Ferrell, Vaughn Join Kilborn’s Farewell
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Craig Kilborn will say goodbye to late-night TV with some of the folks who provided clip-worthy material on “The Late Late Show.”
Kilborn’s farewell show will air Friday (Aug. 27). “The Late Late Show” is then going into reruns for three weeks and will return in mid-September with a roster of yet-to-be-named guest hosts.
“Elf” and “Anchorman” star Will Ferrell, actor Vince Vaughn — whose name is oft mentioned as a potential guest host — and actress Marlee Matlin will be among Kilborn’s final guests. Former Batman Adam West and Martin Mull will also join Kilborn, as will entertainer extraordinaire Wayne Newton, via satellite from Las Vegas.
Friday’s show will also include highlights from Kilborn’s five years on “The Late Late Show,” which he took over after the departure of Tom Snyder in 1999.
Kilborn announced earlier this month that he wasn’t asking for a contract renewal from CBS and Worldwide Pants, which produces the show. His departure came as something of a surprise, leading to the scramble for guest hosts.
