What a legend. This guy is so confident and comedic, yet he still delivers a wholesome message to the students. Part of me wishes I hadn't watched this video though, my own valedictorian draft feels a lot less impressive...
Hey Samuel, it’s me, the guy from this video from 10 years ago. First off, congratulations on your academic achievement! I’m sure you, unlike me, worked very hard to be top of your graduating class. Secondly of all I want you to know that I believe in you. I believe you will get up there and - with the handful of minutes that are your reward for years of academic toil and dedication - you will say what you feel is the most important message you have to deliver. And even if you don’t get a single laugh, the people who love you will be thrilled to celebrate you and will remember the moment forever. Much like my mom did, as she posted your comment on her Facebook and tagged me in it. I guess she still has the tab with this video open a decade later. And if you want to crib a joke or two, you can take the bad ones (the Jimmy Carter joke didn’t land at all so if you can make it work you’ve surpassed me).
@@imab0t274 Yep, it was my dad's state-of-the-art iphone 4 or nothing. Ironically the Radio, TV and Film graduation wasn't recorded. I guess all the AV geeks were busy with something...
This is the Best Valedictorian Speech I have ever heard!! I could not stop laughing. I don't see how the people held the camera, as still as they could. I could not have done that due to laughing so hard. Is he still on DNews?
Funny enough, you can now follow him on DNEWS. Julian has also hosted "The Science of Love" and "The Science of Happiness" in the RUclips series of Soul Pancakes
This guy should be in standup, I'm amazed I've not heard of him.
Santa Cruz is a great school!

D News was bought Seeker years ago and recently Vox bought Seeker. Vox let go of a lot of talent.
I wonder if Asha and him actually talked after this. XD
Rumor has it that they are married
