Conan Live?!

Possible exciting news for Conan O'Brien fans (like me) still mourning the end of his run on The Tonight Show - TheWrap is reporting that a deal is nearly in place for Conan to perform in a live show that will tour several cities in the US.

Thanks to his NBC exit deal, Conan will not be allowed to appear on TV until at least September.  Speculation is that his next show will end up on Fox, but nothing official has been announced yet, and probably won't be for some time.  In the meantime, fans who united during last month's late night wars have kept themselves entertained by sharing classic Conan clips through various social networking sites - such as the "Walker Texas Ranger Lever" clip that was posted by the 'I'm With Coco' group on Facebook today:

I really miss Conan.  And it's only been a month. 

Again, nothing is official yet, but a live show should be a lot of fun - especially if this tour should launch just as Jay Leno returns to The Tonight Show (which may soon be minus a bandleader).  Shows like Family Guy and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia have done successful live events, and members of SNL's cast also did live shows during the writer's strike.  It would also keep the Team Coco momentum going straight into whatever TV project Conan ends up at next.  Let's hope it happens - and that we get a TV announcement soon as well.
