For those of you who caught the end of SNL on Saturday night and couldn’t figure out what Jimmy Fallon was holding up to the camera, it was his B.A. from the College of St. Rose. Fallon was the commencement speaker at St. Rose’s Graduation at SPAC on Saturday along with Utica native and pollster, John Zogby. Fallon kept the crowd laughing while giving the students a hard dose of reality.

“I’m not going to lie to you: The real world is freakin’ terrifying,” Fallon said. “The real world is really expensive and sometimes it’s hard to find a job, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t use your Golden Knights cash card to buy toilet paper,” he joked, referring to the school’s mascot.

Fallon left St. Rose to pursue a career in comedy in the mid 90s with only 15 credits left to complete. The college awarded him a bachelor’s degree on Saturday after he presented Saint Rose officials with a portfolio proving that he had mastered the skills for a communications degree.

Congrats to Jimmy who is proof its never to late to graduate!
