is that guy famous?

I was at Macy’s today looking for some flat-front pants (you ladies should be proud of me for that) and I overheard a familiar voice. It was a voice that sounded like someone I heard on TV. I turn around and see Craig Kilborn. Average looking guy, blond, mid-30s, sorta tall. Yeah, that’s Kilborn. What the hell is Craig Kilborn doing in Houson? Who cares. I called a couple friends and relayed the news. It’s not everyday you see a talk show host in the menswear section of Macy’s.

After I got home, I did some Google reconnaissance on Kilborn because something told me the guy I saw wasn’t really Kilborn. It was, in fact, the local weather guy, Frank Billingsley. Looking at the two pictures side by side, it’s clear these guys look nothing alike aside from the blond hair. I know, I must be on crack. So why did I think I saw Kilborn? Did I want to see Kilborn?

Ironically, Billingsley fits in well with another talk show host – Conan O’Brien. Billingsley has the same trademark O’Brien humongous hair wave.

Craig Kilborn is from Hastings, Mn. Not far from where I live. Dunno why he ditched his tv show cause his career is going nowhere. Benchwarmers? wtf.

h - really? well, then it couldn't have been Kilborn. Cuz Billingsley was shorter than me. c - for some reason i think you got that from a movie.

I'm surprised you didn't know Frank Billingsley. He's kindof a big deal. People know him. He's very important. He has many leather-bound books and his apartment smells of rich mahogany.
