'Tonight' books first guest since strike


December 31, 2007 NBC has confirmed at least one guest for "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" when it returns Wednesday night with its first new episode since the writers strike started. Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is set to appear in the first original "Tonight Show" installment since the writers walked out Nov. 5. The networks' late-night shows have remained mostly mum about the guests that will be featured when they return from reruns Wednesday as they have been struggling with A-list guests worried about whether appearing on the shows would break solidarity with the WGA.
