Kinda underwhelmed at the opening week guests... Simon Cowell and Sarah Palin, really?

Isn't her
Playboy spread

coming up soon, you know the only thing she may be good at.

Actually his entire first two weeks are pretty yawn inspiring:

Monday, March 1 - Jamie Foxx, Olympic Skier Lindsey and a musical performance by Brad Paisley
Tuesday, March 2 - Sarah Palin, Snowboarder Shaun White
Wednesday, March 3 - “Jaywalk All-Stars” with the Cast of “Jersey Shore,” Chelsea Handler, Speed Skater Apolo Anton Ohno and a musical performance by Avril Lavigne
Thursday, March 4 - Matthew McConaughey and Jason Reitman
Friday, March 5 - Morgan Freeman and Meredith Vieira

Monday, March 8 - Simon Cowell
Tuesday, March 9 - Christoph Waltz, Animal Expert Dave Salmoni and a musical performance by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
Wednesday, March 10 - Kristen Stewart and Guy Fieri
Thursday, March 11 - Dana Carvey and Kim Kardashian, with a musical performance by Colbie Caillat
Friday, March 12 - Dakota Fanning and Judd Apatow

I wonder if it is because the show's booker is bad at their job. Or celebs not wanting to do the show because of the Conan controversy.

By booking run of the mill underwhelming guests they could be trying to take a 'business as usual' approach. It's painfully obvious that it's lacking the big names (Palin will be the highlight, but people will watch for the same reason they slow down passing a car accident) that usually come out for a launch of a show. I know this is a 'relaunch' but it's the same thing.

You wish,you dirty boy!.

Speaking of shows being canceled, I give that new Seinfeld show "The Marriage Ref" about 3 months before it's gone. The networks are so lost.

I agree!!!

Hmmm. I was wondering what studio Leno's "new" Tonight Show is going to use? Personally, I didn't like the studio he used for the now defunct Jay Leno Show. Will he go back to his old studio setup or, dare I say, hold stage at O'Brien's former studio?
