Conan O’Brien Plans Move to Big Screen

3/17/2010 by

Conan O’Brien has had a whirlwind of a ride lately, with being shoved around on TV, taking over Twitter… what could be next?

Conan O'Brien Moves to the Big Screen

Early talks are underway to give documentary feature treatment to O’Brien’s 30-city live comedy/music revue, which is called “The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.”

Making a film doesn’t violate the terms of O’Brien’s split from NBC, which gave him a $33 million severance package to vacate the Tonight Show hosting chair and stay off the air until the fall.

O’Brien got the live show started as a way to help his staff of about 40 keep busy and employed. NBC gave up an extra $12 million for the staff.

Considering that the staffers uprooted their families and pulled their kids out of schools in New York, moved them across the country only to see NBC end Conan’s Tonight Show run after seven months, they deserve whatever extra love they can get until O’Brien resurfaces behind a desk for another network.

Must see big screen!
