Michael Phelps was first to the finish line at the Olympics, but he's taking his time making the talk show rounds. The swimming sensation, who won an Olympic record eight gold medals in Beijing, will visit
The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Monday, Sept. 8 (11:35 pm/ET, NBC).
The Tonight Show is the early winner in
the Olympic booking race, having already scored swimmer

Nastia Liukin this week. Wrestling gold medalists Henry Cejudo stops by on Wednesday and on Thursday Jay welcomes swimmer
Natalie Coughlin, who picked up six medals in Beijing, including her second straight gold in the 100-meter backstroke.
David Letterman is racking up golden guests, too. Gymnast Shawn Johnson and decathlon champion Bryan Clay showed up to the
Late Show on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, and beach volleyballers
Kerri Walsh and
Misty May-Treanor will visit on Wednesday (11:35 pm/ET, CBS).
Over at 30 Rock,
Late Night With Conan O'Brien has gold medal backstroker
