In 2010 "Tonight Show" Conan O'Brien was in a big conflict matter with the former talk show host Jay Leno over who is run the show. Leno was the previous host until the show decided to try something new and move on to Conan in 1993. Many people were surprised and shocked that they have replaced Leno with Conan. But it was a great decision on NBC's part. The audience loved him, he was always a good way to end a day with Conan.

Conan as a little boy has always dreamed as being the host on the tonight show. It was a huge accomplishment on his part and he couldn't be happier. Until NBC decided to put Conan on the back burner and to put old host Jay Leno back in the spot light. Conan was not happy about this at all, and took him time to recover from it. Conan after what all went on from the tonight's show went on and gave a commencement address at the Darth Mouth College for the class of 2011. At the ceremony he explains his past and how not to be afraid of failure. That failure comes and goes throughout your life.

Just like Mark Edmondson's passage "Glorious Failure" they both are comparing bad and confused failure situations they have both encounter in their past. Conan uses a phrase Dreams always rising and falling basically Conan is explaining that there will always be ups and downs in life and it is your task to achieve them and not worry about the what ifs. And for Edmondson's article he says "I'm proud of the failures because without them I couldn't see the success I could obtain". It is important to not have stress in your life.
