and no goofy voice when he said his name. It was like he never left. I think Christine Lakin is a waste though (she only had a 2 second bit which was not funny). Are you going to be adding his guest lineups to the website? The Power Panel is all scripted, but funny. Martin Mull was wearing glasses that made him look extra ancient. Annoying how the show is not HD, but during the Power Panel you only see half of each of the guests faces. Five Questions returns. Lots of love/hate on twitter.

    I guess it was OK. Seemed like everything was scripted.

    So far both episodes have been posted on this site: http://www.dedicatedtv.net/downloads/uncategorized-s784/the-kilborn-file-2010-06-28-jeff-foxworthy-ws-pdtv-xvid-2hd-d60465.html#

    Personally, not impressed so far. And the sidekick is annoying. Plus, the time-slot probably won't work. People LOVE the Simpsons.

    Anyway, please check out my web show: youtube.com/anytimtrevor
