Jay Leno adds Lambert, Harper to ‘Tonight’ return

LOS ANGELES — Jay Leno is pumping more music into his “Tonight Show” return.

Leno is back as host of NBC’s late-night show at 11:35 p.m. EST Monday, March 1. NBC said Wednesday he’ll be joined the first two weeks by Adam Lambert, Robin Thicke, Ben Harper, Ryan Bingham and Lifehouse.

Leno’s previously announced guests include Jamie Foxx, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Olympic champions Lindsey Vonn, Shaun White and Apolo Anton Ohno. NBC says Brett Favre has been added as a guest for the March 4 show.

Leno is returning to “Tonight” after a short, unsuccessful stint as a prime-time host. He’s reclaiming the show from Conan O’Brien, who left when NBC tried to move him to a midnight slot.
