On Wednesday, Conan O’Brien stuck it to NBC with an epic, $1.5 million dollar comedy bit. He had to top that somehow. Tonight, he unveiled yet another outrageously expensive character, Kentucky Derby Winner Mine That Bird Wearing A Mink Snuggie Watching Restricted NFL Super Bowl Highlights. The total cost, per The Tonight Show? A staggering $4.8 million dollars. They showed it twice too, no doubt mindful of how the Bugatti Veyron Mouse was cut from the show when it was put up on Hulu for streaming. Hopefully, this YouTube video won’t get yanked too quickly, so everyone can get to see it.
Now, the only big question remaining is this. What will Conan do on his last show to top this? If you haven’t been watching, then you’re really missing out because Conan is really letting fly with the comedy in his last week as face of NBC’s most successful franchise. It’s been must-see TV for me, and I’ve also watched all the back episodes I could online.
