Stephen Colbert Salutes U.Va.'s Class of 2013/斯蒂芬·科尔伯特弗吉尼亚大学2013届毕业典礼演讲
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. 美国著名喜剧演员斯蒂芬·科尔伯特在弗吉尼亚大学2013告别演说。他第一次抢断节目假装偷检查类，礼品u.va.，说他所说的自由。他有一些有趣的时刻，在换档分享一些建议。雨将仪式在下草坪传统网站到舞台上的约翰保罗琼斯。大约12000的毕业生和家庭成员聚集的仪式。
