On March 11, 2010, Conan O'Brien took to Twitter to announce his highly anticipated comedy tour, titled 'The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour.' This tour was a response to his departure from 'The Tonight Show' and marked a significant moment in his career. Kicking off on April 12, 2010, in Eugene, Oregon, O'Brien performed to a sold-out crowd of 2,500 fans, all without the presence of TV cameras, allowing for a more intimate and personal experience. The tour spanned two months, covering 30 cities across the United States and Canada, showcasing O'Brien's unique brand of humor. Co-host Andy Richter joined him on stage, along with members of the former Tonight Show Band, although Max Weinberg made only a guest appearance at one of the New York City shows. The tour included stops in major cities such as Los Angeles and New York City, where O'Brien performed at the iconic Radio City Music Hall, adjacent to his former Late Night studios. The tour concluded in Atlanta on June 14, 2010, leaving a lasting impact on fans and solidifying O'Brien's status as a comedy legend.
