As probably everyone knows by now, Conan O'Brien has decided to leave NBC rather than be kicked off The Tonight Show in favor of Jay Leno, whose crappy 10:00 pm talk show damn near destroyed NBC. O'Brien had waited six years to become the 11:30 host and had passed up a couple of other opportunities, so one can understand why he is, to say the least, somewhat less than pleased with the Peacock Network.
And so, in his last three days at NBC, he has decided to stick to The Man. This means comedy bits that are as expensive as possible as a way of wasting whatever monies NBC hadn't already blown on Jay Leno's talk show, O'Brien's severance package, and Jay Leno's triumphant return to The Tonight Show after the Olympics next month. I have zero idea what he's going to do tonight, but here's what he's done so far:
Wednesday: borrowed a Bugatti Veyron, the most expensive sports car in the world, from an auto museum and dressed it up like a mouse, while the original master recording of "Satisfaction" roared in the background:
Thursday: decked a horse that he claimed was 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird (it wasn't) in a mink snuggie and had it watch exclusive Super Bowl footage:
I assume that tonight he'll do something really ridiculous, like borrow the Marine Band for the evening and have it play a medley of "Hail to the Chief," "The Chicken Dance," "I'm Slim Shady," and the opening bars of "Rhapsody in Blue".....
Talk about burning your bridges!
