   	Say, now ... uh ... hm.  No, I don't remember that, but I do   
   remember there being a manatee costume on the show as a sometimes   
   character (or maybe a sequence of characters).  I think they started   
   using a manatee for an 'Obscure Mascots' sketch, and then pulled it   
   out whenever they needed a large, awkward, barely mobile character.   
      
   	Now and then it seems like the default character for a show   
   sketch is just a guy standing around not knowing what he should be   
   doing instead ... I think I get that impression from the habit of   
   cutting back to the character after the comedy bit is done, so Conan   
   can laugh at trying to clean up after the sketch.
