In 2009, Ellen DeGeneres gave a commencement address to the graduating class
at Tulane University. I didn’t go to Tulane University, but I watched the presentation on
YouTube. Ellen effectively used humor as a means to gain the audience’s attention. As
a result, I was engaged with the presentation, even though I was not watching in
person, and I still remember that address today.
