Conan O'Brien Announces Comedy Tour Dates

By Marc Schneider Posted Mar 11th 2010 10:54AM

Conan O'Brien is bringing a "half-assed" live show to 30 cities around the continent, the funnyman announced Thursday, ending weeks of anticipation from fans still reeling from his 'Tonight Show' exit.

Bypassing the old-school press release, O'Brien went directly to Twitter to break the news of the aptly-dubbed 'Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour': "Hey Internet: I'm headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour," he writes, adding, "I repeat: It's half-assed."

Eager Conanites can visit TeamCoco.com to view tour dates, which begin April 12 in Eugene, OR, and conclude June 14 in Atlanta. The tour is presented by American Express.

The June 1 date at Radio City Music Hall will mark a homecoming of sorts for O'Brien, as the famed venue is just steps away from 30 Rockefeller Plaza, his old home at 'Late Night.' For his Los Angeles stop on April 24, O'Brien will be performing at Universal Studios, where he taped 'The Tonight Show.'

Missing from the tour dates is Detroit, which should be a bummer to Sarah Killen, the Michigan native whom O'Brien solely follows on Twitter.

There are no more details on what will actually be included in the live show, except music will obviously be involved and that Andy Richter will likely be there. The sidekick-turned-announcer spoke briefly about the rumored tour while co-hosting 'Live! With Regis and Kelly.'

Rumors of a live show first began after Conan was booted from the 'Tonight Show' in January in favor of its previous host, Jay Leno. The funnyman left the network with a multi-million dollar settlement that reportedly keeps him off TV airwaves until September.

I'm doing the dance of joy! He will be in my town! You people must be the over 60 crowd. Conan always had musical guests that were cutting edge and not the boring mundane guests that older hosts have. I'm tired of baby-boomers not knowing when to pass the torch (JAY). By the way the money he got was also money that was given to people behind the scenes who lost their contacts for job opportunities when they moved their families to the West Coast! Karma will get Jay so I wish Conan much success! He is FUNNY!

James, ask for a refund from your current therapist. You still have unresolved childhood issues manifesting themselves in confrontational, juvenile rhetoric. ;)
