Mine That Bird: Conan O’Brien’s Payback – Looks like Conan O’Brien wants to leave the “Tonight” show with a bang! The Thursday episode featured 2009 Kentucky Derby Winner Mine That Bird supposedly worth a whooping $4.8 Million.

Conan claimed that on his final two days on the Tonight Show, “We’re going to be having a lot of fun on television.”

He said the Tonight Show had a lot of surprises planned, that he thought would blow viewers’ minds.

Conan introduced Mine That Bird, dolled up in a mink snuggie. Just to add a little bit more to the cost, Conan had Mine That Bird watching restrictive NFL footage. All for what Conan claims is a $4.8 million cost to NBC.

Just yesterday night Conan featured a $1.5 million bit/character, the ‘Bugatti Veyron Mouse’. To add to the cost Conan had the Bugatti sports car play a master recording of The Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction.”

Other guests featured on the Thursday show were Robin Williams, Barry Manilow, Ben Stiller and Pee Wee Herman.

    Let's hope that Conan stops feeling sorry for himself, comes to his senses and uses his fortune to help people with real problems – like the people in Haiti!

    I don't think they actually bought Mine that Bird. The horse in the video they show is a chestnut, meaning he has a brown mane, tail and legs (they are the same color as his body). Mine that Bird is a bay, meaning that he has a black mane, tail and legs. Also, the star on MTBs forehead is much smaller that the star on horse in the video. I don't think Conan actually spend all that money… it's just the thought of him doing that that makes it funny
