[Music]
good evening everybody even though it is
very clearly the afternoon and welcome
to SG n John what is SG n that's a good
question for years now I've been
wondering why is there not a new show
dedicated entirely to good news
well desperately seeking my fix
somewhere else I reached out to all of
you this week asking nay begging for
some good news
and boy did you deliver after reading
those replies and the incredibly
heartwarming stories that came with them
I thought alright enough is enough world
why not us why not now so ladies and
gentlemen this is your fault and this is
sgn I'm John Krasinski and if it isn't
clear yet I have absolutely no idea what
I'm doing and now for some good news and
what a week for good news it was because
yes without question we are all going
through an incredibly trying time but
through all the anxiety through all the
confusion all the isolation and all the
Tiger King somehow the human spirit
still found a way to break through and
blow us all away nowhere was that seem
more powerfully than in the heroism of
the global healthcare community now
these men and women are working day in
and day out they are putting their own
health on the lines they are putting
their own lives on the lines for
complete and total strangers and they're
doing it without the need for so much as
a thank you well luckily the thank-yous
came anyway and the heartfelt
appreciation was seen on a global scale
[Applause]
in Spain police line the street outside
their local hospital and flashed their
lights and applauded their appreciation
for their hospital staff in London and
ICU nurse told her boyfriend she didn't
believe there would be any clapping she
was wrong even out it's see NATO sailors
and staff applaud their health care
heroes back home from their command
centers the decks of their ships and the
love and appreciation was felt right
here at home in the universe whether
from the balconies of lit up apartment
buildings to the old-fashioned
up-close-and-personal kind where a man
holds up a sign simply saying thank you
to the hospital staff for saving his
wife's life and of course you can find
more of those amazing images and videos
on our Facebook page or let's be honest
pretty much anywhere else on the
internet for instance if you're looking
for a more heart-wrenching music video
version just check out this guy's page
or this guy and the good news didn't
stop out there oh no even indoors and
the weird world of isolation good news
was happening everywhere Evon era magic
kicks things off by making kindness
looks super easy as he makes one drivers
delivery extra special
what's up man yeah absolutely
thank you there were reports that in
someone's backyard and honest-to-god
guardian angel was spotted mowing the
lawn nope turns out it was retired
paratrooper art crews just making good
on a promise to his neighbor who's
currently deployed overseas that he
would always be there for him and his
family in Maine a local man bought 100
lobsters to help out a lobster man he
then went to each one of his neighbor's
and delivered them a fully cooked
lobster dinner in Ireland and no I won't
embarrass myself by doing that accent
three generations took place in social
distancing as a grandfather met his
grandson for the first time we also got
to experience three generations of love
this week to kick us off a couple from
Fredericksburg Virginia was supposed to
go to Paris when their travel was
canceled
luckily the romance was not she said yes
but in case anybody was wondering I am
alone in this room
in Michigan an already married couple
proved that the party doesn't ever have
to end throwing on their old wedding
attire they last the day away and in
Alabama for 81 year old John Klein in
his suite and marriage may be old hat
but it is still more romantic than any
other out there and who's in a nursing
home for Alzheimer's is no longer
allowed to have visitors
well that's not gonna stop John from
finding a way to sing to his breath
[Music]
that last video was brought to us by our
friends at inspire more calm sgn may be
a new sight for good news but we are by
no means the first so when you're
looking around the internet for a smile
please check out any of the good news
sites from tanks good news - good news
network org any of them and on a
personal note this week actually brought
a whole lot of good news because it
marked 15 years since this haircut was
born that's right it was the 15th
anniversary of the office and for more
on that story we go now to our
entertainment correspondent Steve Carell
Steve is this working thank God for
Nancy your mom hold on let me just
highly produced show I like it sign
thank you very much my daughter's did it
by the way so beautiful
this will be the graphic at the bottom
of this perfect I love it we're both
looking dapper this is how I am 24/7 I
guarantee you that the bottom half of
what you have on does not match the top
I am definitely wearing jams if anybody
remembers my god so Steve this week
marked a huge anniversary for you and I
we were on a little show called the
office and it turned 15 years old
yes week I mean I was a waiter when I
got that job I was 23 years old I was a
waiter and after the pilot I went back
to waiting tables because I was sure
nothing was gonna happen with it and and
we all kind of came into it with that
vibe I remember none of us
done anything huge it's such a happy
surprise that after all these years
people are still tuning in and finding
it even today it's pretty cool
people always ask these questions I have
to ask you do you have not one obviously
but in your top memories what were some
of your favorite memories all of our
exchange around the the micro
flat-screen TV I finally broke down and
bought myself a plasma TV check it out
the episode dinner party where you said
and when people come over
you just didn't only move that far I
think most of the memories have to do
with things that we shared as a cast you
know when we were doing Fun Run and it
was about 105 degrees outside
fettuccine alfredo
I remember when you when you did the
episode where you played Santa and we're
very upset the Phyllis was already Santa
and so you were asking people to come
sit on your lap and Brian thank God was
chosen to sit on your lap she would like
for Christmas little boy I don't know I
didn't know you were gonna ask me Dad I
didn't know nobody's ever let me sit on
their lap before I was supposed to be
the button of the scene where they cut
to me and I did a Jim face I was never
there I was physically never there but
because by the time they got to the
swish pan to me I was out I was either
on the floor or I had left the room part
of what was so much fun about it is it
everybody in the cast was rooting for
everybody else people would step back
when it was time for other people to
shine and celebrate it like like when
you when you came in as Dwight that day
it was like
it was crazy watching Jim do Dwight and
you're very good Impressionists in
general I don't think it's something
people know Michael oh that's funny
Michael and then also at the same time
the most emotional I've ever been on a
set certainly and I know we've talked
about it but I was sort of hoping that
they wouldn't do your scene and my seem
that the episode where you leave last I
think you and I counted I think it was
either 17 or 19 takes where there wasn't
an audible word that came out it was
just it was just action and then you and
I going I think we should just say
anything advise for tomorrow at lunch oh
okay
and then tomorrow I can tell you what a
great boss you turning out to be best
boss I ever had that was that was really
that was that was tough some of my most
fond memories personally or
professionally are entwined and
connected with them and listen I know
everybody's talking about a reunion
hopefully one day we just get to reunite
as people and just all get to say hi I
mean just to see your face it's so great
I miss you a ton man it's so good to see
you and thank you so much for doing this
we are we are we are trying to start a
news network just for good news and boy
are you good news I really think you're
gonna make something of yourself Steven
I love you and I can't wait to see you
very soon
say hi to Emily love you guys who's that
good bye good ladies and gentlemen Steve
Carell
and finally that brings me to my
favorite good news of the week in
California a fifteen-year-old girl
finally returned home after her last
chemotherapy treatment and well her
friends put on one heck of a social
distancing for more on this story we now
go to my newest hero Coco hello nice to
meet you oh my god this is such an
exciting honor for me you are my newest
and biggest hero thank you so much you
obviously live in a Hallmark card where
no one else drives on their Street and
has all cheering for them and clapping
for them how did that feel I was so
surprised I wasn't expecting anything we
turned the corner and I saw our friends
I saw more friends and my family and I
was just like so many people were there
it was amazing your reaction was amazing
it was just so incredibly incredibly
powerful and so amazing to see your
reaction to it
so you finished treatment how long ago
um I finished remit just on that Tuesday
that was my last that is huge
congratulations to that well thank you
absolutely and it's been amazing to see
this video go everywhere and truly I
don't think I've ever seen such a
genuine reaction to a video where
everyone was completely and totally
blown away and honestly you know you
being the heroes or anything you want to
say it everybody out there yeah um there
are a lot of people like me going
through things that have low immune
systems or everyone that isn't going to
be extremely affected by staying home to
protect people that will be it's like
really amazing and it's like everyone
came together to help the people that
will be affected by it which i think is
really awesome that's awesome what's
amazing about it is I'm doing this very
silly thing of starting a good news
network and a television show where we
only play good news
and I don't know I can do another one
after this because your news there is
you're like the mic drop of all good
news it's over now that's very kind I'm
just I'm literally just posting the
things that people send me like your mom
and I wrote back to your mom and told
her that I cried for a very long time
watching that just pure joy and you guys
rock for for sharing it with the rest of
the world thank you can I say
alas thank you to some of my nurses and
doctors they're all working right now
and so my nurse is on for West in the
infusion center at CH LA and my nurses
and doctors at City of Hope
you are so stellar thank you so much for
spending time with us and for telling us
your story I wish you nothing but the
best and again you put so many smiles on
people's faces now it's your turn go
have a lot of things to be happy about
bye
thank you if that girl isn't the epitome
of pure goodness I don't know what is
and that's it that's our show I'm John
Krasinski this is SGN asking you to
remember that no matter how tough life
can get there's always good in the world
and we will see you next time good night
