The solace I sought was from my graduation ceremony, which was unceremoniously cancelled. But this. As well as the 2020 version, is truly a glimmer of hope and light in an otherwise pitch black world. And so for that I thank you. Conan for doing what you do best. And for the people at Team Coco who work so tirelessly and endlessly to make the magic happen. Thank you all and stay blessed. Stay safe.

She then transferred to Harvard University in 1985, from which she withdrew to pursue her acting career (she was inspired by a friend to work in television commercials as a way to pay for college) one semester short of earning her degree. Over a decade later, she returned to Harvard and completed her B.A. in political science in 2000."

      It's actually not. It's a common speech phenomenon where the eyes see an upcoming word in the sentence and your brain pronounces those sounds too soon, messing up an earlier word.
      In this case, when he says "pause" his brain saw the word "voice" coming just a few words later, and accidentally mixed the two together.
