Conan’s going scorched earth against NBC, burning all that green.
Last night, I was out actually being social, so I missed the live broadcast of The Tonight Show. Of course, I had to watch it, so like EVERY CONAN FAN OVER THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS, I watched on the internet. Get that, NBC? Here’s Conan’s audience, dumbfucks. We exist. Check your online stats on The Google.
In any case, I watched the episode, which was hilarious enough, what with the return of the Masturbating Bear and all. This was enough to thrill me, as The Greatest Character In TV History had been banned from following Conan to 11:35, and it thrusted its dick right at NBC.
But there was a sudden stop in the broadcast, followed by an awkwardly timed All State commercial. I didn’t think much of it, until I found out why:
Any money Conan can’t get out of NBC in contract negotiations, he’s gonna burn in other ways.
Introducing the most expensive characters he can think of in the next three days, our intrepid host/leader brought out the Bugatti Veyron Mouse, which is the world’s most expensive car, dressed up as a mouse. And its theme music? The original master recording of Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones. Here’s what he said:
“Let me ask you a question — 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 replay it on the internet? Hell yes!”
Total price tag: $1.5 million
And he’s right. NBC totally scrubbed this out of the online episode. Which is funny, since they seem to think online views are inconsequential.
I think we all got a fuckload of satisfaction out of this one.
XD
EPIC WIN!
FUCK LENO!
