If the credits shows...

Name                  Role
actor name          Role actor plays
actor name          Role actor plays
actor name          Role actor plays
Himself                Craig Kilborn
actor name          Role actor plays
actor name          Role actor plays
actor name          Role actor plays

Then no... I do not agree that himself is meant to be the role name.

in this case I believe it definitely should be...

Name                                Role
actor name                    Role actor plays
actor name                    Role actor plays
actor name                    Role actor plays
Craig Kilborn (Himself)      Craig Kilborn
actor name                    Role actor plays
actor name                    Role actor plays
actor name                    Role actor plays

If it was meant to be a role name I believe it would be in with the rest of the role names in the list... not in the cast name list. So yes... atleast until Ken said differently that is how I would contribute and vote on such situations.

I am reading strictly as the rules are written and taking the info strictly as it is presented in the credits... so it is the only answer that I personally can see.

Of course... as with everything else... if Ken put an exception in the rules or told me differently here in the forums I would whole heartedly follow whatever his wishes were.

Why do we want to be such slaves to structure and rote data entry?

Any reasonable person knows that the person's name is Craig Kilborn and that "Himself" is not his name nor is it meant by the producers to be his name.

The fact that the studio has reversed the on screen position of the name versus the role for this particular credit is no reason to abandon all common sense and try to argue that his name is "Himself".

When reading the credits one would say, "Craig Kilborn as Himself" regardless of the order that they appeared on the screen.

Sometimes I really wonder.
