That’s what he said. Or, that’s what he will say, when Steve Carell delivers the commencement speech for Northwestern University this Spring. The ceremony, set for Sunday June 15 at 10:30 a.m. will be held at the United Center and the actor and comedian will also receive an honorary degree.

Steve Carell, who once made Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch his stage on "The Office," will now take the podium as Northwestern University’s 2025 commencement speaker.

Plans for Northwestern University's 167th annual commencement ceremony are under way, with a comedy legend with ties to the school slated to deliver the commencement speech.
