Hello all,

I'm really hoping someone at the tonight show reads this and can pass on the word. James Franco was originally planned to be our speaker but he bailed out on us last minute and now we are left with no one. We love Conan and what better way to welcome him to L.A. than having him speak at one of the greatest universities around. We even started a facebook group and started emailing our chancellor about this. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#...&topic=8747
The show's writers can even come up with a bit and send a camera crew to document Conan's visit. We will even invite him to our quarterly undie run tradition! Please make all our dreams to have a memorable graduation ceremony, come true!

Hello, I am writing in hopes that this message will in some way eventually make it to the eyes of Conan O'Brien himself. I would like to inform him of the current unfortunate situation that the 2009 graduating class of UCLA has found themselves in. The speaker for our class was originally planned to be James Franco but he has dropped out at the last minute leaving us stranded.

I as well as almost 900 others have joined together to publicly ask Conan O'Brien if he would honor us by being our 2009 commencement speaker!

We know it is very short notice but then again we were not given that much time to find a different speaker. We have submitted a formal request to our dean about it and are waiting to see if anything will come of it. If you would like to support us please visit and join our facebook group.

Thank you.

Not even 26 hours past the creation of your facebook group, there are now 1,237 members of the UCLA community who are imploring you to take over the disappointing (and frankly embarrassing) lack of a 2009 Graduation Speaker.

I've sent emails to the Dean's Office AND the Commencement Office to submit an official request to your office.

Please come!!
We need you!

Conan. Come come come comeeeee to UCLA. After the loss of Franco, we need someone sexier, smarter and frankly a million times funnier (we picked someone who was in pineapple express? c'mon well ok, it was funny but in comparison to you, psh pleaseeeee) to come along and replace him--that's where you come in.

It's apparent that LOS ANGELES loves you (just look at our facebook group) and what a better way to address your audience than speaking to the group of people who stay up to watch your show....YOU>>>>>HW/STUDYING FOR FINALS.

I mean you don't even have to be inspirational, or really address the fact we're graduating...just talk to us... rehearse your jokes.

Final Words: If you're not impressed with Angelenos come to our commencement, you'll find some equally smart (just look at # of graduates), sexier (we have to get dressed up so this is a guarantee) and somewhat funny crowd of kids that are scared of going otu into the real world...I mean jesus we have to find jobs in this economy? GIVE US A BREAK! We need a good laugh before we realize we must move back home and be jobless for quite awhile.

YAY.
