Renowned comedian, actor, producer, and author Jerry Seinfeld graced the stage at Duke University’s 2024 commencement ceremony, held at Wallace Wade Stadium on May 12, 2024. In his address, Seinfeld emphasized the importance of laughter and encouraged the graduates to approach life’s challenges with a sense of humor.

“All of you here, without question, are the best of the best. Just don’t lose your humor. It’s not an accessory. It’s your Stanley Cup water bottle on the brutal, long hike of life,” said Seinfeld.
