On Thursday’s episode of _The Tonight Show,_ they performed as two high school students graduating in 1989 (after eight years in school.) They ramble idiotically for several minutes and offer absolutely no helpful advice to their fellow graduates. Fallon does basically come up with the idea for Facebook — though the pair immediately dismisses it as a “big sack of never gonna happen.” The speech may not offer any pearls of wisdom, but we appreciate it for the opportunity to watch Jimmy Fallon and The Rock act like total morons for five minutes. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3893920/jimmy-fallon-the-rock-graduation-speech/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3893920/jimmy-fallon-the-rock-graduation-speech/"},"headline":"Watch Jimmy Fallon and The Rock Give the Worst Graduation Speech of All Time","datePublished":"2015-05-22T15:04:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:12.693Z","description":"They play two high school students with the lowest GPAs, in 1989","url":"https://time.com/3893920/jimmy-fallon-the-rock-graduation-speech/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3893920/jimmy-fallon-the-rock-graduation-speech/","name":"Watch Jimmy Fallon and The Rock Give the Worst Graduation Speech of All Time"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Best Celeb Graduation Speeches","description":"The best moments of celebrity commencement speeches from the past decade including Stephen Colbert and Steve Jobs","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ANHI2RmH/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2013-05-16T19:42:54.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ANHI2RmH.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3893920/jimmy-fallon-the-rock-graduation-speech/","duration":"PT3M23S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3893920/jimmy-fallon-the-rock-graduation-speech/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
