Craig Kilborn Signs Deal with ABC for TV Comedy

Hey, remember when he used to host "The Daily Show"?

None

It looks like Craig Kilborn is finally returning to television. Maybe. The former Daily Show host, last seen hosting The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn in 2004, has a deal with ABC Studios that will afford him the chance to write a half-hour comedy script, which he'll also produce and star.

Kilborn was a sensation in the mid-'90s thank to his work on ESPN and The Daily Show. Since his post-Letterman show went off the air, though, he's been relatively MIA. Will his brand of snark mean anything to today's audiences? That's far from a sure thing, but then again, so is this deal actually producing a television show that ABC airs.

Stay tuned...
