Today, devoted fans of Conan O'Brien finally got the message they've been waiting weeks for:

"Hey Internet: I'm headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It's half-assed."

That's right, Conan O'Brien made the announcement this morning via Twitter that he is going on tour, because, as he put it, it was either go on tour or "start helping out around the house."

The 2-month, 30-city tour kicks off on April 12th in Eugene, OR and "promises to be a night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence," according to Teamcoco.com, which is already overloaded with web traffic.

The tour, entitled "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television" in honor of the clause in his contract with NBC that keeps him off TV until September, will also include sidekick Andy Richter and the former "Tonight Show" band.
