Jimmy Fallon can add the title of “graduate” to his long list of accomplishments! The Saturday Night Live alum who just scored his own late night show went back to school after he dropped out 14 years ago to pursue a comedy career. He was only a semester short of graduation.
He spoke to the to graduates at Saturday’s College of Saint Rose commencement in New York.
“There’s always going to be someone out there like that movie critic, who doesn’t believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you’re not smart enough or whatever,” Fallon told the graduates. “But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing.”
He earned his degree after presenting college officials with a portfolio of his work in TV and film, which satisfied remaining credits.
Congrats Jimmy!!
