Stephen Colbert gives MUSC commencement speech (updated x2)
Update May 15: The speech has come and gone. But if you missed it, don't worry, NBC News 2 was there and offers a write-up and quick video.
Update part 2: Charleston City Paper has a bunch of nice Colbert quotes from the event.
Update part 3: The Charleston Regional Business Journal has added a more traditional write-up.
Update part 4:And here's The Post and Courier's.
Update, May 14: Here's updated information of the commencement proceedings from MUSC.
First reporting:
Charleston's native son, Stephen Colbert, is slated to give the Medical University of South Carolina's commencement speech for the May 15th graduation ceremony.
So, if you're not affiliated with MUSC, why should you care? Well, first off we can always hope for Colbert spottings in town, and while the ceremony is for graduates it's held at the Horseshoe and you'll probably be able to watch from the sidelines -- if you're really excited at the chance to see Colbert.
No time has yet been settled on, but we'll update once they decide.
Here's a map to the Horseshoe.

I will be there! At least he'll be able to keep graduates laughing in this time of economic doom and gloom.

Nope, quite truthful. We chatted with the MUSC PR people to confirm.

Wow, whoever did the video for News2 needs to put the phone on silent, not vibrate. #startling #loud #annoying

Hah! I thought maybe someone had an air-horn. :)

That's what I thought at the first one, but as it kept happening (a killer through earbuds), I figured it was incoming texts. Wonder if anyone else has decent video.
