| #4 Posted on 3.10.04 2056.29 Reposted on: 3.10.11 2057.31 | Michael Ian Black is now best known for being on all those VH1 list shows, like "I love the 80s."
He was on Ed. Before that, he was on Viva Variety (wasn't he Johnny Blue Jeans) and part of the State.
I think his schtick, much like Kilborn's, would get old quickly hosting a talk show. | CRZ

I DO know who he is, and feel he would SUCK MIGHTILY.
Of course, I didn't like Kilborn either, so for me it's a wash. ;-) | Nuclear Winter

(And, even at his most annoying, he never hits quite the "man, I want to beat that guy to death with my bare hands" level that is Craig Kilborn, so it's still a win/win situation.) | TheMASKEDComputerGeek

Michael Ian Black is fairly well-known as a cast member on Ed (which had excellent writing), and obscurely known as a writer for The State and Viva Variety. | JST

Did he present any hits by Wha-a-a-a-am! ?
Couldn't resist.
Seriously though, you say he was "Johnny Blue Jeans"? Hey, all the more reason not to stick around after Dave.

I liked Kilbourn; I'm gonna miss him.
I can't say that I know Black, but whenever I'm up late and watching TV, I'll check him out. I only watch the programs when there's a guest I want to see, but for hte most part, I don't bother. | Grimis

| #15 Posted on 4.10.04 1956.54 Reposted on: 4.10.11 1959.01 | I loathe Kilbourn, so I can honestly say I have only seen his show about four times. Black simply isnt funny. He's one of those guys who got a few people to laugh once or twice growing up, and thought it would be a great job.
If you are going to go I LOVE THE 80S for a host, get Hal Sparks. At least he has a personality. | DrewDewce

I certainly wish CBS luck, as it's an unusual choice, but I'd TiVo MIB and watch Conan for sure. | Packman V2

Dave Letterman's company produces the show, right? Because his company also produced "Ed" and...well, you get the idea. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
