With true Carrey flair, Jim delivers a funny but inspiring speech to the students, parents, faculty, university administrators, and many others who packed the Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge in Fairfield, Iowa to welcome this much-loved celebrity. He pokes fun at everything from Monsanto to Ayurveda, showing he had conscientiously done his homework in tailoring his talk to this particular graduating class. But it’s not all comedy: Dr. Carrey also gives sound, sometimes moving, advice to his warmly receptive audience.

His talk has received over 10 million views (and counting!) on YouTube.
