In 1999, CBS tapped Kilborn to become the host of The Late Late Show, replacing Tom Snyder. He hosted the program for five years, from March 1999 to August 27, 2004, for a total of 386 episodes. During his tenure, he introduced popular segments such as “5 Questions” and “Yambo,” both of which became fan favorites. His witty delivery and unique comedic timing helped distinguish the show during his tenure.
On August 27, 2004, Kilborn hosted his final episode and announced he would be stepping away from late-night television. His decision was driven by a desire to explore other creative ventures.
Post-television, Craig Kilborn turned to acting and occasional media appearances.

Although Kilborn has mostly stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, he has not officially retired from the entertainment industry. His estimated net worth is around $7 million, reflecting success across television and film.
In 1998, Craig Kilborn married Amber Smith. The couple had been in a long-term relationship prior to marriage, and together they have one son, Jonathan Kilborn. Known for keeping his private life relatively low-profile, Kilborn values family and maintains a stable personal life.
