That’s gotta be annoying

This is honestly the best forensic piece I have seen to this day. His speech is not only an excellent forensic piece but actually has a true message that will continues to be echoed 14 years after it was preformed. He is truly a legend!

I've seen this OO like 20 times and it only gets better each time I watch it. It really makes me want to work harder to improve and inspire others as an orator.

i had no idea josh gad did forensics, and it honestly is so uplifting. and he is amazing

hate to be the person that went after him....

Funny you should say that; one of my best friends from high school, Gabe Rosenberg, gave his OO directly after him. Did well, but poor guy.

+Philip Cori And his name is Josh! I freaked out. He even kind of looks like him.

He really matured from '98 to '99. His oratory became a lot better, his overall performance, his structure was a lot better, and his overall topic was more relevant. HOO-HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the returning National Champion in Oratory, Gad already had predisposed credibility as a public speaker; it was this that enabled him to use certain types of humor and other strategies in his speech. Many of the strategies he used would cause him to be unbelievable as a speaker in any other situation. Gad plays with this balance of credibility in a very unique way. It goes without saying that beginning a speech with a song to the tune of “Ode to Joy” is a bit unorthodox. Gad admits that singing to begin his oratory is a “mockery” and a “no-no by most standards in debate.” While this method does not give him any credibility as a speaker in the audience’s eye, the sheer preposterousness of his actions immediately grabs the attention of the audience

A true legend of high school forensics.

This is the "Ruthless" of Oratory. Definitely. Legendary.

I'm In 8th grade this year and this is my first year for speech and debate I was really nervous but this video helped a lot.

at the end I got chills because of how good it was

It is so good to see this finally on KZread. And it just so happened to be uploaded 3 days ago! How lucky am I? Anyways, Josh served as an inspiration during my somewhat uneventful Debate career. He does so many things right in this OO, and although I never amounted to anything in debate, Josh Gad certainly did have an influence on how enjoyable my time as a debater, which I wouldn't trade for the world.

This is such an amazing piece!! He presented it wonderfully! Plus he sounds like josh from drake and josh haha

My old English Teacher was one of the judges there.

Greatest OO of all time.

Could you possibly get his HI that won in 1999 too? I heard legends about that too

Absolutely brilliant.

The best. Simply the best.

He hasn't changed a bit, love Josh Gad!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Wow... can't believe they put this up. Classic.

oh god that ending made me tear up like crazy

HOLY FRICK! IT'S JOSH GAD!

Beautiful....

That was brilliant, so eloquently spoken

Josh did a fabulous job!!! I competed in this category in high school. It is not easy!!!!

What a brilliant speech.

Wow, I have just been inspired

I would give Josh the Mark twain award and very educational.

His grandma changed the world forever. Who would our olaf our lefou be?

Thank you Josh Gad and Conan O’Brien for letting me know that these videos exist

Who knew that Ludlow the Wonder Kid could make such an outstanding speech?

“It’s SPHERICAL”

i didnt also realize until later that he is an actor now

The fact he referenced "The Master of Disguise" lol

@dHernandez3256 He sure did. One of the most awesome HI's of all time; "Wizard of OZ"

And now people are using TBOM as their pieces. Josh should be so proud of how big an impact he made on the Forensics community.

This guy slapsss Hoo Ah!

@orlmgc4ever do you have video of Josh Gad's HI this year too. If you do can you please post it.

Now see Josh Gad in "The Book of Mormon" on Broadway!
