During his final Tonight Show week, Conan O;Brien made a point to "waste" NBC;s money with a series of gags designed to be expensive as possible for no reason. The gags - such as Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird wearing a mink Snuggie and watching restricted Super Bowl footage - were amusing, but, as Conan pointed out to quell online rumblings of "I can;t believe you wasted money like that!!!", they were fake.However, in Conan;s final episode, the band welcomed Tom Hanks to the stage by playing The Beatles; "Lovely Rita" - a subtle homage to Hanks; wife Rita Wilson, as us nerds made a point to yell out to everyone in the room to make sure they knew we knew this - a song which, according to NBC band peer Questlove of The Roots, costs $500,000 to cover on-air.It probably costs NBC even more to continue hosting the Beatles cover on Hulu, but whattdya know, here it is:It;s no "$25 million" for a giant sloth fossil vomiting Beluga caviar onto an original Picasso, but still, $500,000 for watch
