The Third Guest

For two weeks Conan has scheduled 4 guests every night and made absolutely no effort to try and fit them all in. Every night, after the musical guest, Conan's saying, "My apolologies to (third guest) - we ran out of time." Meanwhile, I'm wondering what they were thinking.

8/18 - Ghost Doctor Steve Zampanides
8/17 - Sandwich King of Cincinnati Steve Zampanides
8/16 - Shark Whisperer Steve Zampanides
8/15 - Gargling Expert Steve Zampanides
8/11 - Animal Impressionist Steve Zampanides
8/10 - Billionaire Matchmaker Steve Zampanides
8/09 - Font Expert Steve Zampanides
8/08 - Hot-Sauce Expert Steve Zampanides
