"Let's Talk Tennis with Timothy Olyphant" ... someone make this happen

TO is by far the best recurring guest... he and Conan have the best bromance in late-night TV. I really think they should give him a segment and sports would be awesome since he was so great on the Joe Escalante show. (clips here - http://timothy-olyphant.org/?page_id=153) Conan doing a bunch of remotes with TO would be awesome.

I've lived a meager life and deserve more. Make this happen.

Olyphant is definitely one of Conan's best guests, but... I have noticed that some segments are more magical than others. I think it boils down to Tim's mood and his level of confidence. Don't get me wrong, he always projects his trademark Olyphantastic confidence, but some times it's a bit more manufactured than others.

Jeff Goldblum is very similar in that way. I think part of the problem is that when they do an amazing appearance, the expectation is that the next appearance will be equally amazing, and it increases the pressure. A massive part of their success is comfort level. When they're at their most comfortable, that's when they're the best.

FYI, remotes are extremely time consuming. A younger, single, less famous actor like Steven Yeun can generally fit something like this into his schedule, but carving out free time in a schedule of someone of Olyphant's stature is pretty much impossible.
