'Eclipse' Cast Members Begin Their Domination Of The 'Late Night Lineup'

"In six months I went from hosting 'The Tonight Show' to performing at a refugee camp," Conan O'Brien joked to the sweaty hordes gathered in the comedy tent for the once-and-future late night host's 90-minute set at this past weekend's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. As O'Brien laid the groundwork for his new show with his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour in preparation for his return to TV this November on TBS, the rest of the late night world has been mostly in cruise control, owing mostly to the fact that it's the summer and people like to take a break. But there also may be a bit of burn out from the constant fireworks during the early part of 2010, when late night hosts were all taking jabs at each other in the spirit of competition. Since then, it has been relatively low-key. After all, when was the last time Jay Leno did something notable?

That could change this week. "The Tonight Show" has the potential to grab headlines, as Leno has a list of eclectic and unpredictable guests paying visits to his studio. Most notably, he'll have on a handful of stars from the upcoming film "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," including Ashley Greene (Monday, June 14) and Robert Pattinson (Tuesday, June 15). He'll also welcome stars from "Grown Ups," including Rob Schneider (Wednesday, June 16) and David Spade (Friday, June 18). On the music front, he'll have Travie McCoy on Tuesday and Kelis on Friday, which will make for a week full of tough, funky jams — not a typical sight on "The Tonight Show."

David Letterman seems to be catering to a slightly older audience this week, as he'll welcome Helen Mirren and Cyndi Lauper on Monday (not together, we assume) and Katie Couric and Devo on Tuesday (again, probably not together). Miley Cyrus will grace the couch on Thursday, June 17 to talk about her new album Can't Be Tamed. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" also seems to be gunning for an older demographic, as he'll welcome Don Rickles and Ozzy Osbourne on Tuesday (one of his few new shows this week). For youth, you have to turn to Jimmy Fallon, who will have on Broken Social Scene (Tuesday), the Gaslight Anthem (Wednesday) and Blitzen Trapper (Thursday).

But once again, the "Something for Everyone" award goes to "Live! With Regis and Kelly." On Friday, the show will feature both Miley Cyrus and Devo, bridging the gap between old and new like nobody else will this week.
