So you know one of the gimmicks in Conan's last shows was doing "expensive" comedy bits, but obviously they didn't actually buy the car or the Kentucky Derby winner or a Picasso. Apparently he really did hose over NBC on a music bit and it wasn't even the Rolling Stones one.
Quote:
Tom Hanks was a final guest on Conan's last "Tonight Show," and if one trusty tweet is to be believed, Conan blew $500,000 on Hanks' walk-out song. When Hanks entered from behind a curtain to go to his seat, the band played The Beatles "Lovely Rita," which costs NBC half a million dollars. Questlove, who is the drummer for The Roots on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," almost instantly tweeted,
yo i hate spoiling but i will have you know that walk on song we just heard was half a milli. i know cause i got the list rate at nbc
and
tom's walkon music on conan is on my "restricted" list---wow a $500,000 walkon song lol.
The song was in honor of Hanks' wife Rita Wilson.
