Dana Edelson/NBCWhat else to do when you're out of work? Why, take a road trip. And that's just what Conan O'Brien is planning to do.
A source close to the former Tonight Show host tells E! News that O'Brien will officially announce performance dates next week on his new Twitter page. O'Brien will perform a live theatrical revue in major cities across the country beginning in April.
Guess that Home Depot gig didn't pan out, huh?
One potential date was leaked earlier today when Ticketmaster accidentally posted a notice that Big Red would be at Phoenix's Dodge Theater on April 30, with tickets going on sale Monday. The message has since been removed, and O'Brien's rep said the listing was premature and they were still "firming up dates." San Diego is reportedly one of the other cities making the cut.
No word whether the rest of Team CoCo, like Andy Richter and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, will be along for the ride. But the show will combine music and comedy, hearkening back to what O'Brien did back in 2004 when he transplanted NBC's Late Night to Toronto for a string of shows.
We'll be anxiously monitoring Conan's tweets. (Sarah Killen, you're life's about to change!)
Team CoCo member Howard Stern had a few choice things to say about Jay Leno recently. Check it out right here.
