We knew Twitter wouldn’t keep former Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien occupied for long. The comedian announced Thursday that he’s taking a brand-new show on tour starting next month, and yes—Canadian provinces are on the agenda.
The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour begins April 12 in Oregon and quickly heads to Vancouver the next day. Another stop is planned in Alberta on April 17. So far the tour will make stops in 30 cities, but additional dates may be added.
Joining Coco is the former Tonight Show band and sidekick Andy Richter, in a night that O’Brien says will be a “night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.”
The host is legally prohibited from helming another TV series until September, thanks to a negotiation with NBC. There have been no announcements as to whether or not the comedian has landed another gig, although there have been plenty of rumours.
