Video of the Day: Steve Carell turns commencement into dance party

Actor Steve Carell delivered the commencement address at Northwestern University's graduation ceremony Monday, with a fun twist. The university held its 167th annual commencement at Chicago’s United Center, where Carell received an honorary doctorate. Halfway through his speech, which focused on encouraging and inspiring the graduates, Carell paused for a dance break. After shimmying on stage with School of Communication Dean E. Patrick Johnson and running through the crowd of dancing graduates, he returned to the stage to finish his remarks.
