The Tonight Show with Jay Leno returns Monday night with an all-star lineup.

To mark his return to the late-night scene, Leno will celebrate his first week back on the air with appearances by Olympic gold medalists Lindsey Vonn and Shaun White, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and artists like Brad Paisley and Adam Lambert, among many others.

The week's schedule reads as follows:

Monday, March 1 - Guests include Jamie Foxx, Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn and a musical performance by Brad Paisley

Tuesday, March 2 - Guests include Sarah Palin, Olympic gold medal snowboarder Shaun White and a musical performance by Adam Lambert

Wednesday, March 3 - “Jaywalk All-Stars” with the Cast of “Jersey Shore,” Chelsea Handler, the most decorated American Winter Olympian of all time, speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno, and a musical performance by Avril Lavigne

Thursday, March 4 - Guests include Matthew McConaughey and Brett Favre and a musical performance by Lifehouse

Friday, March 5 - Guests include Morgan Freeman, Jason Reitman and a musical performance by Robin Thicke

Also making a comeback of sorts, former Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien opened a much buzzed about Twitter account this week.

His first Tweet: "Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me."

Due to his contract with former employer NBC, the comedian and host is unable to sign-on to a new show for at least 7 months.
