Craig Kilborn Comes Back

In a Y2K scenario never envisioned by even the most eccentric theorist, it seems TV is reseting back to 1999. Conan and Craig Kilborn will both be getting new shows this year.

"The Kilborn File" will be a half hour show and will air on FOX at times between 6:30 and 7:30 (depending on your location). Kilborn will lead a panel of "experts" who will take a sideways look at the day's news and pop culture.

Disappointing that it's not a late night talk show. Even more disappointing is that it sounds like Extra, The Bill Maher Crapathon or even worse, TMZ.

But, judging books by covers such as it is, I'll be watching beginning June 28th. Here's hoping it's a half hour version of The Thanksgiving Roundtable.

Conan starts on TBS November 8th (NOVEMBER 8TH?! Yeah.) A special "Team Coco Presents Conan's Writers Live" will air June 17th.
