Life. Lemons. Lemonade.
I want some Conan O’Brien “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” tickets. If you’re rowing in the same boat, Conan has tossed us a bone via Twitter:
“Hey Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://www.teamcoco.com/ for tix. I repeat: It’s half-assed.”
Why do I get the feeling that this tour has the potential to be the live, touring event of the year? Scheduled for 32 cities, over a three-month span, O’Brien is quite literally working his Coco-mojo from coast to coast, hitting states in the north, and dropping a little fair-skinned funk into the heart of the south, Atlanta, Georgia, too.
For those of you who are Conan haters, and somehow still Manolith readers, let me offer you a little taste of the truth: Conan O’Brien puts on a better show than Letterman and Leno combined. In terms of energy in a live talk-showy environment, the only thing I’ve seen come close to Conan O’Brien was a taping of The Daily Show, when Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert and Nancy Wall were still cast members.
Conan O’Brien kicks off his International Tour (yep, there are a few Canadian dates in there) on April 12, 2010, in Eugene, OR, and rumor has it, he’s going to dress like Steve Prefontaine. OK. No. I just started that rumor, but you never know with Coco. You just never know.

Man, that Bonnaroo line-up just keeps getting better and better. Ugh. He should stop by Coachella too!

Conan is the reason why late night is what it is. Before Conan, nobody would stay up to watch Greg Kinnear! He revolutionized the game. Thanks coco!
