Apologies to Mike Mitchell
Whoa, this one caught us by surprise: Conan O'Brien is touring and he's bringing his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour to Chicago, which is described as "a night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence." He'll be hitting up the Chicago Theater on Wednesday May 19 for an evening of fun and many, many laughs. The Chicago Theater was, of course, where he brought his Late Night show for a week in 2006. As usual for a big event like this, there are a number of packages, including a $695 "Meet & Greet" option. But main tickets for the event are $39.50-$59.50-$79.50 so get clicking. They just went on sale and they're sure to go fast. We talked about wanting CoCo so, in a way, we're getting him.

More info about the tour (no Max?) is available here.

Thanks to Michael for the tip [via]!

UPDATE: May 20th has been added!
