I did a little research on what Conan is up to and it looks like he might be taking his hilariousness to a live theater near you soon, which would be amazing. I would travel to NYC (something I do at least once a year anyway just cuz I love and miss it) or pay lots of dolla dolla bills to see this show in my own town:
According to the New York Times’ Media Decoder blog, his reps have been developing a stage show that combines the best-loved parts of his TV act with “new stage elements.”
After exploring the degree of interest with some locations, Mr. O’Brien’s team has received “enormous interest from all over,” said one of his representatives, who asked not to be identified because the plans are not yet ready to announce. “We’ve heard from the U.K., Scandinavia, Australia, Toronto, everywhere; it’s been incredible.”
No dates have been finalized yet but the representative said Mr. O’Brien would appear in multiple cities, probably in sizeable venues like Radio City Music Hall in New York. “The interest is enough that Conan could probably do stadiums, but he doesn’t want to,” the representative said.
As for the show itself, another representative of the comic said staff members from his NBC show would probably be involved, from members of the band to writers who will help Mr. O’Brien craft new material for the show. “It’s one way to get some of the guys some money,” the representative said.
A formal announcement is some weeks away, both representatives said. Mr. O’Brien himself has been vacationing and is expected to begin participating in the planning starting next week."
It's brilliant really, since he can't go back on TV until September 1 per his contract with NBC evil masterminds, but can certainly hit the live stage to perform stand up, play the guitar, invent new hilarious characters, etc. Stay tuned..
