For those saying so and so didn't graduate, it says attendees, not graduates.

This changes things.

Don Henley and Norah Jones trump Dr. Phil.

My favorite would be among Pat Boone, Roy Orbison or Phyllis George.

I almost added that there were others that might be considered better than the two I listed.

I guess it depends on generations and if they have to immediately be recognized by name. I feel Dr Phil is probably the best choice since every generation knows who he is at this point. Ask teenagers/young adults if they know who Meatloaf is and they'll probably tell you they're not hungry until you play a song and they realize they've heard his music. Dr Phil is known by name almost like Oprah at this point.

I'm not sure.  We have a generation of kids that only watch YouTube, and are completely oblivious to daytime TV personalities.

This list is obviously an informal troll job, but I’ll chime in: I personally don’t think Phil is obvious anymore than Meatloaf, Fry, Roy Orbison or Norah Jones.  If you asked me for a UNT name that would be universally recognizable to the under-30 crowd, I’m not sure I’d have an answer.
