I think the joke would work with Radon though.

IIRC, Radon hasn't been proven to be a noble gas. Xenon is downright promiscuous compared to the other noble gases, and some chemists think that trend continues into radon.

And when you trap a xenon inside a C60 cage and start stuffing other things in there, the chemistry gets really weird.
