You know the drill -- Jay Leno pulls some sort of "prank" on random people, and then we all are supposed to laugh at how dumb they are. Yaaaawn. Fortunately this time Leno's plan went awry, when the person he was attempting to startle turned out to be a talented, extroverted singer, who knows all the words to Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer."

Watch the commercial and see if you agree.

Even less surprising was that Conan's speech turned out to be really good. He touched on the tough job market and the unfairness of life, and told the crowd that, while they shouldn't fear failure, they should "do their very best to avoid it."
