If you are one of the lucky few who scored a ticket to Conan O'Brien's "Legally Prohibited" tour, you got your money's worth and then some. That's saying a lot in this day and age when the U.S. dollar's worth is floating just above those place mats that go on trays at Burger King. Yes, for $75 and whatever organs you had to sell on eBay to score a ticket, you get an awesome three hour show. And for another $65, you can get a snug baseball T-shirt and a coffee mug to go into that pile of useless concert junk like the "Flock of Seagulls" sweatshirt and the "Quiet Riot" refrigerator magnet that haven't seen the light of day since 1987.
The most valuable memento won't be anything you can hold in your hand. This tour is as much about the fans as it is about making an honest buck and maintaining relevance in the face of a corporate copyright clause.

Conan O'Brien's 'Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television' Tour might be a once-in-a-lifetime event, but that doesn't mean it isn't bound by the laws of concert tours.
Those are the unspoken laws of live entertainment physics that affect every staged entertainment venue across the globe. And just like actual physics, they are cruel mistresses with no pity for people who dare to challenge them or go outside their boundaries of motion, inertia and box office receipts.

As Conan O'Brien prepares to take the stage tonight to kick off his live comedy tour, word has come that negotiations between the erstwhile late-night host and Fox are progressing nicely, leading to broadening speculation that O'Brien could find himself back on the air within the year. There's just one hangup: Many Fox affiliates don't want him.That, according to the Hollywood Reporter, is now the biggest obstacle remaining in a proposed deal between O'Brien and Fox. At issue is the fact that most affiliates will be required to pay a higher retransmission fee to the network, since they will be gaining additional content -- content that may not be as profitable as the low-cost syndicated shows and reruns most affiliates currently air in the proposed 11PM time slot.
