* BudgetBustingElement: Creator/ConanOBrien invoked this during his last weeks hosting ''Series/TheTonightShow'' in an effort to spite Creator/{{NBC}} for their controversial treatment of his hosting era, making a point to introduce one-shot characters who weren't really that funny, but ''would'' cost NBC boatloads of money to put on the air. The biggest example was the "Bugatti Veyron Mouse," a very expensive car decorated like a mouse, accompanied by the original recording of Music/TheRollingStones' "Satisfaction," which O'Brien claimed would cost NBC $1.5 million. (though [[https://abcnews.go.com/Business/conan-obrien-nbc-confirms-deal-speeds-nbc-show/story?id=9621682 it may not be that high,]] as the car was likely on loan or at least a less expensive model than presented).

However, as of the end of 2020, most of the clips have been from ''Late Night''; very few from ''The Tonight Show'' have been uploaded.
