It might have taken him 17 years, but Jimmy Fallon finally got his degree in communications. The funny guy graduated from a class of 1,800 at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. Fallon attended the university up to 1995 when he dropped out to pursue a comedy career. To graduate, Jimmy put a portfolio together to show university officials he had fulfilled the requirements he was missing through his professional experience.

Jimmy, not only got his college degree, but also doubled as the commencement speaker telling his fellow students to ignore people that don't believe in them. "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, 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 said.
