Conan O’Brien Tour

The rumored Conan O’Brien tour is no longer a rumor.

O’Brien, whose exit by “The Tonight Show” and NBC bars him by taking another TV job until September, will release “The Legally Prohibited by Being Funny on Television Tour” in Eugene, Ore., on April 12. He, sidekick Andy Richter and his “Tonight Show” band led by Max Weinberg will hit 30 cities during the period of two months.

O’Brien released the tour Thursday morning (March 11) on his Twitter feed: “Hey Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It’s half-assed.”

The tour includes dates on the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal Studios in L.A. — an NBC Universal-owned property that’s just a stone’s throw from O’Brien’s “Tonight Show” soundstage — and Radio City Music Hall in New York, just up the street from NBC headquarters. O’Brien and Co. may also hit Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Austin, Chicago, Toronto and Washington, D.C., during the tour, and also Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee on June 11.

O’Brien is promising “a night of comedy, music, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.”

Conan O’Brien Tickets start at $39.50 and are also available through Ticketmaster.
