The Cone Zone is fulfilling his Manifest Destiny and heading West for a week of shows. Starting April 30th, Late Night with Conan O'Brien will broadcast five nights of shows from San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre. Judging from Conan's past outings to Chicago and Toronto, it should be a great week for late night television. Of course, there was that Toronto slip-up in which Triumph insulted the national pride of our great neighbor to the North. (What did they expect? He's an "insult comic dog.")While these week-long tapings are fun for viewers, I'm partial to Conan's travels to truly foreign shores - Conan's adventures in Finland, his staffer's remote from a call center in India, etc. After San Francisco, I think it's time for another overseas outing. I'm thinking Thailand, Poland or another trip to Ireland. Or, maybe, that's my desired travel itinerary. Regardless, taking the late night host out of his element every now and again is never a bad idea.
Viewers can request tickets for the San Francisco tapings at Conan's website.

Conan's travels and the segments when he ventures outside the studio is some of the best stuff on the show. His pandering to the audience during the usual monologue usually annoys me, but he is in top form when he takes to the streets of whichever city (or country) he visits.

San Francisco is, I think, not as inherently filled with humor as Chicago or Toronto. However, I am looking forward to Triumph mercilessly mocking the blocks and blocks of homosexuals and video game designers.

not if it is your dream to go see him (especially in your own home town) time to go meet the insult dog himself!
