The Kilborn File was a late night talk show that aired on FOX in 2010. The show was hosted by former ESPN SportsCenter anchor and former host of The Daily Show, Craig Kilborn. The Kilborn File was Kilborn's triumphant return to TV after a five-year break from television. In the show, Craig Kilborn interviewed celebrities, discussed the latest news and pop culture trends, and offered his own comedic takes on current events. The show aired Monday through Friday from 7-8 p.m. EST.

The Kilborn File had a different format than other late-night talk shows. The show was recorded in front of a live studio audience, giving it a more intimate feel. The set was high-tech and minimal, featuring a large video screen that showcased graphics and video clips relevant to the show's topics. The show also had a band, The Obits, who performed original music throughout the show.

Craig Kilborn was known for his comedic chops, and he brought them to the show. He used his sharp wit and dry humor to poke fun at celebrities and politicians alike. He had a segment called "The 5 Questions," where he asked guests five random questions that ranged from the silly to the serious. Kilborn also had a segment called "Craig's List," where he offered his hilarious take on the latest headlines and pop culture trends.

One of the recurring segments on The Kilborn File was "Get This," where Kilborn presented bizarre and often hilarious news stories from around the world. He also had a segment called "Craig's Crystal Ball," where he made predictions about upcoming events or trends. Kilborn's wit and humor shone through in every segment, making the show a must-watch for late-night viewers.

Christine Lakin was the show's co-host and Craig Kilborn's on-air partner. Lakin is best known for her roles in TV shows like Step by Step and Hollywood Darlings. She brought a youthful energy to the show and often served as the straight man to Kilborn's comedic antics. Lakin also had her own segments on the show, including "Craigslist Listings," where she read absurd and hilarious advertisements from Craigslist.

The guests on The Kilborn File were a mix of A-list celebs and up-and-coming talent. Some of the most high-profile guests included actors Eric McCormack, Neil Patrick Harris, and Rob Lowe, comedian Joel McHale, and director Jon Favreau. Kilborn had a way of getting his guests to reveal personal stories and share their opinions in a way that was both entertaining and insightful.

Overall, The Kilborn File was a refreshing take on the late-night talk show format. Craig Kilborn's humor and charm, mixed with Christine Lakin's youthful energy, made the show a must-watch for audiences looking for something different. While the show only lasted for one season, it left a lasting impression on viewers who appreciated Kilborn's unique approach to hosting a talk show.
