Craig Kilborn, Saying Farewell To CBS's 'Late Late Show' (washingtonpost.com) - An excerpt:
" During his run, (Tom)Snyder averaged 1.6 million viewers and a 0.7 rating among 18-to-49-year-olds; the median age of his audience was 42 1/2 years.
In his tenure, Kilborn's show has averaged 1.5 million viewers and a 0.7 among 18-to-49-year-olds; the median age of his audience is 41 1/2 years, according to Nielsen. This season Kilborn's show has averaged 1.7 million viewers and a 0.7 rating in the demographic group.
Meanwhile, his time-slot competitor, NBC's Conan O'Brien, is averaging nearly 2.6 million viewers -- granted, with a larger lead-in audience provided by Jay Leno than Letterman serves up to Kilborn.
Kilborn retains about 39 percent of his Letterman lead-in; O'Brien about 43 percent of Leno's lead-in. In the 18-49 demographic, which is the target audience for these late-night shows, O'Brien hangs on to about 55 percent of Leno's audience and Kilborn about 46 percent of Letterman's.
"
About time.

Will they still play YAMBO? That's the best game. I still remember when they had Al Franken VS. Ben Stein in Franken/Stein's EXTREME YAMBO.
