LOS ANGELES — Craig Kilborn, former host of “The Daily Show” and “The Late Late Show,” is looking to return to television in an early- evening program that will be tested this summer in a handful of major markets, including New York and Los Angeles.
The half-hour program, being developed by News Corp.’s 20th Television, will have about a two-month trial run on Fox-owned stations.
