Conan O’Brien Tour – Conan O’Brien Makes the Best of Situation with Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on TV Tour

 

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few months, you are likely aware that flame-haired funnyman Conan O’Brien is no longer hosting NBC’s Tonight Show. The former Late Night with Conan O’Brien and short-lived Tonight Show host is barred from appearing on television until September (according to terms of his exit deal from the network) and decided to make the best of his crummy situation with a live tour dubbed The Legally Prohibited From being Funny on Television Tour, according to Pollstar.com.

While Jay Leno has returned to his Tonight Show roost on NBC, Conan O’Brien can be seen on his Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour this spring and summer. O’Brien launched his 30-date tour from Eugene, Ore. on April 12 and will be stopping in U.S. and Canadian cities like Vancouver, BC; Spokane, Wash.; San Francisco, Calif.; San Diego, Calif.; Las Vegas, Nev.; Boulder, Colo.; Dallas, Texas; Tulsa, Okla.; Chicago, Ill.; Atlantic City, N.J.; New York, N.Y.; Boston, Mass. and more during his two-month trek.

Pearl Jam Tickets – Pearl Jam Reunites with Conan O’Brien Before Tour

Pearl Jam was the very first musical guest on Conan O’Brien’s short-lived NBC late night show Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, and Billboard.com reports that the Seattle rock band reunited with the funnyman on his current tour. Eddie Vedder & Co. paid a surprise visit to Conan’s Seattle show on his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour on April 19. Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder performed a three-song mini-set during O’Brien’s post-birthday gig (he turned 47 the day before), beginning with “Rise” off his 2007 solo soundtrack to the film Into the Wild.

Vedder performed a rendition of John Lennon’s “Oh Yoko” next, accompanied by a Telecaster-style ukulele, and changed the lyrics to “Oh Conan” in honor of the birthday boy. Vedder joked with the crowd, “There’s something that happens when you play very small instruments. It somehow creates the illusion that you’re tall; an illusion that’s completely shattered as soon as Conan O’Brien stands next to you.” For the record, Vedder is 5’8″ while O’Brien looms at 6’4″. Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready took the stage for the third and final song, a cover of the Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” which featured backing by O’Brien’s horn section.
