Jimmy and The Weeknd crash a college graduation at Fordham University for a surprise performance of “Blinding Lights” and “I Can’t Feel My Face.”
The Weeknd may have dropped out of high school, but he found his way onto a college campus on Thursday May 15th. Abel and Jimmy surprised a group of graduating seniors at Fordham University in The Bronx and Abel blessed the students with a performance of a pair of his biggest smash hits to date with Billboard Hot 100-toppers “Blinding Lights” and “Can’t Feel My Face.”
Fallon was first introduced as a special guest DJ, as the kids had no idea The Weeknd was waiting behind closed doors in the back. Fallon joined the performance, which featured a hilarious scene with The Weeknd dancing alongside the Fordham official mascot, Ramses the Ram.
The Weeknd made his couch debut on The Tonight Show later Thursday as he joined Jimmy Fallon for his first interview on the late-night staple. The Toronto native joked he knew he’d get a great reaction from the crowd after hearing Fallon get cheers at the graduation event.
