John Fabritski: "I'm John Fabritski and here's some
good news.
Earlier this week, Batman," Batman: "I'm Batman."
John Fabritski: "Donated his collection of masks to the
people of Legoland.
Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, Hagrid did a
virtual masterclass on how to disappear
from your family. Remember, there's always
some good news." John Krasinski: "Well that'll do it for
all of us here at SNG. The sheer number
of copyright infringements in that video
are so staggering there are literally
not enough lawyers to get me out of this
one. So genuinely not knowing how long I
have left,
we better get straight to the good news.
[Music]
For the past few weeks we've been
covering the front lines and its many
heroes, but those heroes aren't just the
ones wearing scrubs. It's not only the
nurses and doctors that are putting
their lives on the line every single day.
From grocery store employees, to utility
technicians, from police and fire to
sanitation and transportation, and of
course, the many delivery men and women.
There is a network of people that are
not only keeping their companies afloat
they're keeping this country alive
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Mailman Kyle: "If you are at risk and you need help
getting essential items, let me know and
I will do what I can to help. It says
Mailman Kyle and my phone number. I
delivered a little under 400 of those
notes and I have heard something from
pretty much every person." John: And as if
showing up each day to rise to the
challenge wasn't enough,
these heroes somehow find the strength
to do it all with a little extra joy in
their hearts.
[Music]
In one of my absolute personal favorites,
this UPS driver hops off his rig in the
only way one should.
[Music]
In Long Beach, California, these
restaurant workers let us know they are
essential in more ways than one.
[Music]
In a nearby retirement home one public
utility worker found out that this woman
wasn't able to have visitors for her
94th birthday, so he decided to be her
birthday gift. [Singing Happy Birthday]
In, Krabi, Thailand these
sanitation workers took disinfecting the
neighborhood to a whole new level. And
where were the rest of the Avengers? at
Trader Joe's.
[Music]
And this level of joy is contagious,
echoing its way across the globe. For
more on that, we go to our newest SGN
correspondent, Rap the News Anoop. Anoop!
And I do not rap. In the UK, Captain Tom Moore
set out to raise £1,000 for
NHS charities by completing laps around
his garden. Well, this week he completed
his final laps and ended up raising over
20 million pounds. "They're calling for a
knighthood for you." "Sir Thomas Moore sounds
very good." In Florida, the Palm Beach
Animal Care and Control had plenty to
celebrate as their kennels were
completely empty for the first time in
history, with every single dog adopted. In
Basilicata, Italy, when close just isn't
close enough, these neighbors had to get
creative.
And this week something extraordinary
happened. Yoy not only echoed across the
globe, it echoed its way right out of
this world. "Tonight we're bringing you
some good news from ISS.
[Music]
There is so much good news happening in
the space world right now. This year, we
will be celebrating 20 years of a
continuous human presence onboard the
International Space Station. We've been
up here conducting thousands of
experiments that help benefit life back
on earth. "To help with isolation, we break
up our work day every single day with
exercise, eating, looking out the window,
and connecting with our friends and
family.
What do you guys think? Should we do a
backflip?" "As awesome as it's been to
live and work here for so long, it's
super good news that Jessica and I will
soon return to Earth in just less than a
week. And it's gonna be great to hug my
wife and kids again though I'm not
really looking forward to gravity. All
right, one last look at the earth. This is
some good news. The earth is still
beautiful. An earth in crisis is still
on Earth worth returning to." "See you
later, SGN."
[Music]
What just happened? SGN just transmitted
from the International Space Station? I'm
gonna need a second to catch my breath.
We should do a check on the weather. Brad,
how's it looking out there?
Brad Pitt: Looks uh, pretty good,
yeah. John: Thanks Brad. And now we head back to
a segment we like to call What Did I
Miss?
There is so much we are all missing
during this crazy time, from sporting
events, to concerts, birthday parties, to
weddings, but this week there was one
thing most kids were missing more than
anything else,
prom.
[Music]
But there was one girl in particular
that stole our hearts because, when she
found out prom was cancelled she thought
she'd be okay.
Her dad begged to differ.
[Music]
For more on that story, we go now to our
restoring faith in all humanity
correspondent, Marli Odgers. Hi, Marli.
Marli: How are you? John: I'm doing fantastic. How are
you doing? Marli: I'm great.
John: I love your accent. You must be from New
York. Marli: I am from Alabama. John: Marli: I have to tell you, this
video, your whole...are your parents there? I
need to I need to meet them. There he is.
Robby: How are you sir? John: I'm doing very well, also
very intimidated. You look jacked and
in very good shape. Robby: I don't know
about that. John: No, I do know about it. And I'll tell you right now, I
am retiring as Jack Ryan. You got it. Tt's
over. No, you guys, it was it was truly my
favorite story this week, and that's why
we're calling you. But I'm also calling
to tell you that I was completely
inspired by you guys. And especially you,
Robby, so I don't know if you've heard,
but I'm gonna throw from for every kid
in the world tonight. And I would
like you to be one of my dates. I would
love you to help me DJ this prom if you
want to come in and hang out with us and
maybe meet a couple of my friends. Robby: That's so cool you're doing that though.
That is so awesome.
Absolutely. John: Well it's so nice to meet you.
And Dad, congrats on Jack Ryan. And we will see
you tonight. And that is when the genuine
terror set in. After my soon call with
Marli, it was excruciatingly clear that
there was no turning back.
[Music]
And with only minutes left before going
on, I can honestly tell you I have never
been more scared in my entire life. Not
only was I going live for the first time
ever, but I was quite literally the least
prepared human on earth to do so. So what
did I do?
I hit start. Yes! Welcome to prom, class of
2020. We're all doing it safe from home.
Thank you for coming. I have a couple
guests online. Let's try to bring in some
of these folks. Rainn, have you been? Rainn Wilson: I've
been pretty good,man. How are you? John: I'm
doing great.
As you can see, my life couldn't be
getting any better. I throw proms now. Rainn: So
what do you got going on next,
John? John: I'm gonna play one of my favorite
artists.
His name's Chance the Rapper and I love
his music. So this is one of my favorite songs.
Rainn: Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop it right there. No,
no, no, John - John: Just let the music
happen. Rainn: John. You can't just play the song.
You have to get permission from the
artist, the publishing company, etc like
that. There's legal formalities. John: Chance, can I
get the permission to play your song on
this prom? Chance the Rapper: Sure, yeah,
no problem. John: Okay, great. He's pretty
confident that I could play this, Rainn. So
oh, are you surprised that I have
Chance the Rapper at my prom? Rainn are
you crying? I think you're crying. Rainn: A little bit.
Chance: I love you, Rainn Wilson. Rainn: I love you, Chance. John: Guys, this is a beautiful moment.
Chance: Prom 2020!
John: Dude, thank you so much for stopping by. Rainn,
you're the worst
and I told you that I could do whatever
I want on this show. Rainn: John, listen, you
can't just play songs that are in your
iTunes library or Spotify. John: They're actually
on iPods. Rainn: That's not how it works. That's
not what being a DJ is. You need
performances. John: Okay, fine.
I've got I've got one thing on my sleeve.
Okay? Oh. Joe Jonas: Let's go! Nick Jonas: Hello. John: Wait, we're missing a Jonas. Hold on. Wait.
Wait, Kevin, where are you? Kevin! Joe: It's home
alone all over again. John: Full Jonas. Yes!!
Nick: Since we never went to prom and
because we want to share this
experience with everyone staying safe at
home, we could potentially do one of our
songs if that's all right.
Try to turn this party up a notch. John: That
would be the best thing I've ever heard.
Nick: Let's do it.
John: Rainn, let's do it. All right, guys. Hold on, Rainn.
Rainn: He's got a nice house. Look at
that stonework.
[Music]
John: You guys, class of 2020, the Jonas
Brothers. The Jonas Brothers. Marli, Jonas
Brothers. Marli: Yeah, that's insane John: That was
insane, right? Marli: Insane. John: Did you guys dig that?
Robby: Oh yeah, oh she was dancing and moving
around and cutting up for sure. So yeah,
she was all into it. John: I was gonna say,
Robbie what about you? I mean how was the
cutting up happening for you? Robby: I actually got down and
did the worm across the concrete. John: Yes,
that is amazing.
Well, here's the deal. I was gonna end but
I actually have one one other friend
that wanted to stop by. She's extremely
special to me as an artist, but also we
go way back because she's actually a fan
of a show I did called La Oficina. Billie
Eilish is in the house! Billie: Hello, John. John: Did you
go to prom, Billie? Billie: I have never really
been to prom. I went to one homeschool
prom which, let me tell you, it's not prom
at all. John: Listen, I cannot thank you enough
for being here. And I know that you have
said you wanted to perform, which is
insane. You do not have to do that. I
don't even know where your
brother is. Is he allowed? Are you guys in
the same...Oh, there he is! Finneas: John, seeing all the effort you put into this
with the balloons in your room and the
glowsticks and the glasses. Billie: We were
watching you finish it. Finneas: It pulls on my
heartstrings because it makes me want to
cry. Whenever a dad does anything that's
super nice and wholesome, it makes me
want to cry.
John: Really? I love that you think I'm a dad first because I think I'm a dad
first too. Finneas: No one that isn't a dad would
ever put so much love and care into
something so nice for a bunch of
seventeen year olds. Nobody. Only
dads. John: Oh, thank you dude. I really
appreciate that.
Do you guys want to play a song?
Finneas: Absolutely. Billie: We're here. Why not? John: Oh my god, ladies and
gentlemen. Billie Eilish.
[Music]
John: Yes! Mic drops. Mic. Wait, hold on. I have
my toy mic from my children. I think it
just broke.
And now just glowsticks are going mental.
The show's over guys. Oh my god. You guys,
thank you so much for doing this. Thank
you so much for coming to prom 2020. It
happened. Billie: It happened. John: These kids just got
a prom. You guys are the best. I
absolutely adore you guys. I've been big
fans of yours forever. The fact that you
use The Office and a song blew my brain
out. And I I don't think I've fully
recovered ever. Billie: Thank you for being you,
John. Thank you, John. John: Bye guys. And that's it.
Class of 2020. The craziest, weirdest prom
just happened. I cannot thank you all
enough for being here. We earned it all
together. We earned this.
There is way too much technology around
me. I have cameras everywhere. I have an
iPhone for real just playing wedding
lists in case we needed that. I didn't
know what we were in for. I didn't know
if any of my friends would show up, but
they all did. And guess what guys? I have
to be honest, they did not show up for me.
They showed up all for you and I really
need you to know that. We are all going
through this together. This is a very,
very weird time. But each and every one
of you are missing something and this is
the least I could do. And I
couldn't be more proud to do it. So thank
you all for coming. And that was it. My
living nightmare had come to an end, and
so has this episode. Thank you to
everyone who made SGN prom so very
special. I am John Krasinski. This is SGN,
asking you to remember no matter
how hard things get, there is always good
in the world. And to take us out of here.
the real hero of SGN prom, DJ D-Nice. See
you next time everybody.
