Amy Poehler gave a hilarious and heartfelt speech at the Class Day Ceremonies on Wednesday. Congratulations seniors, we at The Voice will miss you very much. Go forth and prosper.

That’s right you read that correctly. The senior class scored big and the one and only hilarious Amy Poehler will be their speaker on Class Day.

Previous speakers have included Christiane Amanpour and Matt Lauer.

And it’s no other than the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

The Yale Daily News article just went live.

Who did Harvard get? CNN’s chief international correspondent and anchor, Christiane Amanpour. I think the fact that I had to check the Harvard Gazette article twice to get her name right says something. Yes, I’m ignorant, but I also came from a communist country in Asia and now live in a dorm with no cable! Granted, Clinton attended Yale Law School and has come back to speak twice in the past ten years, once in 2001 and again in 2008, so it’s not that hard for them to get him. However, it is still pretty undeniable that his name creates way more buzz than Amanpour’s. And if Facebook is any indication, way more excitement in the student body. (It’s BILL FRIGGIN’ CLINTON! OMG!)

Make of that what you will. As for me, I’m booking my bus ticket to New Haven. I might get killed and stuffed in a wall (especially considering the fact that I’m of the same height, stature and ethnic origin as Annie Le), but the risk is worth it.

P/S: Maybe Harvard should go ahead and get Lady Gaga next year. Noice will be very happy. Will you?

Christiane Amanpour, 52, who has long worked as CNN’s chief international correspondent and interviewed some of the most prominent world leaders of our time, has been chosen to address the Class of 2010 on Class Day–information the Senior Class Committee released today.
