Insert results of a stored procedure into a temporary table

How do I do a SELECT * INTO [temp table] FROM [stored procedure]? Not FROM [Table] and without defining [temp table]?

Select all data from BusinessLine into tmpBusLine works fine.

select *
into tmpBusLine
from BusinessLine

I am trying the same, but using a stored procedure that returns data, is not quite the same.

select *
into tmpBusLine
from
exec getBusinessLineHistory '16 Mar 2009'

Output message:

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword
‘exec’.

I have read several examples of creating a temporary table with the same structure as the output stored procedure, which works fine, but it would be nice to not supply any columns.
