“I wanted to help create a show that looked and felt very different from traditional specials. Something that spoke to kids in a different way. These kids worked so hard to graduate and what is happening to them is truly unfair,” James said in a statement to The Associated Press towards the end of last month.

“I hope we can give them and their families something cool that makes their accomplishment feel special.”

On Friday, James promised it will be an incredible event for the young class of 2020 via Twitter.

“Senior Class of 2020 I just want y’all to know that the graduation show we’re putting together for you is going to be incredible and one for the ages!! Love each and every one of you!! The FUTURE you are,” he tweeted.
