Will You Watch Jay Leno's Return to The Tonight Show?
This evening we'll watch as Jay Leno resumes his post at The Tonight Show after the long fiasco that we at Sugar HQ fondly refer to as the NBC Late Night Controversy of 2010. Guests Jamie Foxx, Brad Paisley, and Olympian Lindsey Vonn will be there to help welcome the host, as he tries to save face and bounce back in the ratings game.
Frankly, I'm curious to see if Leno can accomplish such a feat.
Should the Late-Night Shows Bring In Guest Hosts?
Boy, I wouldn't want to solve this dilemma for Jay Leno: If he continues supporting the Hollywood writers' strike by staying away from The Tonight Show, his whole crew will be laid off. But if he comes back to work, he has to cross picket lines. Other late-night hosts are in similar jams this week, as their shows enter a second week of repeats and the networks start to get antsy.

What Should Jay Leno Do Next?
It won't be long now till there's a change of leadership in The Tonight Show chair: Conan O'Brien is scheduled to take over the show from Jay Leno in 2009. With the transition time approaching, one of the biggest questions in showbiz has become what will become of Leno, who's still on top of the late-night heap (even more so recently with David Letterman's declining ratings).
