   Bob Costas and David Cross (tie) -- two of my favorite people.   
      
   >         - Worst Guest?   
      
   Whoever the second guest is Wednesday night.   
      
   >         - Best Show?   
      
   Friday, especially if Bob Costas and David Cross are followed by a   
   musical guest I really like.  Hey, Conan bookers, I don't think They   
   Might Be Giants are out on tour right now, which means they're right   
   across the river in Brooklyn...   
      
   Or Monday, if Marcia Cross is wearing something low-cut.   
      
   >         - Worst Show?   
      
   Monday, if David Gregory is wearing something low-cut.   
      
   >         - Guest who'll be used in an outside-the-interview comedy bit?   
      
   Amy Poehler, in a bit in the middle of the show in which she has a line   
   or two.  (I also predict a return appearance of the Costas-heads, but I   
   guess that's a during-the-interview comedy bit.)   
      
   >         - Guest who'll jump off the couch and maybe break something?   
      
   I don't think she'll be on the couch because I think she'll be doing a   
   cooking demonstration, but Nigella Lawson certainly has the highest   
   chance of breaking something.  You know, like eggs.   
      
   >         - Saturday Night Live performer other than Amy Poehler who'll   
   > fill in an empty guest slot?   
      
   Her new "Weekend Update" co-anchor Seth Meyers.

   > episode, way back in September 1993?   
      
   Yes.  "We just had our 13th anniversary a couple weeks back..."   
      
   >         - Rebecca Romijn-Stamos: A mention or not?  How to spell her   
   > name?   
      
   I don't think she'll be mentioned.  They're not together anymore.   
   (She's dropped the "Stamos.")   
      
   >         - Number of times Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will be used

   Only once.   
      
   Another prediction:  Conan will pay special attention to both David   
   Gregory's height and Michael Clarke Duncan's overall size.
