   I'm just wondering how many people are watching for the guests as opposed to   
   just for Conan himself.   
      
   True, he often does take control, but I've noticed that with really good   
   guests who appreciate the show's style, like, say, Lauren Graham, there's a   
   very good back-and-forth between them.
