- Class of 2020, what is up?
You thought you weren't gonna
have a graduation this year?
You're crazy!
- [Neha] John Krasinski surprised
the Class of 2020
(air whooshes)
with some "Good News" guests that included
the likes of Steven
Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey.
Krasinski dedicated part
of the latest episode
of his viral YouTube show "Some Good News"
to graduating seniors
that are unable to attend
their own graduation
due to the coronavirus.
- Graduation ceremonies all over the world
have been canceled.
Well, that wasn't gonna stop
the world from still trying.
- [Neha] The actor first had a chat
with several graduating
students via a Zoom call,
and even allowed several to
give their graduation speech.
- Now, and we're gonna
kick it off just like
every other graduation
with our class speakers.
Hit it!
- To my fellow graduates and peers--
- [Neha] He then surprised
four of the graduates
by allowing them to ask
questions to a quartet
of famous faces, Steven
Spielberg, John Stewart,
Oprah Winfrey, and Malala Yousafzai.
- A woman who became a
mother, sister, to me,
Maya Angelou, used to
say to me all the time,
"Baby, God put a rainbow in the clouds."
And this is true, Amanda.
- [Neha] Elsewhere during
the feel-good show,
Krasinski continued to spotlight stories
from around the world of people
doing good deeds for one another,
and employing Samuel L.
Jackson for dramatically
re-enacting one such act for
which there was no video.
- Hey!
Your shirt matches your dog!
I like that about you!
- [Neha] And for his famous
weather update segment,
Krasinski this time enlisted the help
of none other than Ryan Reynolds.
- Ryan, how's it lookin' out there?
- Looks pretty good.

of "Some Good News," head to THR.com.
