If you weren’t able to pick up tickets for Conan O’Brien’s “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” the first time around, you’ve just been given a second chance by way of a contest the former late night host announced on Twitter.

The contest is a promotion for American Express (disclosure: also a Mashable sponsor), asking users to follow the credit card company on Twitter and then tweet “Hey @americanexpress I want to be with Coco in (insert city from list below). Pick me! http://bit.ly/bEUqsh #amexConan.”

The winners –- who will get two tickets for Conan shows in either New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco or Los Angeles — will be selected at random from the tweets sent out between now and 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday.

American Express is sponsoring the tour, but this new twist on its promotion should give the company an opportunity to gain thousands of followers in a hurry, assuming the Twittersphere is still as crazy for Coco as it was when he signed up only a month ago.
