Names in the news By Tirdad Derakhshani--Knight Ridder Newspapers August 13, 2004
	(KRT)- Craig Kilborn is dumping you.  It's not your fault, he says.  But he's gotta go.  Yep, CBS' loutishly handsome talking blond coiffure is pulling the plug on his "Late Late Show," Variety says.  (Expect his adieu within a month.) "It was easily the greatest job I've had, and CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me," Kilborn said with unusual modesty and tact.  "I can now focus on writing and producing different television projects." This means the world will soon be deprived of some of TV's greatest images: Craig caressing his own hair in that narcissistic-yet-lovable way of his; Craig blowing sensual kisses at the camera. No one could ever replace those blond locks, but wags are already conjecturing that rival late-night talker Conan O'Brien might take the "Late Late" mantle when his NBC contract is up in December '05.  And, like Craig, Conan does have a distinctive coif.
