After the Late Night Wars toppled Conan O’B rien from The Tonight Show and reinstalled Jay Leno in his place, it seemed as though the battle lines had been drawn: on one side, there was Team Coco, on the other, Team Leno, and never the twain should meet. That’s what makes the news we’re about to reveal all the more surprising.

Carson Daly is a rarity among late-night hosts. The Santa Monica native broke into the afterhours landscape after a successful career in music, not comedy, and has spent the past eight years at NBC slowly breaking free from the traditional talk show format. When ConanGate threatened the 1:30 A.M. time slot that he had peacefully occupied since 2002, Daly stayed respectfully quiet about his network (even as his peers took swings at him ), instead submerging himself into a new Last Call format. Without a desk, a tie or an audience, Daly has finally found a documentary style for his show that fits — and allows him to shine a spotlight on the bands he loves (and covers during on his KAMP -FM morning radio show), take viewers on field trips (recently, to see a house that Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner was flipping) or expose his audience to stream-of-consciousness lessons from interesting figures like David Lynch. The persevering Daly phoned Movieline to discuss why he holds no ill will against NBC or his early-morning time slot, his fondest memories of MTV and the one shocking story that Matthew McConaughey never would have told in front of a studio audience.

It’s been a rough month for Bruce Willis, substance-wise. While promoting Cop Out on Good Morning America last month, the blazed actor could barely keep his eyes open for Robin Roberts. And then just last night, a journalist ran down the smashed actor at the Hornets/Lakers game, shoved a microphone in his face and asked him about March Madness and New Orleans music. Can’t a world-famous celebrity enjoy a night of boozy revelry without a follow-up interview? After the jump, Movieline recalls a few other stars who didn’t let a little thing like promotional obligations get in the way of a good buzz.

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi predicted a male winner and discussed other elements of the show, such as Simon’s close talking, with Jay Leno last night. Asked about the current season, she admitted a soft spot for Michael Lynche, a.k.a. Big Mike, who moved her to tears with last week’s performance: “I love him,” she said. Kara blamed her Italian heritage for getting so emotional, but couldn’t hide her affinity for Lynche, as well as her theory (or so it appeared) that a male will win this season. She also suggested that Simon Cowell might be suffering from separation anxiety from Mezghan Hussainy lately, as he’s been leaning in close to her a lot on the show. When Leno brought up her “ bikini moment ” (complete with picture), the phrasing of Kara’s response seemed to betray the influence of sitting near Simon every week: “It showed I could kinda take the piss out of myself,” she said. Alright then. Kara on Leno Who do you think will win American Idol this season? In other Kara news, her father, Joe, is running as a Republican for U.S. Senate in New York State!

I just got off of the phone with Shanny and she told me she will have Michael Stinson on at around 11:15 Alaska time. For those of you just joining us Stinson was the guy who posted that Palin’s Tonight Show performance was not exactly the home run we were led to believe that it was. Anyhow I will post the podcast later this afternoon, but if you want to hear it live just click here and give it a listen. It should be quite informative.

At least Sarah Palin can laugh at herself sometimes. In The Tonight Show’s opening bit Tuesday, the former Alaska governor and current media celebrity told Jay Leno “we’re going old school tonight,” pointing to the words “Good evening and welcome to the Tonight Show” printed on her hand. Calling it “the poor man’s teleprompter,” it was a funny jab at herself being caught with talking points written on her hand during a recent speech. Check out Palin’s Tonight Show crib notes intro, along with her taking a couple of stabs at Leno-esque monologue jokes in the video below … Palin on Tonight Show Palin also addressed the whole Family Guy thing yet again. “What I would desire is more opportunity to follow up on a comment that perhaps I’ve made,” she said, implying she does not get enough media coverage. “Jay, you’ve gone through this, too, especially in the last few months,” Palin continued as Leno feigned disagreement. “It’s like that old saying, a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can even get its pants on in the morning.” Totally . Leno also asked Palin about the possibility of abandoning politics for her own talk show one day. “I hear once in awhile this comes open,” she quipped.

Part One Her voice still has that shrill quality to it that sterilizes small farm animals at fifty paces. Her father tells her what kind of “ammunition” to use? WTF? And why in the hell did that elicit applause from an audience in California? Did she bring in her own people? “Opinion under the guise of hard news stories”? Isn’t that the very definition of EVERY show on Fox News? Leno is such a kiss ass, his line about attacks on her family could have been written for him by Rebecca Mansour, or recent escapee Meg Stapleton. SHE is the one that victimizes her children. And believe me they are NOT well adjusted. Wait SHE commented about the “Family Guy” episode? I thought Bristol did that? Uh oh did somebody forget their cover story? And how did she not have an “opportunity to follow up”. She has a full time Facebook ghostwriter for God’s sake! You guys alright? Do you need a break? Let me know when you are ready to listen to more of this lying twit. Now? Okay. Part Two Did she just throw her father under the bus? Did she actually blame a man who was a respected educator for teaching her to cheat? Just when I think I have seen her go as low as she can possibly get, she surprises me. I cannot help but wonder what McCain has on Palin that compels her to support his re-election bid? The mind reels. By the way Palin doing comedy is not all that surprising. I have been laughing at her for almost two years now. Oooh she sucks. What the hell is she doing with her hands? And yes Sarah you are right we DON’t know the real story, yet. But you can bet your ass we are getting there!
