A Night of Music, Comedy, Hugging, and the Occasional Awkward Silence
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.”
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.’
