Actor Ed Helms To Give Knox Commencement
Knox College announced Wednesday that actor and comedian Ed Helms will be the guest speaker for the college's 2013 Commencement address.

Helms is known for his role as "Andy Bernard" in the NBC hit comedy "The Office" among his work on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and his appearance in the movie "The Hangover."

He will be the second cast member of "The Daily Show" to give the commencement address at Knox - Stephen Colbert was the other invited speaker from the Daily Show cast.

Knox College's Commencement ceremony will be held June 8th this year on the South Lawn of Old Main on the Knox College Campus.

The College says that Helms has made a distinct contribution to pop culture for this generation of students.

Graduating Seniors at Knox are responsible for selecting the commencement speaker each year.

Helms joins then State Senator Barack Obama among the recent, distinguished guest speakers at the college's commencement ceremony.

The Knox College commencement is free and open to the public.
