A big week of guests is planned across late night and we five picks you should be excited to see.

There is a reason that late night shows feature the name of the host in the title. The hosts are the main attraction and they set the tone and sense of humor for the show. But it is the guests that can keep viewers coming back night after night as the biggest names in entertainment, sports, and politics get a chance to shine in the late night spotlight.

Some big changes have been going on in late night in just the past couple months. By now you already know about Conan‘s new format. But the show recently announced the Inside Conan podcast that will take listeners behind the scenes of the show.

New shows are also coming to late night. We’re closing in on the debut of Alien News Desk, the, animated late night show from SyFy. We also found out that David Spade will be returning to late night with a new show on Comedy Central that will look at pop culture and celebrity news.

It all means that there is no better time for us late night fans. The variety of content is incredible. The hosts and writers of each show have been working hard to keep things fresh and find new ways to bring audiences entertainment each and every night. The guest certainly help achieve that goal on most nights and their star power can bring even more attention to each show.

So with that all being said, Last Night On presents its picks for five late night guests to be excited for this week. With both Conan and Jimmy Kimmel Live! off this week, it could be the perfect time for you to check out a show you don’t regularly watch. Click through the slideshow to see the selections, let us know what you think and who you want to see, and then be sure to tune in this week!
