Jay Leno returns as host of The Tonight Show Monday night, and RadarOnline.com has a sneak peek at what to expect when Jay kicks off his second stint as host in wake of Conan O’Brien’s widely-publicized and widely-mourned departure.

Among the guests slated to appear on The Tonight Show during its' first two weeks back are Olympic standouts Shaun White, Apolo Anton and Lindsey Vonn; former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, American Idol kingpin Simon Cowell, Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, Matthew McConaughey, Twilight's Kristen Stewart and the red-hot cast of Jersey Shore.

Leno’s longtime band leader, jazz guitarist Kevin Eubanks is expected to return to the Tonight Show, although there’s been much talk that he wants a lesser role on the show, and will eventually leave to pursue other opportunities.

Leno consistently beat arch-rival David Letterman in the ratings when the two competed head-to-head during Leno’s first go-around as host of The Tonight Show, but Letterman surged to number one when O’Brien took over as host.

Letterman’s team isn’t taking any chances; for their first week up against Leno again, they’ve booked former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and interestingly enough, two NBC stars: Jerry Seinfeld and journalist Tom Brokaw.

The Tonight Show airs weeknights on NBC at 11:35/10:35 c.

Kimmel has the best monologues of all of them, he cracks me up out loud many times and has several stunts that are great. He's the best of them all.

Letterman is funny but usually only has 1-2 good jokes per monologue and the rest of it falls flat and he seems to just not care.

Leno's monologes were always witty and current whereas Conan stood there pretending to cut strings on his pants and shaking his stupid overly high hairdo and playing with his jacket like a preschool kid.
