I don't see Conan anywhere on that list.

 

[Ika]

I see a bunch of names I recognize (which is saying a lot), can't be that bad.

 

[PimpJuice]

Seems about right.....who the hell were you expecting, rofl.

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

looks like a pretty solid line up. not sure who else to expect.

 

[Aharami]

seems ok to me

 

[Lotheron]

This. It doesn't seem that bad to me?!

 

[mmntech]

Pretty much the same as his usual lineup. Freeman is on The Hour tonight.

 

[TallBill]

Even I recognize 90% of the names. OP is fail.

 

[Miramonti]

Recognition is hardly the benchmark...would you tune in to watch any one of those? Maybe a couple at best, lol. Freeman is the biggest star...and other than the gold medal winners, there are no A-listers.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Jay is not funny at all and he can make even the most interesting guest boring.

<--Will not watch.

 

[Miramonti]

With lineups like that, this is not going to end well for Leno.

 

[Lamont Burns]

Olympian medalists after Olympics = standard for nbc... the station that broadcast it... connect the dots.

 

[NFS4]

I'm not Jay's biggest fan, but that's a pretty nice lineup if you ask me. WTF were you expecting?

 

[FoBoT]

i am willing to appear

have your people call my people

 

[Miramonti]

Not even any hot chicks in the first two weeks...ZERO!!

 

[Lamont Burns]

Kim K will appeal, if you know your Olympians Vonn is hot. I'd also fuck Kristen Stewart... and Meredith Vieira. Wait what were we talking about?

And Conan has had sausage parties, what's your point?

And how did that end up being the criteria with concluding that no one wants to be on Leno?

 

[Miramonti]

I'm not Jay's biggest fan, but that's a pretty nice lineup if you ask me. WTF were you expecting?

For a kickoff...where's streep, pacino, nicholson, hoffman, depp, anyone of star status that says, 'this is the place to be again.' Aside from the athletes and Freeman, this is an attention whore/nbc lineup at best.

Kim K...dimwitted attention whore at best.

Kristen Stewart is a boy, and Meridith Vieira is almost 60 years old. Please stop sharing who you'd fvck, it's TMI.

Olympic Gold Medal Skier Lindsey Vonn

I don't think that looks like a bad guest list. They do ~200 shows a year, that's a lot of spots to fill.

 

[PepePeru]

March 9 - 11 look pretty weak

 

[Linflas]

Probably no different than his guest list would have been a year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago at this time of the year. Guests on those shows are driven by movie and TV publicity, sports events, and whomever happens to be involved in the scandal de jour. He will get his usual parade of TV stars during sweeps and movie stars when the summer releases start up in May.

You said no hot chicks, I disagreed with my feelings towards the women on the guest list. It's relevant. This is not a G rated board.
