Conan O'Brien scored a huge settlement from NBC Thursday, but that didn't stop him from gorging on corporate cash for one unmistakably silly sketch on last night's show. His new character? The Bugatti Veyron Mouse, which he spent $1.5 million to construct and present on the show. "There it is, the most expensive car in the world. Dressed as a mouse." He chose 'Satisfaction' by the Rolling Stones as the car's theme."Is this appropriate music for a car that looks like a mouse? NO! Does it add anything to this comedy bit? NO it doesn't. Is it crazy expense to play on the air, not to mention the rights to re-air this clip on the Internet? Hell, yes! Total price tag for this comedy bit: $1.5 million. Sorry, NBC!"

It's NBCs money not taxpayers money and somebody else is getting paid, that means he is actually helping the economy. think before you criticize dum dum!
Your problem is you have no sense of humor, you gotta lighten up
Get real. Do you seriously believe he spent 1.5 M. on the skit. They probably rented the car for the day and slapped the ears on it. Total cost, maybe a thousand dollars.

We are talking cost of advertising royalties for displaying the vehicle as well for the lifetime of airings and internet use, thats a lot of money.
And, Playing the rolling stones on the air, royalties, very expensive royalties for that song.
must be nice for this clown to spend 1.5 million on a car, i wonder if these celebrities are using any money of their own to support their stupid telephon or are they asking poor people to help a poor nation like haiti.

CONAN SUCKS, HAS ALWAYS SUCKED, WILL CONTINUE TO SUCK AT WHATEVER HE DOES. HOPE FOX TAKES HIS SORRY ASS AND LOSES A BUNDLE IN THE PROCESS.

Actually, If you would watch the show, he brings up Ben Stillers Haitian releif daily as his only serious segment.

while i do like Conan, his childish antics in the last few days have just confirmed why he couldn't hold the viewers at 11:30. Wasting that money last night (and HE DID) was so ridiculous and he should be embarrassed. He needs to donate that amount to Haiti to make himself right.

Conan and his side kick Andy are acting like spoiled brats! I can't stand Conan, never have. He's not funny. Whats pathetic is Conan really thinks he is something great. Give him a capital "L".
