Great Speeches & Other Outbursts

image

Last week I went to Great Speeches & Other Outbursts, a benefit for 826NYC that consisted of delightful people from NPR, The Daily Show, and everywhere else reading famous speeches and essays, and all sorts of other things. Highlights for me included Ira Glass reading Lincoln, Bobby Cannavale and Eric Bogosian re-enacting an interview with Woody Allen and Billy Graham, and John Oliver showing off his fancy accent. But without question, the best moment of the evening was John Hodgman reading Teddy Roosevelt’s “strenuous life” speech, complete with shouting and added push-up breaks.
