A night for grads! LeBron James, Barack Obama ....
And more celebrate the class of 2020!!
It's starts at 7 on CNN
Celebrities, activists and athletes are honoring millions of students who cannot attend their graduation ceremonies because of the coronavirus crisis.
Former President Barack Obama will deliver a commencement address, the Jonas Brothers will perform their new song with Karol G and Hollywood actor Gal Gadot will share a message.
"Graduating is a big achievement no matter what, but with all that the Class of 2020 has dealt with to get across the finish line, I think they've earned a little celebration," Obama tweeted earlier on Saturday.

The first is CNN's "Class of 2020: In This Together" with appearances from Gadot, actor Keegan-Michael Key, Foster The People and former US President Bill Clinton.
Followed by "Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020," hosted by The LeBron James Family Foundation, The Entertainment Industry Foundation and XQ Institute.
Malala Yousafzai, the Jonas Brothers, Yara Shahidi, H.E.R., Bad Bunny, Pharrell Williams, Lena Waithe and Megan Rapinoe are all slated to make appearances during the second event -- something that may not have been possible in a typical graduation.

I saw some of it. but the best was President Obama's speech to the graduates.
Some of the music I didn't like so I did alot of channel surfing.
But the graduates at least had a nice "graduation"
