EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Comedian Conan O’Brien opens his two-month “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” Monday night in Eugene.

The former “Tonight” host is barred from appearing on TV until September by terms of his $32 million exit from NBC.

While O’Brien has long performed monologues and sketches on TV, he’s trying out a new role as standup. A number of O’Brien’s 30 stops are in college towns.

He declined all interviews, but last week posted this on Twitter: “Eugene Oregon Brace yourself for a towering tsunami of dry, self-deprecating humor.”
