Conan trolls NBC after they fire him
The infamous fiasco between Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien has lived on in talk show history. Essentially, Leno left The Tonight Show to start his own program. O'Brien took over The Tonight Show, but Leno's show tanked so badly that NBC put Leno back into his old slot. Conan was taken off the show and paid millions just to leave.
On his way out the door, O'Brien figured he should waste some of NBC's money by running skits that weren't so much funny as they were very, very expensive. At one point, O'Brien unveiled a Bugatti, the most expensive car in the world, dressed up as a mouse. A song by the Rolling Stones played in the background, whose licensing fees are notoriously astronomical.
