Q: Why did the Bugatti Veyron cross the road?
A: To star on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.
Not funny? There’s more to the punch line. Conan O’Brien who is winding down his stint as the Tonight Show host on NBC is having a little fun at NBC’s expense, literally. The comedian admitted in the skit that featured a Bugatti Veyron dressed as a mouse that it wasn’t funny, merely expensive. He also stated that playing the original master recording of the Rolling Stones song “Satisfaction,” offered nothing humorous to the bit either, only dollar signs. The part that’s funny to Conan, his audience, but not to the NBC execs who watched? That according to CoCo, NBC has to foot the bill for what he dubs the most expensive comedy skit in the world.
OK, that’s funny. Way to go Conan!
