Carlin, Coulter To Face Off On Leno

LOS ANGELES -- "Tonight" host Jay Leno might want to consider wearing referee stripes on Wednesday's show when Ann Coulter and George Carlin are his guests.

Coulter, the acid-tongued conservative with a new book out, and Carlin, the quick-witted, antiestablishment comedian who's in the voice cast for the new animated film "Cars," were booked at separate times for the NBC late-nighter, a spokeswoman said Monday.

But the duo's meeting could produce serious fireworks for "Tonight," which usually limits its political fodder to Leno's bipartisan monologue jokes.

Coulter, author of "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," has drawn fire for attacking the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks in which their husbands died.

In her book, Coulter accuses the women of "reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."

An appearance by Coulter on NBC's "Today" led to a prickly exchange with host Matt Lauer over her comments on the widows.

Also scheduled for "Tonight" Wednesday is Scottish singer and songwriter KT Tunstall.

Brian "Don't anyone think it's ironic that the Persian Gulf War is being run by two guys by the name of Dick Cheney & Colin Powell? Sounds like somebody is getting f**ked-George Carlin circa 1991" j.

This may be worth staying up for. Or, like Maria said, figuring out how to tape it.

One thing I love about summer is being able to stay up and watch the late night talk shows. I really can't say I dislike any of them, except the one Carson Daly had.....he had no idea wtf he was doing. I like Leno, Letterman, and Conan (funny SOB).

I remember loving George Carlin as Mr. Conductor in Thomas the Tank Engine. I LOVED that show when I was little.
