Craig Lawrence Kilborn, aka Mr. Craig Kilborn on instagram, has found himself back in the spotlight after word of mouth has gained him a whopping 12K followers.

And although the numbers may be low, just think of his account as one of those undiscovered Internet gems, waiting to be exposed.


He's retired for 15 yrs now and lives in a 1920s English home in LA and broadcast regularly from his lounge chair or some fine establishment such as an upscale French restaurant or a classic hotel. And of course, he's always dressed in a fine sweater, vest. Or sport coat, sometimes even wearing and ascot and sipping fine wines.

Tonight I'm watching My Fair Lady

How Craig spends his day

Pontificating with Gucci loafers

Now they cheer because they want to

Martini and a wink

Here I sit and spin one of three #compost stations at my English Manor. And to protect my soft skin from Old Man Sunshine...I reach into my extensive parasol collection. It really is a wonderful #life. #leadership #environment #gogreen

I'm never sure if Craig is actually like this or it's a facade he puts up because he walked from a plum situation and he doesn't want it to look like he regrets it.

The pseudo-intellects will never admit it, but the Daily Show was funnier with Kilborn.

I can't tell if he's a weird Hollywood greenie, or if he's trolling them....

Top five Reasons to follow Craig Kilborne.

5. You don't know who be is, but he looks interesting.

4. You don't remember this top five schtick from the daily show.

3. He was the first ESPN sportscenter anchor to be funny.

2. He hosted the Daily Show before it went political.

1. Because you can be edgy and pretend you actually watched the original daily show.

That's kind of the whole point. He has a little of that Andy Kaufman, Norm Macdonald thing where your not really sure what is a bit and what is not, but Kilborn is far more on the nose than those two.

He probably legitamelty likes gardening and drinking green juice and composting, etc., but then he plays it off like he's some kind of Hollywood enviro a-hole-nutjob just for the laugh.

I think you either get Kilborn or you don't, and his IG is peak "Kilby."

Is 12K really a lot of follower for someone who's as well know in a couple of different industries like him?

No and he's really not even well known anymore. He's more of an answer to a trivia question than famous now. If you're under 30 you probably have no idea who he is.

I didn't watch the daily show until Stewart hosted but Kilborn's Late Show was fun television. I eventually liked Ferguson but I still wish Kilborn would replace most of the people hosting talk talk shows

I always enjoyed his brand of humor. Deadpan mixed with the absurd. It's pretty great. I had no idea this was a thing.

Followed.
