Stephen Colbert Salutes UVA's Class of 2013

Stephen Colbert delivers the 2013 Valedictory Address at the University of Virginia. He first steals the show by pretending to steal the class check, a gift to U.Va., saying he would have spoken for free. He has some other fun moments before shifting gears to share some advice. Rain moves the ceremony from its traditional site on the lower Lawn to the John Paul Jones Arena. About 12,000 graduates and family members gather for the ceremony there.

It's hard to get over how amazing Stephen Colbert is at what he does. Such an amazing guy to bring satire, comedy and the edge of honesty in his comedy to EVERYTHING HE DOES!!!!

Forever honored, and delighted, to be a Class of 2013 who was right there.

[@markuse3472]

[@AnakinIHateSandSkywalker]

He touched his nose, something that I wouldn't focus on since 2020.

[@sheepblitzer]

[@RMTStudios]

9:08 "Georgia O'keeffe. I love her paintings, they remind me of something I rarely saw at Hampton Sidney"----hmm, Hampton Sidney is a CAT LESS university..

[@morpheos111]

Is there a special connection between UV and Cumberbatch ?

[@caskettmerder]

OMG benedict cumberbatch!!! lol

[@TheReddaredevil223]

Silly Stephen, adderall is for ADD not OCD

[@mjpeter3964]

Great speech but I thought this was performed last month because it was on the news a couple of days ago. Why is it in the news again after 2 yrs?

[@gemmaskate]

Npr did a thing about commencement speeches. Maybe that was why

[@FizzyArtCola]

[@NotJames1]

He really should have tried to learn that speech a bit better. Constantly looking down to read and even staying down for long times is distracting
