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.
