If you go to a fancy school and are smart and full of hope and promise, chances are you'll get someone equally as intelligent and successful to speak at your graduation. In America, some of the greatest commencement speeches of all time have come from Barack Obama, Ellen Degeneres, and Oprah Winfrey. From politicians, to comedians, to authors and leaders of industry—commencement speeches are sources of inspiration for the trying years ahead. And sure, it would be great to get some words of wisdom from a president or the creator of Apple, but wouldn't it be so much more memorable to get advice from a man who famously for wore a skin tight '70s v-neck, some aviators, a permed mullet wig, and played the cowbell?
That's right, Will Ferrell is the guy you want speaking at your graduation. He'll impersonate Whitney Houston. "Imagine me—literally picture my face—signing this song gently into your ear," he told the 2017 USC graduating class before singing "I Will Always Love You." He'll also talk shit about Trump University:
This is not my first commencement speech. The institutions to which I have spoken previously include Bryman's School of Nursing, DeVry Techincal School, Debbie Dootson's School of Trucking, University of Phoenix, Hollywood DJ Academy, and Trump University. I'm still waiting to get paid from Trump University. In fact, it turns out I owe Trump University money for the honor to speak at Trump University.
