Stephen Colbert Cameos In High School Principal's Commencement Speech From Iraq

Stephen Colbert, with a new crewcut, made a cameo appearance from Iraq in high school principal David St. Aubin's commencement speech to the 2009 graduating class of Goodrich High School in Michigan.

During his comments, St. Aubin, who was deployed to Iraq in December, paused to introduce a "special guest."

Colbert jumped out and enthusiastically shouted, "Congratulations, Class of 2009. Stay strong!" before high-fiving St. Aubin.

You are the man Colbert!

I really hope that Colbert is having as much fun as he seems to be having. It's good to see someone with so much enthusiasm.

Colbert looks good with a crew cut! I like it.

what a team player! I am a 52 year old woman and I just smile everytime he opens his mouth!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

That is great. The longer Stephen does his show and uses his celebrity, the more I like him.

Thank you, Mr. Cole-BEAR.­. BEAR?????

With that crew cut it's more like Col-BARE !

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

+1! Thanks for the laugh. Good one.

Kidding aside, Colbert is doing a good thing here and in his visit to Iraq and should be applauded for it.

Is that lady cnn's most vacuous news reader, or what?

[motherofsons]

Yes. She is really horrible. Attractive but a very distracting camera presence. Her producer and director need to get her some remedial news reader lesson stat!!

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

I saw this earlier on CNN... I didn't recognize Colbert at all here. He seems so, er, uh... manly here.

And yes, Congratulations Class of '09.

[blaharumph]

SWEET!
