The best and funniest on the internet!
Our favorite new show DOES IT AGAIN! Some Good News has taken what felt like a missed major milestone and given us all a way to celebrate it together but apart.
Gowns? Check. Decorations? Got ’em. Commencement speakers? YES! It’s not what we expected this year, but in some ways this version is extra sweet.
If you’re not all caught up with the Some Good News series — you don’t want to miss it! You’ve got to see them ALL to graduate!
Manicures can be a great stress -reliever. They can make you feel so much more put-together all of a sudden. Since we can’t go out and get one as easily lately, we can go to it ourselves and make it a relaxing part of our day. Scratch-off art projects can be super relaxing too, so what happens when you COMBINE the two!?! SCRATCH OFF NAILS!
It ends up feeling a little like an adult coloring book. Especially if you use enough colors that you’ve already forgotten which color is where by the time you start scratching.
The best tip is to do one nail at a time so that the acrylic paint doesn’t harden too much for you to be able to scratch in the design cleanly.
What do you think? Is it crazy, fun or weird — or all three!?!
Irish singer-songwriter JC Stewart decided to take a fresh look at the Friends theme song as if it were happening in 2020, and it’s a take you’ll LOVE! “I’ll be here all day…. and you will be tooooo…”
Jennifer Aniston herself gave this version a thumbs up and shared it with her millions of followers! The first few lines are familiar, but then he weaves in exotic travel destinations like… his fridge — and a timely reference to Tiger King.

I’ve been looking forward to Some Good News Episode 5 all week long. John Krasinski’s new show has become a highlight in this weird time and this week’s show DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
This week was all about using food to make a difference. From famous chefs raising money to neighborhood restauranteurs supplying sweets to essential workers and sharing recipes.
Guests in this episode included an awesome assortment of famous cooks. John brought in the help of viewers to host a fun pot luck with a twist!
By enlisting some SUPER famous names in the food world to recreate some of the recipe submissions he received, you’re likely to spend the whole time open-mouthed and amazed. I know I did!
Do you remember Nana? The adorable tiktok grandma who made her “quarantini”? Well none other than the famous Stanley Tucci took on the challenge of recreating her delectable drink!
Oh the other hand Martha Stewart was given the task of making Polish pirogies from Sarah’s family recipe.
The celebrated chef David Chang — once known for tirades and tantrums as much as pork buns and noodles — is all grown up, and Season Two of his Netflix docuseries ‘Ugly Delicious’ proves it https://t.co/NrAgECF9PG pic.twitter.com/fwLe7hhadH

And David Chang, founder of Momofuku and star of Ugly Delicious whipped up Shannon’s drool worthy creamy chicken. David’s wife said it was the best thing she’s had this whole quarantine time! And I have to admit I so want to make it too it looks amazing.
Guy Fieri took on Penny’s scrumptious Dynamite Sloppy Joe recipe perfect for his trademark diner grub. Wait until you see the ridiculous size of the pot he made. Like really who all is he quarantining with? Plus wait until you see the crazy surprise John reveals for him!
If you, like me, can’t stand the thought of missing ANY of the amazing moments Some Good News has to offer, you’re in luck. Here’s the complete list to work your way through!
You’d think that quarantine would effectively kill any thought of Prom 2020, but it turns out that there was indeed another way! John Krasinski got his Some Good News team on the problem and what they came up with was nothing short of spectacular.
Party guests included Chance the Rapper, Billie Eilish, “The Office” co-star Rainn Wilson and The Jonas Brothers. Across the country and around the world high school students were able to join virtually and dance the night away together, but apart.
After enjoying the prom episode, you’ll want to be sure you’ve seen ALL of the episodes! And I’ll be the first to admit – one viewing isn’t enough. I could watch Episode 2 on a loop all. day. long.
This time of year there’s usually a surge toward baseball and softball fields as the weather warms up and our favorite players take the field. Since this year’s a little (okay, a LOT) different many of us are feeling a hole where the baseball should be.
In this week’s episode of Some Good news (see episode 1 here and episode 2 here) John Krasinski, a bit of a magician and purveyor of good news these days wows us all again by bringing back baseball in an awe-inspiring way. He took the difficult situation and turned it into an opportunity to recognize some of the front line medical workers who have helped keep people cared for.
Not only did he recognize the workers, he gave the unit lifetime season passes to go see the Boston Red Sox play! Hilarious to think that John himself has been on the waiting list for 16 years, haha!
After you see this special return to baseball, you’ll want to be sure you’ve seen ALL of the hilarious and heart-warming goodness Some Good News has to offer!
If you have DIY projects on your mind these days, you’re not alone. It’s gardening season, after all. We’re collectively looking for ways to make home more comfortable for the long haul. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are important considerations. Maybe you’re even considering adding a pool? I’m not sure our level of commitment can match what you’re about to see, though.
This guy is leading the way – and he’s doing it ALL by hand. Well, his hands and some basic hand tools. I never, ever would have guessed that a machete, clay pots and some bamboo stalks could create something so inspiring and incredible. This pool and pool house are amazing.
As if the pool itself weren’t exciting enough, he adds a pool house, steps, flickering lighting, wall decor and lovely landscaping with the same primitive tools and back-breaking effort. He does all of it so smoothly that you wonder if it’s just a thing that comes naturally to people that aren’t you? By the end it looks like a totally normal and reasonable thing anyone could do to their backyard.
After watching that, I’m not sure whether I’m ready to go find a machete and a bucket or take an ibuprofen and a nap. But either way I have a whole new perspective on backyard improvements now!
Zoom calls can be all kids of things. Sometimes they’re fun. Sometimes warm. Sometimes silly. Sometimes boring or too long or every once in a while hilarious because someone doesn’t realize exactly what’s showing up on camera that they might not want everyone to see. But in the case of Episode 2 of John Krasinski’s Some Good News, the Zoom bomb became a magical, amazing, inspiring, incredible thing.
Nine-year-old Emma had tickets to go see Hamilton in April, but because all social gatherings were cancelled, she missed it. Her mom tweeted to say that she’d make to with an at-home viewing of Mary Poppins instead, since it also features Lin Manuel Miranda.
Little did Emma know when she got onto Zoom with John Krasinski that not only would he promise to fly her to New York when it’s all clear and get her in to see the NYC Broadway production, but that he also had a very special, very amazing, very INCREDIBLE surprise in store.
As they’re talking Lin Manuel Miranda, creator and star of Hamilton, appears on screen! As they continue to talk – the rest of the cast from the original production appears as well! They perform Emma’s FAVORITE song, “Alexander Hamilton”.
What follows is nothing short of spectacular. It’s heartwarming and gives us all hope that magic can still happen while we’re distant and that some day we’ll all be able to come out and be together again. It’s a marvel of technology and incredible effort. This team is dedicated to bringing hope and joy and light to the world.
We’re die hard fans of the new show Some Good News. We haven’t missed an episode.
Aren’t we all just FINISHED with bad news these days? It just feels like it keeps coming in bigger and bigger waves of overwhelmingly difficult news. Scenes that used to be found only in feature films about global disaster have become our reality. We try to stay afloat but it feels like you can only ride your own wave of optimism for so long before the wave gets you AGAIN. Ugh.
But actor, comedian and activist John Krasinski felt that overwhelm and got busy putting together a new news show – and one that’s ONLY good news. Some Good News is funny and sweet and inspiring and refreshing and exactly what we need right now. He put a call out on social media to find out what GOOD was happening in the world and he got far more than he expected!
I’ll admit, there’s also a very real possibility that you’ll end up crying your eyes out. But maybe that’s good too, since we’re all needing ways to get all these crazy emotions out.
Once you’ve seen Episode 1 above, you won’t be able to STOP yourself from jumping into Episode 2! It’s even MORE full of surprises!
Mr. Rogers was famous for saying, among other things, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
John Krasinski, by making us laugh and cry tears of joy, is helping us get through these difficult days. He’s a helper, too!
Until we can all get in for our next appointment, this new show will help us get through.
