Cool Conan O'Brien Tour

Sign in to disble this ad
Just when I was wondering what he was up to, they announced a big 30 city live tour.

I must say I wasn't expecting that. But that's cool - he's keeping himself in shape, staying in the public eye, trying something different.

Anyone going to check it out?

So far the online tickets start at $200. (Uhh... sorry Coco, I won't do that.)

But if the $40-$60 tix I read about become available, I might just go for that.

I'm going to see him at Bonnaroo. Tickets for Roo in general are about $250, but that's to see a ton of good bands, and Conan.

Wow. Oh, well - good for him. I got a gig that night anyway.

I hope the tour kicks total a$$ and sets him up nicely for a show on Fox. Then I can catch his show again on a daily basis, at home, for free.

Funny, I saw a headline somewhere: "Is Conan's Tour Going To Bomb?".

Apparently not in ticket sales.

They were all sold out in the bigger cities within a hour or 2, hence why some cities have 2 shows now.


Smaller cities still sold out within 4-5 hours

I am more of a Craig Ferguson fan but good luck to them on the tour. I do think the Max Weinberg Band is great though.

Not to rain on anyones parade but I just never found him at all entertaining. Sorry Just for the record, I can't bring myself to watch Letterman, Leno or any of the others unless an interesting guest might be on. I just don't see what people find interesting about these shows I'd rather watch paint dry.

Those shows just aren't your thing. No need to be sorry. To be honest, I find most of the late night shows/hosts to be very boring. I do like Conan and it's too bad what happened with the Tonight Show fiasco. As much as I like Leno, he's getting tired. His delivery is not what it used to be. He's still doing the (boring) Jay Leno show, which bombed at the 10PM time slot, and calling it the Tonight Show. Letterman is still doing a good show. The rest of them aren't for me.
