Jimmy Fallon and The Weeknd crashed a Fordham University graduation party in New York City on Thursday, surprising this year’s graduates with performances of the hit songs “Blinding Lights” and “Can’t Feel My Face.”

The students thought they were attending a small party in their honor, the host of “The Tonight Show” said in a video of the surprise. The university reported about 200 students were in attendance.

“They have no idea that I’m about to DJ for them,” Fallon said. “They also have no idea that The Weeknd is going to perform.”

Fordham President Tania Tetlow welcomed the graduates-to-be to the celebration, telling them they had a “special guest DJ” coming. Students erupted in cheers as Fallon then entered the room, taking his place behind the DJ setup.

“I’ve never deejayed before in my life,” Fallon said. “I should admit that now. I just figured it’d be fun.”
