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.
