Jay Leno Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Driving

While Jay Leno is known to be the resident gearhead of late night talk TV, owning about 100 cars out of a total of 200 vehicles and moonlighting as a car-reviewer for The Sunday Times, it might end up being Conan O’Brien who’ll be most remembered for his automotive antics. During the recent feud between the two hosts and NBC over scheduling and ratings, which led to the canceling of the Late Night With Conan O’Brien Show and the Leno’s scheduled return to the coveted 11:30 time-slot, O’Brien decided to take revenge on NBC by producing ridiculously expensive bits. One of these bits featured Conan dressing up a purchased Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport as a mouse and using a very famous Rolling Stones tune  as its theme music. Music which, of course, had to be licensed for a lot of money. Not to be left out of the fun is Leno, who decided it was a good time to add a brand new Bugatti to his Big Dog Garage’s Bugatti wing. Below is a link to a video of Leno with his brand new $2.25 million Veyron featuring Bugatti’s North American Marketing Manager John Hill and former F1 driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel as well as clip of Conan’s Veyron Mouse bit.
