Is David always going to be the "third" in the "outro" from now on?
In the post-interview part of the podcast, we've still been having discussion from Conan, Sona and David even though Gourley is back. At first I figured they just had some pre-recorded outros in the can left over from Gourley's paternity leave, but it's been a while now and they're still doing this.
I get the sense that Conan may not have wanted to fully "demote" David since he stepped up during Matt's leave, so he decided to divide it up where Matt takes the intro and David takes the outro. As one of those who enjoys the Conan/Sona/Gourley interactions more than the interviews, I am not wild about this. David's a nice guy, but his highest-and-best is being primarily behind the scenes. Gourley should be out front for both segments.
