TheLegally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour (also known as theProhibited Tour) was a comedy tour by American comedian and talk show hostConan O'Brien. Its title is a reference to the2010Tonight Show host and timeslot conflict, which resulted in O'Brien resigning from his position as host ofThe Tonight Show in January 2010. O'Brien reached a settlement withNBC that barred him from appearing on television until September 2010, but it did not bar him from performing before a live audience in a concert setting. From April through June 2010, O'Brien performed 42 shows in theUnited States andCanada. O'Brien announced on March 11, 2010 via hisTwitter account that he would embark on a 30-city live tour beginning April 12. Even with the unconventional marketing campaign of a single Twitter announcement, many locations sold out within hours of the tweet and additional shows were added on to meet demand. During the tour, O'Brien announced that his new show,Conan, would debut onTBS in November 2010. A documentary following O'Brien during the tour,Conan O'Brien Can't Stop, was released in June 2011.

Selected biography

George Formby with the army in France, 1940

George Formby (1904–1961) was an English actor, singer-songwriter and comedian. On stage, screen and record he sang light,comical songs, usually playing theukulele orbanjolele, and became the UK's highest-paid entertainer. After an early career as a stable boy and jockey, Formby took to themusic hall stage after the early death ofhis father in 1921. In 1923 he purchased a ukulele, and marriedBeryl Ingham, a fellow-performer who became his manager. She insisted that he appear on stage formally dressed, and introduced the ukulele to his performance. He started his recording career in 1926 and, from 1934, he increasingly worked in film to develop into a major star. During the Second World War, Formby entertained civilians and troops(pictured in France), and by 1946 it was estimated that he had performed in front of three million service personnel. After the war his career declined, although he touredthe Commonwealth, and continued to appear invariety andpantomime. Formby was considered Britain's first properly home-grown screen comedian. He was an influence on future comedians—particularlyCharlie Drake andNorman Wisdom—and, culturally, on entertainers such asthe Beatles.
