Latest Cool Dad Project: Some Good News

During the first weeks of coronavirus lockdown, when the news threatened to bury Americans under a wave of horror, Krasinski took it upon himself to become a much-needed source of positivity with his web series “Some Good News.” Filmed in his home, the show, which is basically Weekend Update but nice, was the coronavirus counterprogramming we needed. Featuring celebrities, wholesome interactions, and, well, lots of good news, it cemented Krasinski’s status as the heir-apparent to Tom Hanks. A father of two with wife Emily Blunt, Krasinski probably talks too much about his happy kids and his happy marriage. Good for him.
