   And he hasn't shown enough to stick in the major leagues, in my opinion,   
   with the exception of his standup comedy, which has its moments. I haven't   
   been all that impressed by Pale Force, and having Gaffigan come in only for   
   certain segments would be awkward. Gaffigan does have some Andy   
   Richter-like qualities, but I actually think Conan is doing just fine   
   without a sidekick.

   Tom Anderson. Apparently, his profile says he's 32, but he's actually 36 or 37:
