When I read the headline that Conan O’Brien is returning to New York over at Entertainment Weekly, I let out a strangled scream of pure delight, since I thought they meant permanently. I would never, ever trick you like. O’Brien will be performing four shows at New York’s Beacon Theater starting Oct. 31 to celebrate the one year anniversary of his TBS show and in 2012, Conan will visit Chicago. Temporarily, of course.
