It's not exactly the Tonight Show, but late-night funny-man Conan O'Brien's return to the stage could happen at a Valley theater.

It's believed that Coco is planning a live theatrical tour, and the only stop getting talked about so far is an April visit to Phoenix's own Dodge Theater.

TMZ.com noticed that Ticketmaster ran a listing recently for an April 30 show at the Dodge, as seen above.

The ad claimed that tickets would go on sale on March 8, but don't get too excited just yet. Conan's camp tells MTV that while a Conan show was in the works, it's too early to confirm any dates.

Since Conan's people put the kybosh on confirming the possible Phoenix show date, we checked the Ticketmaster Web site and it appears the ad for the Phoenix show has been removed.

We called the Dodge to see if there's any truth to the rumor. We'll keep you posted.
