With Conan getting $45 million as he leaves, NBC probably already considers giving O'Brien the "Tonight Show" a very expensive mistake. But now he's doing everything he can to drive up the cost.
Rumor has it Conan will finish his "Tonight Show" tenure this Friday, and like a vindictive ex, he's using every opportunity to spend the network's money. The host bought a Bugatti and played the Rolling Stones (resulting in expensive royalty fees). The bit only lasted a minute, but it cost the network $1.5 million.
"Let me ask you a question," he said, standing in front of a Bugatti Veyron dressed as a mouse. "Is this appropriate music for a car that looks like a mouse? No! Does it add anything at all to this comedy bit? No, it doesn't! Is it crazy expensive to play on the air -- not to mention the rights to re-air this clip on the Internet?" Yep. His last point obviously resonated with the network as they cut the bit from Hulu and NBC.com.
Holy shit.. I think I'm gonna watch and download the rest of his latest shows.

He didn't buy it, it was on loan from a museum.

NBC must be regretting their decisions .
They should keep Conan, he is obviously an epic man that doesn't go down without a fight.
Code: Select all

if you watched his show the following night, he bought an ancient giant sloth skeleton and used it to squirt gallons of caviar all over an original Picasso, all which he purchased with NBC's money and costing $65 million dollars.
He then went on to say that all of this spending was FAKE. guess he fooled all of you
