June 15th, 2008 by timbotron
It’s time for graduation ceremonies once again. Here’s a working list of some of the more interesting graduation commencement speakers:
• Drury University, 2007 - gameshow host Bob Barker [video]
• University of Pennsylvania, 2004 - Bono
• Harvard, 2006 - Seth MacFarlane (the voice of “Stewie” on “Family Guy”) [video]
• Stanford, 2008 - Oprah Winfrey
• Columbia, 2007 - “Lost” actor Matthew Fox
• Harvard, 2008 - author J.K. Rowling
• Ashley Hall Girls Preparatory School, 2007 - Mike Reiss (writer/producer of “The Simpsons”) - I included this because he is one of the funniest commencement speakers I have ever seen: video 1, video 2, video 3, video 4, video 5.
