Not a lot appreciated his humor but he's a legend

One of the best graduation speeches I've seen to date. His juggle of words, contemporary culture, wise words, history and jokes in 13 minutes was pretty impressive. He makes it look easy.

+Samuel Hauptmann van Dam I think his speech at Northwester university in 2011 is even better, if not the best graduation speech I've heard.

Hey, this is actually Dean Shore, the campus barber mentioned that day. Just have to add, it was probably the single most shocking/surprised moment of my life when he mentioned my name.

How fun. It's great that he doesn't bore them with a pile of empty 'motivational' quotes but delivers with sincerity and humor.

I LOVE STEPHEN COLBERT SO MUCH , HE'S ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT !

After he made the integration joke, the camera immediately panned over the graduating class at 4:55. It made me realize that Stephen has amazing eyesight because I cannot see how they kept it up.

"Pearls of wisdom from Stephen Colbert." That could could be a good lead-in or a good punch line.

He’s pretty awesome at speeches!!

@ 1:58 that smile when you don't understand the joke (I'm looking at you, old people in the back)

the title read "Stephen Colbert gives a funny farewell to Wake..." before clicking on it, the irony. I clicked on it expecting dark humor.

That was absolutely brilliant.

I love it!

makes me want to have gone there for undergrad, especially since that was my graduating year XD

What is interesting is how the newscasters only called it funny when near the end it was more honorable and didn't give much thought about everything else other than the jokes.

1:22 "But..." And here among money you bring up all those things in your mind and heart that you did not go for, then you compare them to money and work and routine and... You want to cry :) . Admit it :D

Buy recyclable toothbrushes made from recyclable materials, and ask your supermarkets to stock them. The best thing for your teeth is to stop eating sticky sugary foods, and take the time to brush thoroughly after eating.

amazing guy he is......

Transcript or closed captioning please?

He makes me laugh. I like that.

I guess Wake Forest is now... in their wake.

I had no idea the titles at the bottom of the screen changed

I need him to go back to Television as soon as possible

Hahahahaha witness him!!!

Onto the breech...

this dude is the elevator music for comedy, neither puts me up nor down.

The guy over Stephen's left shoulder at 4:35 looks like if PM Modi was American

Honorary doctorates being given out send such a contradictory message. Someone giving advice to someone else who has actually worked for that degree.

@redmed10

yaggyplantationproductions It's become a bit of an American tradition. Doesn't really happen in the UK. Well honorary doctorates are given out but not televised in front of thousands of students. You know he had his speech written by his team of writers. The nearest thing we have of honours given to inappropriate people in the UK are knighthoods.

I was there, hot as fuck, but he made it better
