Conan O'Brien Takes His Show on the Road

NEW YORK - Florida in the winter is a natural road trip. Not to Conan O'Brien: He's heading north this week, the second time NBC's "Late Night" has ventured out of New York during his 10 years as host.

"When I heard Toronto in February, my immediate thought was, `That's just so our show,'" O'Brien said.

What began as an effort to boost the city's tourism industry, still recovering from last year's SARS (news - web sites) outbreak, has become a celebration of Canada's contribution to the entertainment industry.

Michael J. Fox (news), Mike Myers (news), Jim Carrey (news), "Will & Grace" star Eric McCormack (news) and the bands Nickelback and Barenaked Ladies (news - web sites) are among the Canadian acts that will appear on four nights of shows taped at Toronto's Elgin Theater.
