Could Conan O'Brien be coming soon to a venue near you?
Representatives of the former "Tonight Show" host confirm that O'Brien is planning a series of live shows across the country -- and perhaps even across the world -- in advance of a possible new TV show, which could come as early as this fall.
Though nothing definite has been decided, his reps believe the shows will only be in major cities and in large venues, so it doesn't sound like he'll be hitting up the DPAC. But you never know.
A formal announcement is expected in a few weeks.
O'Brien's contract settlement with NBC bars him from appearing on any television shows until September, but there's nothing to stop him from doing live shows. O'Brien left "The Tonight Show" in January after NBC tried to bump the show to 12:05am to make room for the return of Jay Leno.

Good for him
Sun, 02/21/2010 - 23:58 — paperoftimI believe Conan would have had a better tonight show than Jay Leno but he didn't have the time to build the audience. Leno said he was given less time to build an
audience than O'Brien was given, but then Johnny Carson didn't put a show on at 10pm every night before Leno's Tonight Show. Conan was the only reason I would have watched The Tonight Show but with Leno back there isn't any late show I'd want to watch. My two cents.
YES
