In case anyone doubted the red-haired, sad-faced man’s popularity, Conan O’Brien (@ConanObrien) is unleashing the fullness of his fierceness.  After making a triumphant entrance into social media where he, within a couple of hours, accumulated hundreds of thousands of followers and following up his grand social media stand by following ONE lucky woman (whom he promptly made an instant web-celeb), Team CoCo announced yesterday that tickets were officially on sale for his 30-city, cross-country, live talk show.  And then there were none.  Sold out in less than 24 hours.

Although NBC tied Conan’s hands in keeping him from being able to perform on tv for the next six months in a bloody contract negotiation, nothing is prohibiting him from bringing his brand of humor to his audiences in a live show.

Also joining Conan on tour will be Andy Richter and the former “Tonight Show” band.  What can audiences expect?  According to the press release:

“a night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.”

The tour kicks off in the U.S. and Canadian April 12th in Eugene, Ore.

As for his brutal battle with NBC and Leno clearly wore him down at the time, it looks like Conan may have gotten the last laugh after all.
