Conan’s Satisfaction: Blowing $1.5 Million of NBC’s Money

» 4 comments

As Conan and NBC were sealing their final agreement of separation in some sad, awkward signing ceremony in an L.A. conference room, this clip was airing on NBC: Conan proudly announcing that he’d spent $1.5 million on a Bugatti Veyron Mouse and put whiskers and ears on it — “There it is ladies and gentlemen – the most expensive car in the world dressed up like a mouse” — and soundtracked it with the Rolling Stones classic, “Satisfaction,” complete with ridiculously expensive licensing fees. Hey man, art isn’t easy. Neither, apparently, is revenge.

    I really don’t give a fig about this feud, but if pressed I would have said that I sort of favored Conan.

    Not now. It’s like someone put ears and a tail on the Sistine Chapel.

    I’m weeping…

    Why didn’t he do something good with the money? Like, I dunno, give aid to some country in need at this time?

    Here’s another question.Who now owns the car?If it’s NBC they don’t get that hurt by this.

    Anyway I’m betting by around May or June nobody gives a rats ass about any of this and most of The Tonight Show’s ratings will have recovered.All things TV have a short memory.
