Former Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien has announced he’ll be heading out for a 30-city nationwide tour in April. O’Brien will be joined by sidekick Andy Richter and members of the former Tonight Show band for the tour, which launches April 12 in Eugene, Oregon.
Conan O’Brien promises his new “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour” will gift audiences with a “night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.” The tour is scheduled to hit 20 states and two Canadian provinces. Ticket prices will start at $39.50.
O’Brien has not yet announced any future television plans since he quit the Tonight Show in January. As part of his $32.5 million settlement deal with NBC on leaving the Tonight Show, O’Brien agreed he would not launch any new television projects until at least September.
O’Brien announced the details of his new comedy tour to his Twitter fans on Thursday morning. “It was either a massive 30ocity tour or start helping around the house,” O’Brien quipped.
We think it will be good for him to get back on the road and do some live shows.  Plus, the tour will probably provide plenty of new fodder for him to joke about when he does make that much anticipated return to TV at some point.
