The character of Casey McCall in Sports Night (1998) was loosely based on him.
Played collegiate basketball for Montana State University.
Replaced Tom Snyder as host on the Late Late show in 1999. Was replaced by
Craig Ferguson in 2005.
Last name is traditionally pronounced "Kil-burn," but in the US it is
commonly pronounced "Kil-born." He has addressed this on the show with
Irish guests.
Big fan of Minnesota Timberwolves, especially Kevin Garnett.
Leaving his Late Late Show to "try other things" such
as writing and producing television shows. Presumably will also
continue to dabble in acting. (September 2004)
