Conan O’Brien’s gone plum wild. Not only is he joking constantly about jobs he might take when his seven-month stint on The Tonight Show is over (he recently suggested creepy shoe salesman at Lady Foot Locker), he’s sticking it to NBC in the form of wildly expensive skits. Between interviews with Adam Sandler and Joel McHale on Wednesday night, he introduced a new character called the Bugatti Veyron Mouse. It was, in fact, the most expensive car in the world dressed up to look like a rodent, complete with ears and whiskers. Adorable! As a soundtrack, he chose the original master recording of the Rolling Stones’ "Satisfaction," bringing the price tag for the comedy bit to a whopping $1.5 million. But was it funny? Sure, if you’re Team Coco. The network, by the way, has suddenly lost its sense of humor and reportedly pulled the Bugatti clip from its own site and Hulu. UPDATE: Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird stopped by on Thursday night in a mink Snuggie to watch some restricted NFL footage. Price tag: $4.8 million. Ca-ching! UPDATE: The Veyron Mouse was loaned to the show by the Petersen Museum.
