Sona Was Named Mt. SAC’s Alumnus Of The Year | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@DavidBanuelos]

As a former student and former professor at Mt. SAC, congratulations Sona! We're proud to have you.

[@joshclark5548]

"delivered sincerely with the understanding that an insult was to follow" So proud of Gourley

[@vicc8016]

This speech was during my graduation ceremony! I was only expecting a prerecorded video when I saw Sona's name on the schedule, but it was awesome seeing her live in person. Thanks for the encouraging words, Sona. Say hi to Conan for me!

[@franciet99]

Congratulations! Did she plagiarize Conan’s speech??!😂😂😂

[@1maryayala]

I love how Sona is always highly suspicious whenever Conan compliments her because immediately it’s followed by a bit.

[@seansmith2797]

Once a bit, twice as wary

[@Drnaynay]

I think he was just talking quickly, to squish it in. But yes, I'd say they have a well-earned mutual suspicion.

[@mrblonde1264]

Years of being lured into punchlines will do that..😂

[@SimBol1216]

Meanwhile she trashes him constantly and never genuinely compliments him

[@alno2554]

I’m a young person who is definitely a coniftie. I don’t know how big the crossover is, but can confirm it exists.

There lots of us and I wouldn’t be surprised if Taylor is a fan of his at all.

I loved Sona accused Conan of having a tone, comedic gold.

[@thirdworldTrini]

😂😂 I swear Conan lives for it lol

[@arosha1]

“You have such a different background than me...” Sona’s eyes start to narrow.

[@jdkim1019]

Yesss, it was like watching an emotional blast shield of sorts being lowered. She's been down that alley before, she knew where Conan was leading her.

[@KevinCook-y4p]

Lolol oh man I read this just in time too 😂😂😂

[@dobrydendavid]

I hope they film Sona’s speech! Congratulations!

as someone who went to Mt. SAC, congrats to her! truly an amazing school and i don't regret it. proud to have been a Mountie and she should be too!

[@Drnaynay]

So proud of Sona! I'm sure it's a great school, but there's only one group of people who merit being called Mounties.

[@zachreacts5508]

@@Drnaynay That one group....the Swiss.

[@FrightShark]

"I'm a doctor of arts, muthafucka" might be the first time those words were spoken in that order

[@WdawgSmith]

In that order ? So you think maybe “I’m an arts of muthafucka, doctor” HAS been said lol

[@brandonwei2430]

Holy crap! I just applied to Mt. SAC for an adjunct professor role! I saw Sona's post too earlier but didnt realize this was why. Congrats Sona...does this mean that if I get accepted i can say you never attended any of my classes?!

[@dmgreenw]

Red Flag, Logic joke! 😏 That’s actually pretty funny! If you’re going to teach anything but writing you’re missing your calling, my friend. 😆

[@weeniehutjunior]

Congratulations Sona! A well-deserved honor!

[@radhiadeedou8286]

Is it?

[@michaelweston2285]

but really, is it? i like her and glad she's been given the opportunities that Conan has given her, but was has she really accomplished that wasn't just given to her? she's a secretary that Conan likes talking to on air. what did she actually accomplish?

[@evenflowsteven]

@@michaelweston2285😂😂😂😂😂. Someone’s jealous.

[@michaelweston2285]

@@evenflowsteven omg you nailed it. i wish i were giving a 2 minute speech at a community college as a reward for chit-chatting with my co-workers.

[@michaelweston2285]

@@evenflowsteven btw, not seeing you disagree that being handed something like an opportunity to small talk with your boss as the entirety of your job duties is that much of an achievement. so seems like you kinda agree with me but too scared to admit it for others to see. or maybe you think lotto winners are just the most accomplished people in our society.

[@vanivari359]

Hehe, Sonas look at 5:08 ... she knows something stupid is coming.

[@shinobu5359]

"You're the man now dog" - Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

[@Jilliciousful]

We were so happy to name Sona 2023's Alumna of the Year!

[@Jilliciousful]

She did a great job and like Conan said, provided inspiration to our students.

[@etg239]

"It's not union at all! It's me!" I know that was just honesty, but that was hilarious!

[@seansmith2797]

Sona is amazing and thankfully her college recognizes this as well. Totally deserved, she's gonna kill that speech!

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Right on! 🙂 What are her accolades?

[@LycanLink]

Jeez, during that State Farm ad, Sona looks stunning in red. I know she's always pretty, but still. Makes me wonder if I have a color that works for me.

[@abhiabhi85]

Conan and Sona are best duo when they go at each other !

Conan, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish totally have a shared fanbase! Her name is Taylor Tomlinson and she’s very talented.

[@madisonrose1893]

I am the Coniftie, also very proud of Sona!

[@amitychief3061]

This reminded me of that great line from the movie "What's Up Doc". "I'm a doctor of music". "Can you fix a hi-fi?" "No", "Then shut up!"

[@afrosymphony8207]

sona didnt strike as the speech champion type because she seems kinda shy nd reserved around ppl who arent conan nd co, woow that soo incredible

[@nonpondo_]

Matt really said "you're the man now dog" Jesus Christ what a reference

[@MrRrrrene]

Can I just say that what I'm expecting from you three characters..... my mind went so far South on the title of the thumbnail for this video. It said Mt. Sac and I automatically read...."Empty Sac". This is what you three have done to my mind..... Of course I'm also a musician so my mind is halfway there anyway.... Keep kicking ass you three and thank you for gifting us with laughter. Blessings

[@sassyest8292]

Congrats Sona! We are all so proud of youuu (I/we did nothing to contribute to your success lol but still proud nonetheless). You are a brilliant person and your speech at Mt SAC was *chef's kiss*, made me teary a bit. PS. I enjoy and even laugh harder whenever these three just talk, even when there are no guests

[@jonholbrook8821]

"I'm a doctorate of arts..MOTHER FUCKASSSS"

[@Gerugon]

Sona mentioned the commencement adresses conan did and i have to agree they are great, i watch them every now and again. They are witty, wholesome and honest, a great pickmeup when you feel down.

[@arsmor1end1]

Congrats, Sona! I watched the video weeks ago; it was very strange to see Conan be completely sincere. Now, can we address the "mount sac" in the room..

[@elicaulfeld9546]

"You're the man now, dawg." I can't believe Gours slipped this in without any reactions.

Wait, is Sona playing a bigger crowd than Conezie Wonezie has played?! Way to go, Sona!! 😂 👏🏻

It could be hilarious if Sona just reads out a Conan speech, including all the stuff that is highly specific to him ("as a ginger Irish man" etc...)

6:30 lol the stuttering and hesitation made it funnier "...su-surp-surprised?"

[@krylesangerbeaver]

Whoever is speaking before Sona better steal that first line. I need her to get reasons for a second book. She'll have 3 chapters about writing the speech and then having to re-write last minute.
