Conan O’Brien delivers zingers at alma mater Harvard graduation address

Comedian Conan O’Brien fired off some zingers while speaking to graduating students at his alma mater Harvard on May 28.

The Bostonian former late night host poked fun at the storied college’s ‘legacy’ students (those who have had a parents graduate from Harvard) before taking a shot at the possible divergent paths graduates could take.

“No university in our nation has produced more Nobel laureates or white collar criminal,” said O’Brien, to laughter, “so whether you choose good or evil, know that you are among the very best.”

O’Brien, who graduated in 1985, was the president of the satirical Harvard Lampoon magazine.
