LETTERMAN’s Booked Bill Murray, Tom Hanks, Tom Brokaw & Jerry Seinfeld!! How Does That Stack Up Against LENO’s First Week Back??

I am – Hercules!!


CBS and David Letterman appear to understand (given the insanely low ratings "The Jay Leno Show" was pulling in its final weeks) that few are champing at the bit to see Leno restore mediocrity to “The Tonight Show,” so the “Late Show” bookers have snagged some big guns for Jay’s first week back.

I don’t think talk-show guests come much better than Bill Murray and Tom Hanks -- but you tell me which show has the better line-up for the first week of March:

MONDAY, MARCH 1

LETTERMAN
Bill Murray
Ludacris

LENO
Jamie Foxx
Lindsey Vonn
Brad Paisley


TUESDAY, MARCH 2

LETTERMAN
Mitt Romney

LENO
Sarah Palin
Shaun White


WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3

LETTERMAN
Jerry Seinfeld
Tom Brokaw

LENO
Jersey Shore Cast
Chelsea Handler
Apolo Ohno
Avril Lavigne


THURSDAY, MARCH 4

LETTERMAN
Tom Hanks

LENO
Matthew McConaughey
Jason Reitman


FRIDAY, MARCH 5

LETTERMAN
Matt Damon
Danny Bhoy
Corinne Bailey Rae

LENO
Morgan Freeman
Meredith Viera

“Farscape: The Complete Series,” $129.49 last year, is momentarily $59.99. That works out to less than $15 per season!!
