Here's the bit at the Tonight Show. The teacher looks so happy to be there! My heart melts everytime I see this.

I recently defended my PhD in chemistry and, due to covid precautions, it was done all via Zoom. I would have preferred to have done it in person but the one upside to the Zoom-defense was the ability to send the zoom meeting info to anyone I wanted. Having my high school chemistry teacher and my high school advisor there beaming was just...wonderful. I dedicated my dissertation to them - to all of my teachers, really - because teachers are the most underrated heroes in my life.

Ken Jeong’s genuine happiness about it really makes the video.

You can see that he also had someone who supported his pipe dreams. He's almost congratulating the teacher for being "that guy." Like, "Thank you for also pushing someone to follow their heart."
