Sarah Palin To Appear On First Week Of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show
The first batch of guests for Jay Leno‘s re-premiere of The Tonight Show is out – and it’s shaping up to be a star-studded first couple of weeks.
But the biggest surprise may be Sarah Palin, who appears next Tuesday.
Leno is back with all new Tonight Shows starting one week from today, and the guest list is a mix of Olympics stars, celebrities, and yes, a very well-known former VP candidate.
Jamie Foxx and Lindsey Vonn are on night #1, while Palin is a guest Tuesday night. This isn’t Palin’s first Tonight Show appearance – she made a cameo on the Conan O’Brien version (with William Shatner) in a hilarious bit in December. One show she probably won’t be showing up on – the new (old) head-to-head Leno competitor, Late Show with David Letterman.
Joining Palin Tuesday will be Shaun White. Other notable guests include Simon Cowell, Morgan Freeman and Matthew McConaughey.
