Jack Black was the surprise guest at the 11th Annual Renal Teel Dance in Sherman Oaks, CA on Sunday.  The event allows teens and young adults with renal disease to experience a prom-style event. The event was presented by the Renal Support Network (RSN) of Glendale, CA.

Black appeared wearing a mask and after mingling in the crowd went to the stage to unveil his identity. The attendees were impressed by the appearance. “Someone in my family is closely involved in the cause and asked me to come out, and I said yeah of course. How could I say no? How could I refuse?” Black said. Black spent an hour signing autographs and later performed a song.

KABC has footage of the event.
