Six Degrees: Jon Stewart appearing at University of Buffalo
By
Heads up, boys and girls! Our favorite “opening act” for Stephen Colbert has been scheduled for the University of Buffalo’s Distinguished Speaker series this year.
From the Buffalo News:
Jon Stewart highlights UB Speaker Series
Updated: 08/05/08 4:13 PMJon Stewart, the popular host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” highlights a high-profile lineup for the University at Buffalo’s upcoming Distinguished Speaker Series.
. . .
UB announced today that, in addition to the [Karl] Rove-[John] Edwards debate, the series would feature: Stewart; Khaled Hosseini, author of “The Kite Runner”; Bill Nye, the “Science Guy”; Democratic political consultant and commentator Donna Brazile; and Anna Quindlen, the Newsweek columnist.
. . .
Stewart, who was chosen by UB students for a speaking slot, will appear Nov. 15.
Considering that Stephen spoke there earlier this year, I wonder if he’ll be accusing Jon of riding his coattails with this scheduled engagement.

haha, opening act!
I swear I should have gone to that university! it would have been a heck of a lot cheaper than the one I chose. click on their website; they have a monster speakers line-up!
by the time I’d need to get tickets for UB I’ll know whether the TDS tickets I have now will work out…so I guess it’s all just waiting for now.

And unless you’re a student, it’s (/was) nearly impossible to get tickets for either one. I did get to see Michael Moore and the Dalai Lama there, though.
