That's one way to do it
An AP article says that Conan O’Brien will take his show on the road for a 30-city tour. Sounds logical to us.
It might be gruelling and expensive, but it will keep the late-night TV host in the public’s mind (ink will flow like Niagra Falls) and it will cement that bond between O’Brien and his audience while he’s on his forced hiatus. Sure, he’ll only be seen by a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of his television audience (small though it was), but the ripple effect from local television and newspaper coverage will come in handy when a new network is inevitably announced and a new return date is established.

I find Conan to be incredibly annoying – every time I see him do that “puppet dance” I want to shoot out the TV. Plus, he can’t tell a joke without punctuating the set-up with a “yeah.”
The BEST late night host — hands down — is Craig Ferguson. His monologues are pure genius and seem to be totally improvised.
Well, there you have it. End of discussion.
