Jay Leno is returning to "The Tonight Show" on March 1 following the Winter Olympics, and he's bringing with him some A-list guests over the course of his first two weeks. While his opening night will be a relatively low-key affair (with the exception of Jamie Foxx), the next day is expecting to be big as both former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert are scheduled for appearances. (Talk about bringing liberals and conservatives together.)
The cast of "Jersey Shore" will be jumping on board for Wednesday, March 3, and then Simon Cowell will be sitting down for a chat on Monday, March 8. (Cowell executive produces "America's Got Talent" for NBC.) The final high-profile guest for Leno will be "Twilight" and "The Runaways" star Kristen Stewart, who will talk with the late-night host on Wednesday, March 10.
It's still to be seen if Leno can pull in strong numbers following the debacle with Conan O'Brien earlier this year, but one thing's for certain: the producers are certainly trying to pull out the big guns to make it happen.

Why is anyone talking to this Palin idiot anymore? She is no body and isn't doing anything. You quit Palin, time to go away!
