Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Although this show does have it's moments, the jokes are for the most part predictable, and the comedy segments are not anywhere near as funny as what you'll see on Conan O'Brien, which is on at the same time. I recommend for late night television is that you watch Letterman followed by Conan.

Craig Kilborn is a natural... talented, charming, and amazingly adorable. His unique style has really brought something to the show and it will always remain apart from other late-night shows. I think that it is a quality hour to be watched every night and it doesn't need toilet-humour to generate cheap laughs...it's a winner!

When I was about eight years old, I used to tune in to Letterman or Leno from time to time. While their juvenile antics amused me when I was young, and on rare occasion still do to some extent-- I grew weary of their repetitive, unfunny jokes and stupid skits. In my mid-teens, I started watching Conan. I thought, this guy is succeeding where the others have failed. But I also tired of Conan, and rather quickly, as I found his range as a comedian quite miniscule and his jokes monotonously shallow. I still tuned in occasionally, but not more than a few times a year, because that seemed to be the only way late shows could stay funny and fresh to me.And then, about a year ago, my friend started nagging me to watch Craig Kilborn. I kept forgetting about it, and so he started taping episodes and making me watch them whenever I was over at his house. At first, though I noted Kilborn to be a skilled comedian with a very diverse portfolio of perfectly executed facial expressions, I didn't understand a lot of his jokes. This is because he has built his show upon a foundation of inside jokes that are sometimes rephrased and repeated a number of times within any given week. As a new viewer, I was unfamiliar with his inside jokes. But now, I feel they are one of the best parts of his show, because for an inside joke to be funny-- the audience has to KNOW what he is talking about. It makes you feel like a part of the show.I treasure parts of Kilborn's show, such as In The News, Five Questions, and Yambo. Not only are these segments often the highlight of Craig Kilborn, they (more often than not) dwarf the competition in terms of wit, humor, and intelligence.But the thing that makes The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn succeed more than anything else is Craig Kilborn. He has a style of comedy that is very self-referential, and he puts on the act of a vain man who thinks he is more important than he really is. He'll act like he thinks he's a big star, while in reality, he's really making fun of himself.You have to hand it to him. This man with no announcer and no band has single-handedly created the greatest late-night talk show of our time.
If you don't like Craig Kilborn, then try watching it for a couple of weeks straight. If you're not converted by the end of those two weeks, then you're simply not American.

This is show is a one-trick pony and the one trick isn't very funny. This show is nothing more than Craig Kilborn using his smarmy frat boy charm for all that it is worth (which isn't alot). He ripped off "In the News" and "5 Questions" from his Daily Show days, proving that he is incapable of creating any new gimmicks to get us to laugh. If you truly want to be entertained late at night, watch the Daily Show (Jon Stewart has taken that show to incredible heights) and follow it up an hour later with Conan.
