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.
