The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn

How "high" were the ratings? IIRC, he lost pretty much all the time to Conan O'Brien. Mike H 19:23, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC) Both Kilborn and his predecessor Tom Snyder generally lost to Conan. I think this article should be moved/renamed, since the title of the show is currently just ''The Late Late Show'' and will probably include the name of the new host once the network picks one. The Late Late Show currently points to an article on the Irish talk show of that name - maybe the new article could be The Late Late Show (CBS)? Beinsane 02:48, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Late Late Show (CBS)

''Another program called ''The Late Late Show'' is Ireland's longest-running TV chat show.'' ---- , current host of the Late Late Show on CBS]] ''The Late Late Show'' is an American late-night television talk and variety show on CBS. It immediately follows ''The Late Show with David Letterman'' and is produced by Letterman's Worldwide Pants Incorporated. The program dates to 1995, and has had three permanent hosts: Tom Snyder, Craig Kilborn (1999), and Craig Ferguson (2005). Tom Snyder hosted the program until 1999 in an intimate interview format somewhat similar to the ''Charlie Rose'' show. The show was reorganized into a format closer to ''Letterman'' and other major late-night programs when Craig Kilborn took over in March 1999. Kilborn left ''The Daily Show'' to become the new host. Kilborn left the program on August 27, 2004, following negotiations which ended unexpectedly after he opted not to renew his contract. Subsequent new shows featured guest hosts, culminating in week-long showcases for four finalists: Craig Ferguson, D. L. Hughley, Damien Fahey (an MTV VJ), and Michael Ian Black. It was announced on December 7, 2004 that Ferguson, a Scottish comedian best known from his role on ''The Drew Carey Show'', was to become Kilborn's permanent replacement. A ''Chicago Sun-Times'' television critic reported that Letterman made the decision. Ferguson's first show aired January 3, 2005.

The Late Late Show

''For the American late-night talk show presented by Tom Snyder, Craig Kilborn and Craig Ferguson, see The Late Late Show (CBS).'' ---- ''The Late Late Show'' is Ireland's longest running chat show and the flagship television programme of Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ). The show, hosted by Pat Kenny, is broadcast live for two hours in front of a studio audience at 9.30pm on Friday nights between September and May. The show was previously broadcast on Saturday nights. The Late Late Show was first broadcast on Friday, July 6, 1962 at 11:20pm. Since then, its format has remained largely the same, with music, chat, and audience involvement in debates on topical issues. The show's rapid rise to popularity led it to top the ratings consistently on RTÉ for forty years. Some sociologists have credited it with influencing Irish attitudes towards many issues.

Hosts

Gay Byrne

, presenter (1962-1999).]] When the show was launched, its original presenter was Gay Byrne, a young Irish broadcaster who had been working with Granada Television in Britain. Byrne remained the presenter for thirty-seven years until retiring in 1999. His 37 year stewardship of The Late Late Show means that he has hosted a chat show longer than any other presenter. Indeed, Byrne's style of presentation is credited as contributing largely to the show's success. Internationally Byrne's presentation style has been studied by 'would be' chat show hosts in many countries. Although the show began as a light summer "filler" in 1962, it soon became a forum for controversial opinion and debate. Topics such as divorce, contraception and a number of hitherto undiscussed areas were now being debated openly on television. The show seemed to represent the new liberalism of the 1960s in Ireland when the Archbishop of Dublin, John Charles McQuaid, was attacked by a guest in the show's first series. It is difficult to explain today just how sensational and shocking so many many people
