It looks like Conan O'Brien has traded in being the TONIGHT SHOW host only to host a self-described, "half-assed" comedy tour. On April 12, in Eugene Oregon(Oregon's largest college city), Conan will kick off a 30 city show tour with comedy and music with his longtime friend Andy Richter. Conan claimed that he either do this comedy show tour or else "helping out around the house".
Conan used the term "half-assed" to describe the show because he didn't want his fans to get their hopes too high that the show would be anywhere near as good as what he did on the TONIGHT SHOW, although die-hard fans likely won't be too disappointed. Conan is prohibited from performing on TV until September according to the terms of his exit deal from NBC, so the official name of the tour is called, "The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour".

I can't picture O'Brien doing a full stand-up set.
It seems it would be painful. O'Brien seems more of a situation guy, a'la Pimpbot 3000, etc.
More of a counterpuncher.
Bill Maher? Very funny!!!
