Improv Everywhere Invites Random New Yorkers to Give a Commencement Speech

Improv Everywhere visited Bryant Park to offer random New Yorkers the chance to give a commencement speech to a class of college graduates.

For our latest mission, we gave random New Yorkers the opportunity to give an inspiring commencement address. We set up a commencement ceremony in Bryant Park with graduates, faculty, and a lectern. The only thing missing was the speaker. A guy posing as the dean of the school recruited random people with hand-written sign that read, "commencement speaker needed."
