Live Performances

The 64th annual Tony Awards got off to an exciting start with host Sean Hayes playing piano as his co-star Kristin Chenoweth sang her rendition of I Say A Little Prayer. Also, there were song and dance numbers from Memphis, Come Fly With Me, Everyday Rapture, Million Dollar Quartet, La Cage Aux Folles, Fela! and American Idiot!

The "Idiot" stars performed "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" , then the punk rockin' trio broke out into "Holiday" and joined the cast for "Know Your Enemy". Aside from an electrifying performance, the Broadway sensation won two Tony awards for Best Lighting Design of a Musical and Best Scenic Design of a Musical. Unfortunately, they weren't able to nab the third award for Best Musical as it went to Memphis instead.

Other big winners for the night included Red taking home six Tonys and actors Scarlette Johansson and Denzel Washington also collecting statuettes. A big congratulations to all the winners!

Following Conan O 'Brien's sudden departure from the "Tonight Show", no one would have thought that he would launch a live theatrical tour weaving together some of his old television work with new elements.

Last month, Ticketmaster confirmed that the show was in fact going to happen after TMZ pointed out to "a Ticketmaster page selling tickets to a Conan O 'Brien show at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday, April, 30th". No other dates were listed and the Phoenix page has since been removed from their website. His publicist told MTV News that the show was still in the arranging stages and would be "premature to confirm the Phoenix date".

Recently, the comedian has confirmed dates in 30 cities around the states and Canada starting off April 12 in Eugene, Orgegon. He has also given the live show a rather creative title “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour”, which rips on NBC's contract that prohibits O 'Brien doing television until September. Ticket prices to see the awesome CoCo are kept at a reasonable $39.50!

The former late night star broke the news over twitter and even gave a more accurate description of the show in his own words. “Hey Internet: I’m headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It’s half-assed.”

This is not the first time Conan has gone on a comedy tour! Back in 2004 he did televised performances from Toronto's Elgin Theatre. The show gathered quite a bit of controversy after Triumph the Insult Comic Dog "zinged French speakers", Conan was forced to apologize for Triumph's behavior.  "People of Quebec, I'm sorry. I'm an albino jackass."

What else is going on with Mr. O'Brien? He'll be filming a documentary about the tour with "Leprechaun 2"director, Rodman Flender according to MTV.com! There is still no word of it's release.

Green Day are set to perform their best hits for the evening, something even Carson himself is excited to have apart of the show.“We have built a great tradition of having the best and biggest music acts on our New Year’s Eve live broadcast; having Green Day this year only solidifies that. I’m beyond excited. Green Day will make this year’s show a TV event to remember on NBC.”

Also set to appear is Jay-Z who will debut his futuristic video from The Blueprint 3 ,"On To The Next One", during the show. In a recent statement, Daly gave the rapper props for being the very definition of what the big apple is all about. "The real star of any New Year's Eve show is New York City, and Jay-Z is New York." On top of it all, Rhianna pre-recorded two performances for her hits "Umbrella" and "Run this Town" last week during a snowstorm in NYC's Rockerfeller Plaza.
