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.

It’s a busy time of the year in the entertainment industry right now. The Academy Awards were last night and a number of shows are getting ready to return or launch as the winter winds down. Late night plays an important role in the promotion and marketing of these shows. That means that some big name guests will be stopping by some of your favorite shows.

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 The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden 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!
