Ladies and gentlemen, a very good [morning/afternoon/evening] to all of you!
Anchor 2:
And a big round of applause for all the wonderful people who have joined us today for this special occasion—the long-awaited farewell for our dear [students/colleagues]. But don’t get too emotional just yet, because we’re here to laugh, reminisce, and perhaps share some embarrassing stories!
Anchor 1:
Today, we gather not just to say goodbye, but to celebrate the crazy, fun, and unforgettable moments we’ve shared with our dear friends. Whether it’s the pranks, the inside jokes, or the times we pretended to listen in class—today is about remembering it all, with a smile and maybe a few laughs!

And now, it’s time for a little fun before we get all emotional. Let’s play a game of “Roast or Toast”!

To start us off, we invite [Name] to come forward and share a few words… or a few roasts!
