[Conan, speaking to students] If you indulge me for a second, I’d like to read a review from just this year. Somehow, Conan O’Brien has transformed himself into the brightest star in the Late Night firmament. His comedy is the gold standard and Conan himself is not only the quickest and most inventive wit of his generation, but quite possibly the greatest host ever. Ladies and gentlemen, class of 2000, I wrote that this morning. As proof, that when all else fails, you always have delusion.

— Conan O’Brien, speech to the Harvard Class of 2000
