Alec Baldwin will be receiving an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree during the New York University Class of 2010 commencement on May 12 and will speak at the graduation ceremony as well.
NYU spokesman John Beckman says of Alec, an alumnus of NYU:
“We expect that the honorees will be received by the graduates and guests at commencement not merely with the respect and courtesy they deserve for their accomplishments, but with real enthusiasm.
“The choice of Mr. Baldwin as the host of this year’s Academy Awards and his selection as the recipient of an honorary degree from NYU are not related, other than that both are recognitions of his talent as an actor.”
We think Jack Donaghy would be quite the entertaining public speaker! Pretty cool for the grads, no?
