Jon Stewart’s commencement address at William & Mary, which he attended as an undergraduate and returned to to receive a honorary doctorate. Seems real, posted on the actual college website. I’ll go with it being real… and it’s funny even if it’s a hoax, a la the fake “Kurt Vonnegut” commencement address. One clip from Stewart:
Let’s talk about the real world for a moment. We had been discussing it earlier, and IáI wanted to bring this up to you earlier about the real world, and this is I guess as good a time as any. I don’t really know to put this, so I’ll be blunt. We broke it.
Please don’t be mad. I know we were supposed to bequeath to the next generation a world better than the one we were handed. So, sorry.
