Although Conan refrained from slamming NBC during his last night on the Tonight Show, Coco had no problem spending the network’s $$$!
According to The Roots’ drummer and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon house band leader Questlove, NBC paid $500,000 for Tom Hanks to walk out to The Beatles‘ Lovely Rita (in honor of Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson) on Conan’s Friday night show!!
Tweeted Questlove:
“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… anytime you use the beatles on tv that will cost you dearly.”
Ha!
