When Jay Leno returns to the 'Tonight Show' on March 1, will anybody be watching? Based on his guest list for the month, all signs point to "you betcha."

According to his official site, Leno has booked a slew of famous faces for his much-anticipated and highly-debated comeback, beginning with Jamie Foxx and Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn.

The following night, Leno will play host to former Vice Presidential candidate-turned-Fox News correspondent Sarah Palin (March 2). And if that wasn't enough, Leno will then interview the cast of MTV's wildly popular reality show 'Jersey Shore,' on March 3. (We wonder: How soon before Leno books disgraced golfer Tiger Woods?)

They're pulling out all the stops for Jay's return to the Tonight Show. Wonder what the ratings will be like. We'll find out soon enough.

Here's what will happen....his first weeks ratings will be above normal, then within a few weeks they will level off to what his ratings always were, meaning beating dave and by May at the latest, everyone will have forgotten he was ever even on at 10PM.

Agreed. I think Leno will be just fine. His return will most likely be big - and continue big, considering he's got Sarah Palin on Tuesday - and he'll seen go back to his old 4.5-5 million viewers he always got. As much as people may have sided with Conan, Leno's fanbase is larger and loyal, and they won't let some fall-out interrupt their latenight viewing.
