LOVE YOU STEPHEN!!!!! Wonderful, funny/heartfelt speech. Those kids'll never forget what he said. They were SO lucky to have him there. And Knox was wise to honor him. How many speakers ever entertain,inform and INSPIRE? Colbert's one in a million. /Hey, thankx for posting this:)
What are you talking about? He's sarcastic. That's why he rarely smiles because he's trying to be funny w/o being funny. You're just not into his style but you don't have to knock him
Thank you so much for having this video up! Would it be possible to (re-)upload the first two parts, too? If not, then it's ok. I'm grateful for being able to watch at least the last part.
If Viacom wanted to be such Nazis about copywriting the likeness and image of Stephen Colbert, maybe they should have taken the time to travel to Knox College and film this speech like we did... It's really sad when corporate 'fat cats' have to take such a small thing away from the real fans...
Wow, that was truly inspirational. Unfortunantly I havent seen the first two parts but this was great. "Yes and" really is some of the best advice I have ever heard. It something I'll always keep in mind while in "the real world."
Who else could slide so effortlessly between saying things like "my speech today may contain some peanut products" to saying things like "you are about to start the greatest improvisation of all." Thanks so much for uploading this. I think my respect for Colbert just doubled, which must have made the universe pop a hernia somewhere; I didn't think it was possible.
I say we send this video to all those who still somehow fail to "get" Stephen.
Honourary degrees are the only qualifications which have a chance to gauge intelligence.

The whole "Say yes" part of that speech is some of the most inspiring words I've ever heard. I use those last few yes sentences all the time.
Bravo to Stephen and everything he does *salutes* (3
