First the live Conan O’Brien tour becomes official and now this: Deadline Hollywood, who’s not in the habit of getting things wrong, has just reported that Coco is in early talks to produce a documentary film around his 30-city tour.

Mike Fleming writes on the site: “Planning is just getting underway, but I’ve heard that Media Rights Capital has already had conversations about coming aboard as financier. Rodman Flender is in talks to direct.”

We can only hope that if the film comes to fruition, it owns an equally long-winded title as Conan’s tour, dubbed The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.

A well-placed source tells us that last night Conan O’Brien — on the heels of announcing his live concert tour — was also in a meeting with Fox executives putting the finishing touches on a new contract which will see him hosting a late-night chat show for the network.

In January rumors flew online about Conan meeting with Fox but in recent weeks the talk has slowed, no doubt in part, because of the excitement surrounding Conan’s 30-city tour, which has been buzzing around online and was just confirmed as fact yesterday.

“It’s a very compatible fit for our brand,” said Peter Reilly, Fox’s entertainment president, on Jan. 11 “He’s one of the few guys on the planet who has demonstrated he can do one of these shows every night,” adding, “I love Conan personally and professionally.”

According to Conan’s NBC contract, the host would be able to work in front of cameras as soon as this fall.

By now you know, unless you live under a rock, that Conan O’Brien’s rumored live tour is no longer rumor. What’s more is that now we know the tour has a name (The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour), a sponsor — American Express — and most importantly an official tour poster. The proof is below. Check it out. What do you think?

We reported on March 8 that it had become official that Betty White, due to overwhelming online support, would appear on a future episode of Saturday Night Live.

But at the time, no one was giving out details about in what capacity she would appear. Their were rumors that the former Golden Girls star would be part of a “women in comedy” special, and not necessarily as the host.

But now, we can tell you that White will, in fact host the May 8 episode, which is being billed as special Mother’s Day episode, according to People via WNBC. Former female SNL cast members Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch are also scheduled to appear that night.

Suffice it to say, we can’t wait for this!

While we were checking out Ticketmaster this morning — and having seen 22 live dates listed for Conan O’Brien — the man himself tweeted what we’ve all been waiting for: An official announcement confirming that he will, in fact, be bringing his show on the road. Ticketmaster has all the dates listed here.

It seems the tour begins in Canada and ends in Atlanta. You can also get more info at TeamCoco.com. We’ll have more details soon. So keep checking back.

If you’ve been following the news on Punchline Magazine, you’ll know that for the past few days, Ticketmaster has been prematurely posting tour dates sporadically, creating a lot of online confusion. It hasn’t really helped our faith in the ticket giants, but with Coco’s confirmation, this is obviously the real deal this time.

Ever since it was reported on March 5 that the rumored Conan O’Brien concert tour had become official — thanks to Ticketmaster apparently prematurely posting an April 30 date in Phoenix — multiple reports have surfaced about other live show announcements. However, Conan or his people have yet to confirm anything. The closest we’ve got so far is when Conan’s longtime sidekick Andy Richter told Kelly Ripa yesterday on Live! With Regis and Kelly that the tour was a “distinct possibility.”

However, this morning, we noticed that there is a brand new date (April 17) listed for Conan O’Brien on Ticketmaster. We honestly don’t know what to think about it. Is it real? Is Ticketmaster fucking with us again? Who knows? All we know is it’s currently listed (see screen grab below) and it’s apparently happening at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Alberta, Canada. And tickets go on sale today, apparently.

Other outlets have reported that O’Brien is also set to perform at the San Diego Civic Center on April 29; however a quick search of their calendar shows no such event; there is also no listing on Ticketmaster.

UPDATE 11:52 am EST: Ticketmaster has now removed the listing. Dear, Ticketmaster: What the hell are you doing?

UPDATE 1:03 pm EST: After contacting the River Cree Resort and Casino, we were told that the Conan show “has not been announced yet.” Sounds like, to us, there’s a show then.

UPDATE 3:50 pm EST: Now, it looks like Ticketmaster has set up a test page for a live Conan date at a “small venue” in Los Angeles (see screen grab below). Dear, Ticketmaster: There are ways to create test pages without making the pages live and searchable. Why are you effing with our feelings?

Despite what most critics are calling a pile of crap (we’re paraphrasing) it seems Cop Out is doing great things for stand-up comedian and 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan.

We’re guessing it has something to do with it being the number two movie in America right now, despite critical panning.

According to Deadline Hollywood, Morgan has just signed on with Warner Bros to star in a flick called ID Theft, “a comedy that casts him as a cash-strapped father who sees a shortcut out of his struggles when the credit card of a suburban dad lands in his lap.”

As we reported on Jan. 20, NBC had officially decided to bring back Last Comic Standing after a year hiatus. The Office’s Craig Robinson, a solid stand-up comedian, was tapped to host the show more than a month later. And now, we can tell you that the show will premiere June 7 with a special two-hour show. The show’s seventh season will try to find who they consider to be the best comic in the country; in years past, NBC had gone to other select countries as well for talent. The winner of the contest this year will $250,000 and a talent deal with NBC.

And if you’re looking to get in on the LCS action and you’re in the Los Angeles area, they’ll be two showcase shows at the Improv on March 7 and 8, featuring comedians vying for a spot on the show. Robinson will be there to host the festivities. Call 323-651-2583 for reservations.

We reported on Feb. 19 that Conan O’Brien and crew were in the midst of planning a possible live national tour.

Well, it seems like it’s 100 percent a go. TMZ just reported that Ticketmaster confirmed with them that you will, indeed, be able to see Conan live at a theater near you. Or, at least Phoenix to start. There’s a show listed on the ticket site at the Dodge Theater for April 30; tickets go on sale March 8 MST.

We can already feel Team Coco organizing.

Whether or not you’re happy about it, Jay Leno and his incarnation of the Tonight show are gonna be back; and this time, they’re bringing Sarah Palin with them. Yup, you read that right – the disasta from Alaska is one of the many guests who will be featured in the first two weeks of the new and, uh, maybe improved Tonight show, premiering March 1 on NBC. Others include Jamie Foxx, Chelsea Handler, Apolo Ohno, and Morgan Freeman.

Brace yourself, folks; it’s looking to be a crazy upcoming couple of weeks over at Tonight show lala land. What side of the fence are you on? Does the below video make you want to rejoice or gag? Let us know!
