Conan O'Brien Plans American Comedy Tour, Builds Dolphin Fan Base

In between growing out his unemployment beard and kissing every Bottlenose dolphin in Hawaii this week, Conan O'Brien has been planning his comeback. According to The Wrap, Coco and his representatives at William Morris Endeavor have worked out a clever plan that skirts the clause in NBC's exit deal prohibiting O'Brien to appear on television before September, and could put Conan in your hometown within a matter of weeks. Click through for the exciting details.

The Wrap, tipped off by a person familiar with the plans, reports that the negotiations have been going on for two weeks now, as William Morris tries to secure dates for the show. If the live show is finalized, Conan could be circulating the country to repay and continue building his newly-energized fan base. The Wrap's source also reveals that the tour would be timed with a "new Internet presence for O'Brien, allowing Team Coco members to interact via an official hub for the once-and-possibly-future late-night host."
