Jimmy Fallon and The Weeknd made a surprise appearance at a Fordham University graduation party in New York City on Thursday, delighting the graduates with performances of “Blinding Lights” and “Can’t Feel My Face.” The celebration, attended by about 200 students, was initially thought to be a small gathering honoring their achievements. Fordham President Tania Tetlow had informed attendees about a “special guest DJ,” leading to Fallon’s entrance, where he humorously admitted to being inexperienced at DJing.
As Fallon activated the equipment and played “Blinding Lights,” the excitement in the room escalated. The surprise reached its peak when The Weeknd walked in, prompting cheers and ecstatic reactions from the graduates, who enthusiastically joined in on the performance. The Weeknd encouraged the crowd, shouting, “Class of 2025, let’s go!” He shared the microphone with some students and showcased synchronized dance moves alongside the university’s mascot, Ramses, humorously referred to as “Ramsey” by both performers.
Following “Blinding Lights,” The Weeknd continued with “Can’t Feel My Face,” and the thrilled graduates sang along, hands raised in celebration. After the performance, The Weeknd reflected on the unexpected turnout, stating he didn’t anticipate the event to be “that crazy.” When Fallon asked when he realized the surprise would be successful, The Weeknd humorously noted it was when the crowd began screaming for him. The joyful atmosphere continued as Fordham University students prepared for their commencement ceremony the following day.
