A new take on commencement

Jon Stewart's Commencement Address provides the audience with comfort and allows everyone to sort of loosen up. His use of humor allows the audience to feel a little sign of relief, the graduates must be a little overwhelmed. Jon's ability to bring humor to a serious matter and do it with class is very influential. I like the fact that he is able to relate with everyone, he allows everyone to realize that he is a regular guy, and like everyone else you have to start from the bottom to get to the top. Jon Stewart is a prime example of how hard work leads to success. I think he is a very relatable person, and his speech was very powerful. 

Some people may question his decision to be so relaxed, and willing to provide humor, but I think it is a great strategy to capture the audience. The audience wants to be interested in what they are listening to or who they are watching, so why not make it a little humorous? There were times where Jon Stewart was serious, and those points where given at proper moments. He tells a little bit about his own life and how he wasn't always at the top of the game, but only after he worked hard to achieve success was when he ended up on top. Even after earning success, he continued to strive to achieve more. Jon Stewart's Commencement Address, is a speech like no other which provides the audience with confidence in themselves and recognizes all that one can achieve through hard work and dedication.
