2 meanings of guesting

1
verb
Present participle and gerund of guest.
The actor is guesting in three episodes of the new drama series.
Guesting on rival networks helped the band reach a wider audience.
Note
The verb behind it takes no object: performers guest on a show or in an episode, never guest the show itself. Musicians use it too, for a player brought in to supply an instrument a band normally lacks. An older transitive use, guesting someone in the sense of entertaining them hospitably, is now obsolete. As a gerund it names the activity, while the countable noun names a single appearance and takes the plural guestings.
2
nouncountable
An appearance on a television show in the role of an invited guest rather than a regular cast member.
Her guesting on the morning show coincided with the release of her new album.
The comedian's guesting on the panel show became the most-watched episode of the season.
