+LiGht YaGami I'm sorry, but that's just simply not true. I didn't ever say people hate him, I said people don't find him likable. that's why he doesn't get older viewers. he used to make a lot of jokes about it on the tonight show with how little kids are afraid of him and older people think he looks like a creep. those jokes came from responses to focus group testing. I'm sorry you don't want to believe it for some unapparent reason, but there's a reason his viewership declined so much. and comparing it to Justin bieber is called a fallacy of false analogy, and you should try not to use it in presenting arguments. since fans of pop music listen to whatever is publicized and talked about, but people make TV choices based on seemingly random preferences and whims. instead look for evidence to back up your claims. and evidence that's pertinent to the conversation, not critic reviews when we both already agree that he's the funniest and should therefore have the best reviews. my whole point was that people don't watch him as much because they don't find him likable. that's an easily Googleable fact. haha.

Ryndan Riley i completely understand ur point, but do u not think this was when he was the host of late night show rather than now. When he took over the late night, a lot of viewers disliked him, and after decade of being the host, he improved and just overall grew on people, still some people didnt like him (older people, middle age, etc), but he really became a fan favorite after what happen with him and jay leno, and now everyone who know conan at least see him in a positive light (some are dying hard fan, some thinks hes alright, but rarely see people disliking him or even hating him) unlike jimmy fallon for example

@ryndanriley5348

8 жыл бұрын

+ExtremeTG yeah I think so. the social commentary definitely changed when he got screwed by nbc. people still don't watch him as much as any other host though, which seems to point to those people still not being into him, for whatever reason. being on TBS can't fully explain it because other cable hosts still pull in more viewers. I haven't heard any focus group results since then though, so maybe it's changed. anything we can say outside of things like that is really just speculation.

20:53 "It is our failure to become our perceived ideal, that ultimately defines us and makes us unique.

I am not really hung up in celebrities. But I genuinely would look forward to meeting this brilliant and hilarious man in person! Every few years, I come back to this memorable commencement address!

2023 and still loving this. Thank you, if it werent for you, id be dead back in 2017. Thank you.

This man is the reason behind the golden years of the Simpsons

There's only one word to comment on this speech, "genuine."

I watched this video 3 times already

“It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimate defines us and makes us unique. It is not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound reinvention”

I’ve watched this several times but just noticed the secret service in the background laughing. 😅

"it looks like something a bear would use at an AA meeting" is easily one of my favorite quotes now

This is a really amazing speech. Great human being. "Work hard, be kind and amazing things will happen."

Also check out Jim Carrey's 2014 address to Maharishi University of Management. This was great, but I got even more out of JC's speech.

my bachelor's degree convocation is tomorrow and I needed to hear this again. Team COCO all the way!

Congratulations and good luck!

"with true disappointment comes clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality"

Excellent excellent speech. Well I don't think work hard, but I believe in working smart.

I think Mike Rowe said something about that phrase. I agree with him when it says it's an absurd phrase that degrades the success of people who choose to work in manual or skilled labor - welders, mechanics, plumbers, electricians - or pretty much anything outside of requiring a higher education.

Wanderlust Nova Everything you can work smart. Mindful and deliberate working for 2 hours is better than mindless working for 8 hours. If your work is causing you to be stressed then you've been doing it wrong.

Thank you Conan, this is beautiful speech

Conan doesn't get serious very often, but when he does it's so impactful.

there are few things more liberating in this life than having your worst fears realized

Fantastic. Never had more genuine respect or admiration for Mr. O'Brien. Well done.
