Let us welcome Dr. Conan O 'Brien.

Welcome trustees, deans, faculty, alumni, graduates, families, my fellow honorands,

Justice Department spies, and that Uber Eats driver delivering mimosas.

As I look upon this gathering of tomorrow's greatest minds, I'm confident saying there is no less flattering outfit than the cap and gown.

We all look like the potions professor at Hogwarts.

Up here on stage, it feels like an AA meeting for druids.

I want to thank President Garber for his incredible stewardship of this graduating class.

Fantastic job, sir.

Really nice.

Normally, I would give you an A -plus, but in keeping with upcoming Harvard policy, I'm adjusting your grade to a C -minus.

Trust me, it's for the good of the school.

I will keep my remarks brief, because MIT's graduation is also today, and I want to give you a 15 -minute head start on your job hunt.

Those nerds down the river won't know what hit them.

Also, just a quick announcement after the ceremony, tequila shots are on me at the Porcellian Club.

Yeah, yeah.

You're all invited, just force your way inside and tell them Conan sent you.

They're an understanding bunch.

As we gather here today at this beautiful tercentenary theater, I am struck by one thought.

Only someone from Harvard would call this patch of grass, a tercentenary theatre.

Just look at this yard, Percival, tis a veritable tercentenary theatre.

Harvard, why use a $5 word when a $50 word will do?

It's really nice to be back at the very last place I used the word querulous in a sentence.

Standing right over there by Widener, I asked someone, what does querulous mean?

Fortunately, they knew the answer because it was a Yale student.

Man, they're good.

Oh, please!

Please!

Let us not denigrate our fellow Ivies.

Let's admit that all seven are worthy institutions.

Except for Princeton, Listen, those people are absolute tools.

What the hell is going on over there?

As I stand here, I'm flooded with so many rich memories of this campus and especially of my dear, beloved, Mather House.

Yeah, that's enough.

Mather was named after former Harvard president Increase Mather, who was an infamous figure in the Salem witch trials.

And if any of you spent more than an hour in Mather House,

you know the witches got the last laugh it's such an ugly building okay I'm sorry

tear it down start again all right here we go of course we all make jokes about our school

but Harvard is still our nation's oldest and most renowned seat of higher learning

and today you are the 375th graduating class yes

did you know that the first graduating class in 1642 had only nine students yeah

and somehow even they were all legacies that's hard to do

no university in our nation has produced more Nobel laureates or white -collar criminals.

So whether you choose good or evil, know that you are among the very best.

Harvard is indeed an impressive place.

Today, this university honors 13 esteemed colleges, and I salute all of you, each and every one.

Now, of course, don't push it.

Of course, this includes the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, yes, yeah.

And let me tell you something, when Harvard dentists say you may rinse and spit, they say it in Latin.

I wasn't gonna do that joke, but the dental school People said they'd give me free veneers if I gave them a shout out.

No I take my assignment today seriously

and in preparation for this speech I asked the provost office for intel on all your concerns.

And I was told the following.

You're obsessed with doing laundry now that it's free.

You bemoan the lack of fresh berries.

You're upset that not all the dining halls have hot breakfast.

yeah and you are alarmed you're alarmed

that the Kennedy School has stopped providing complimentary coffee yeah

if these are indeed your concerns you sicken me

but half those complaints are things you'd hear from a brown bear more berries

Before I continue, there is one thing I must acknowledge.

For your entire academic lives, you have been lectured to by lots and lots of old white men.

And now, when you are minutes from getting out the door, Harvard is saying, not so fast.

We found one more.

He graduated 41 years ago, and he's not just white, but shockingly white.

Indirect sunlight, you can see his bones.

Well, I may be old and white, but let me assure you, I still fit in seamlessly with the long list of Nobel laureates,

heads of state, and civil rights activists who have given this commencement address.

Now, sure, they did great things, but only I play a talking,

potty -training gadget named Smarty Pants in the upcoming Toy Story 5 in theaters everywhere on June 19th.

Did Winston Churchill do that?

He did not.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel?

Well, she did audition but testing showed she frightened children.

Yes I graduated 40 years ago but I promise you your lives here were no different than mine was in 1981.

Like you I too had to put an extra long cord on my dorm phone

so I could cook my lean cuisine while talking to my friends about Mr. T.

Like you I know the pain of losing my place on the Ms. Pac -Man leaderboard

because I was too busy buying an erase cartridge for my

smith corona typewriter yes we are all bound by these ancient

common truths now of course i understand the unprecedented difficulties you

face today including ai yeah i know i know luckily ai

is not a problem at harvard here professors have been able

to quickly flag students use of ai thanks to the sophisticated

ai software they use to grade papers it all works out yeah

and don't worry despite your fears trust me

when i say ai cannot replace you yes yes yes it'll

be too busy replacing those creeps from princeton anyway of course perhaps the biggest issue facing this institution is

that the federal government of the united states is suing our university yeah

many people think i've come today to defend harvard well sorry those people are wrong

not only am i not against these lawsuits i'm here to announce that i'm joining them

i too am suing harvard i'm suing harvard for the cast iron bunk bed

that greeted me upon my arrival at Hallworthy 16 my freshman year a bed

that has since been confiscated by The Hague as an instrument of divine cruelty.

I'm suing Harvard for allowing me to sign up for a 9 a .m class at the Science Center

and a 10 a .m.

class down at Soldiers Field.

For God's sakes I was a child.

I'm suing Harvard for my

100

less than spectacular undergraduate sex life for me having a

101

three -way man adding a second mirror to my dorm i'm suing harvard

102

because once i had to listen to the harvard crocodillos do

103

an eight -minute rendition of splish splash i was taking a bath my god each one took a solo

104

and And it was awful.

105

And finally, I'm suing Harvard because, and this is absolutely true, in the spring of my sophomore year, while trying to grab a quick lunch at Adam's house,

106

I was served a meal, I was served a meal called Captain Ben's fish spaghetti.

107

To this day, I have no idea who Captain Ben is or why someone would combine government issue cod with spaghetti me.

108

Harvard, I'll see your ass in court.

109

Yes, I'm confident that my claims will have more merit than those filed by the President of the United States.

110

Yes.

111

As you are aware, the current administration feels Harvard admits too many foreign students, and who knows, they may have a point.

112

After all, what has any foreigner ever added to our American culture?

113

With the possible exception of music, literature, art, cuisine, fashion, architecture,

114

dance, scientific breakthroughs, and the core of our moral codes and ethical beliefs.

115

Seriously.

116

Seriously, if foreigners hadn't gummed up the works, right now we'd all be listening to delightful Calvinist reggae,

117

eating savory Church of England ziti, and dancing the forbidden bedridden and sexually charged Lutheran Lombada.

118

But let me assure you, I did not come here simply to toss off some jokes about my alma mater.

119

I mean, that was the main reason.

120

But I really do, really do love this school.

121

It changed my life.

122

The day I told my bedridden grandmother, a woman who had never had the opportunity to go to college, that I had been accepted to Harvard,

123

and seeing her weep is one of the happiest days of my life.

124

Of course, it turned out I was sitting on her leg, but I knew in addition to the pain, she felt real joy.

125

And I felt joy as well, especially when I sat here at my commencement in 1985.

126

I understand, I really understand how much hard work it took for all of you to get to this point

127

and you should feel enormous pride just as I did

128

on my commencement day I was content if my Harvard degree was the first thing people knew about me

129

but what I have found after all these years is that I am fine with Harvard being the last thing

130

anyone knows about me this is not a diss on this institution in any way i just believe that status

131

even when it's hard one can be double -edged

132

when i started my career hosting a late night talk show

133

there was no internet the only thing the media knew about conan o 'brien

134

was that he went to harvard that association may have been fine if i were a burgeoning

135

philosopher or physicist but for a comedian

136

that was a death knell people thought the name of my

137

show would be late night with he thinks he's better than you

138

which I would have gone with

139

but it didn't fit on the shirt all these years later

140

Harvard is far far from the very first thing people think of when they hear my name.

141

I have made 10 ,000 hours of content and none of it screams Ivy League education.

142

That's right, I'm the man who went on Hot Ones and rubbed hot sauce on my nipples.

143

I shopped for weed with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube.

144

I got drunk in an American Girl doll store.

145

I've done many things no man should do And all of this was before I became a Pixar potty training toy.

146

Now, some of you may think, well, that's comedy, Conan.

147

How does that apply to me?

148

And to you, I say, how dare you interrupt?

149

I'm giving a commencement address.

150

Yes, my challenges were unique to me.

151

But I found that any single achievement,

152

like a Harvard diploma, becomes less important to me in all the very best ways when I embrace certain principles.

153

The first is that I endeavor to always remind myself that I have done absolutely nothing alone own.

154

Walt Whitman wrote, I contain multitudes.

155

Well, I contain a breakfast sandwich and an iced coffee from Tate,

156

but whatever I have achieved has been with the help of an infinitely packed clown car of multitudes.

157

If I could invite everybody, alive or dead, who has contributed to my being your commencement speaker today,

158

all of Cambridge and half of Alston would be crammed shoulder -to -shoulder with friends, family, well -wishers, writers, producers,

159

haters, fans, and a billion chance encounters.

160

Recognizing that my accomplishments are not just my own has given me much -needed balance throughout my life

161

and it really helps to spread the blame around when things go south.

162

Another thing I learned to do that has saved me repeatedly is to pivot.

163

I have I have had to course correct

164

so many times in my career that my path is a crazed tangles of zigs and zags.

165

I famously lost a job that meant the world to me, and then years later, I saw the entire format of late -night television,

166

something that I had dedicated my career to, start to evaporate.

167

So at the suggestion of a very smart friend, I started a podcast.

168

I actually had disdain for the project until, with the help of guests, collaborators, and an assistant addicted to gummies,

169

I made something I love just as much, if not more, than my late night show.

170

I have had to pivot like this so many times that I've come to really love pivoting.

171

And I use the word pivot much more than I should in conversation and commencement speeches.

172

And now I pivot to my next truth.

173

I always recognize the enormous role of luck in my life.

174

Refusing to see how luck has played a role in anyone's success is simply ignorant.

175

Many people are happy to mistake a lucky poker hand for their own brilliance, and fighting that human instinct has kept me sane.

176

I honestly believe that community, spontaneity, and a real commitment to humility has helped me build a rich life

177

that means much more to me than any diploma.

178

And believe me, I'm not saying the goal is to renounce accomplishments, but rather to metabolize them.

179

If you carry your victories lightly, other qualities, kindness, originality, courage,

180

humor, and humanity have room to emerge.

181

Maybe, maybe, maybe the greatest lessons I've learned along these lines have been through my 24 travel shows.

182

I have degraded myself in Cuba, Ghana, Korea, Armenia, half of Europe,

183

Argentina, Thailand, Mexico, and Greenland where I visited a real estate office and tried to buy the country.

184

When I travel to another land, every quality I have discussed,

185

community, adaptation, and a sincerely humble approach are all necessary.

186

When you don't speak the language, no one truly cares where you went to college and you have no choice but to make friends.

187

It's on these travels that I learned a great lesson, let yourself be bad at things.

188

I have been a bad dancer in every country I have visited,

189

but the people laugh because it turns out everyone everywhere is related to at least one terrible dancer.

190

For me, humility on these trips can easily lead to humiliation, which is also a useful tool.

191

Three weeks ago, I visited Amsterdam, dressed up as Van Gogh, and forced my way into the Van Gogh Museum,

192

where I started loudly demanding a cut of the merchandising because I made no money during my lifetime.

193

Guards forcibly ejected me.

194

I was roundly mocked by patrons from my pathetic display

195

but i did see a lot of smiles and not one person said now that's a harvard grad

196

in tokyo i met with a teacher of japanese etiquette who volunteered I wasn't her type.

197

And when I asked her why, she just said, face.

198

In Ghana, after accepting a royal invitation, I was kicked out of the Ashanti palace by the Queen Mother because her favorite soap opera was starting.

199

I understand that I am preaching modesty and connection at a time when this is not in style.

200

We are living through a period of extreme narcissism.

201

Our current leadership in Washington believes that empathy is a weakness and that our nation stands supreme and alone.

202

Add to that, everyone here today has a phone in their pocket

203

that is algorithmically programmed to celebrate you and you alone by making you the protein -maxing hero of your own special journey.

204

Much has been written about how isolated and siloed we've become, but for me, the antidote is quite simple.

205

By de -emphasizing what makes us special, in your case, a prize degree, we can really find one another, not as an exercise in virtue,

206

but as a path towards greater laughter, love, and real growth.

207

And believe me, I struggle daily with my own pretensions.

208

I am aware

209

that I am telling you to transcend your glories as I

210

stand on this stage accepting a doctorate I didn't really earn while dressed like a 12th century pope.

211

big surprise i have a giant ego i mean come on

212

the titles of my shows have been a late night with

213

conan o 'brien the tonight show with conan o 'brien conan word i think of

214

that one conan o 'brien needs a friend

215

and conan o 'brien must go i fought like hell to

216

have today's ceremony named conan o 'brien presents the harvard commencement starring conan o 'brien yeah Let's get that done.

217

So when I realized that my message today would be about the rejection of honor and status, did I consider for a second turning this doctorate down?

218

Did I say, no, President Garber, my achievements are not my own.

219

I must decline.

220

Hell no!

221

Not for a second.

222

My grandfather, who everyone called Hoofer and who had to drop out of the seventh grade to support his parents, was a traffic cop in Worcester, Massachusetts.

223

Yeah, and he had a saying, take what you can get and ask for more.

224

Very wise man.

225

Hoofer is an essential passenger in my clown car of multitudes.

226

And in his honor, I will grab this doctorate and then ask President Garber if there's also a cash component.

227

You see, I, like you, am still very much a work in progress,

228

but the ideals I stress today have made my life infinitely richer and happier.

229

So maybe my wish for you is not that Harvard becomes the last thing people know about you,

230

but instead that Harvard becomes the least important thing people know about you.

231

Because your real education starts now, with friends you've made and friends you've yet to meet,

232

with stunning successes and miserable defeats, and with a humble acceptance that your greatness comes from the mess around you, not despite it.

233

From the depths of my heart, I congratulate you, Class of 2026, not for any piece of paper you receive today,

234

but because of your hard work, determination, humanity, and the boundless community that you have

235

and will create let us all resolve on this great day to go forward together

236

and see Toy Story 5 in theaters everywhere June 19th thank you

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
