- Dammit, why couldn’t Kevin have been at MY college commencement? Sounds like a fantastic speech was given by the man. We received quite a few accounts of the speech but all were quite similar, here’s one [from Jade] we thought summed it up pretty well. Thanks to all our scoopers above for sending in their reports from the scene, too.
Kevin received his honorary doctoral degree today at Illinois Wesleyan University,and his commencement address was very entertaining. He told his “Superman Lives†story with the dumb producer (Jon Peters) who wanted the giant spider and urged his “fellow classmates†to not turn out to be that guy because “some jack-off (pronounced jag-off) will come to commencement and make fun of you to a lot of strangers someday…†(not an exact quote) He also entertained us with made up nostalgia for his fellow classmates, using random names from the program “Remember when we bought that pound of hashish…Remember when we had that three-way…†He made say anything analogies, and gave great advice on “things he wish he knew before going out into the real world†(Length is what matters, not width) as well as “things he wish he knew before trying out for MTV’s The Real World†(Fat guys need not apply) The address was highlighted by his usual self deprecating humor and maybe a joke bashing my college, ISU, which is the dumb school down the road. Anyhow, it was very cool. I got the pleasure of meeting Dr. Smith and he was totally gracious, gladly taking pictures and signing things for everyone who asked. It was very cool.
Another scooper [Nate] says, “I was deeply honored that he was present at my graduation.†All we can say is that sounds like the way a commencement SHOULD be! Congrats on the honor, Dr. Smith, and on another crowd-pleasing appearance. We’re betting colleges all over the place are gonna be jockeying for the guy to speak more than ever.
