Betty White Is on WaPo’s Commencement Speaker Wish List

Barbara | May 13, 2010

We’re almost halfway through May, and we think it’s safe to say that from now until the end of the month, there’s probably at least 20 college commencements happening every day across the country. And it’s also safe to say that there are some really cool celebrities gearing up for their commencement speech. Just to name a few: Alec Baldwin is speaking at NYU, Meryl Streep will be at Barnard, Lisa Kudrow is headed to Vassar, and Wyclef Jean is slated for Western Connecticut State University.

A Washington Post blog today discussed the upcoming celebrity commencement speakers, as well as a wish list of speakers for 2011. Wouldn’t you know who topped the list? Betty White, and the blog even linked to our humble little Facebook group page.

While we don’t know Betty personally, we really think that she would make an excellent commencement speaker for some lucky graduating class, as well as a very worthy recipient of an honorary doctorate that usually comes along with the speaking gig. Hey, if it worked for SNL, we think her fans can make it work for the Class of 2011, too.
