Of all the new content coming out of quarantine, John Krasinski’s Some Good News has to top our list. Every week, Emily Blunt’s husband hosts a new show that not only brings us to tears but makes us laugh too. This week's best bit? That came from guest host Brad Pitt, who joined Krasinski as weather reporter for a short but sweet segment.
After discussing all the good news from around the world – including Captain Tom Moore’sincredible £27 million fundraiser for the NHS – Krasinski introduced his weatherman as ‘Brad’, only for Pitt to pop up and poke his head out his window.
What did he have to say about the weather over in the US? ‘Looks pretty good, yeah.’ While he didn’t say much, we certainly got a look into how Pitt is spending his quarantine – his Los Feliz mansion sure does have some nice views of Los Angeles...
The hilarious episode also featured celebrity appearances from the Jonas Brothers, Billie Eilish and Chance The Rapper as they created Prom 2020. That’s right, a bunch of different artists joined in on an Instagram Live to host prom for all the kids missing out on it this year.
‘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 alright?’ Nick Jonas asked Krasinski, to which he replied, ‘That would be the best thing I’ve ever heard.’
Cut to the Jonas Brothers performing Sucker and a bunch of kids at 'prom' dancing along. Billie Eilish then popped up on screen and was joined by her brother Finneas to perform Bad Guy – and yes it was amazing.
Honestly, with all these celebrity appearances coupled with genuine stories of amazing acts of kindness around the world, Some Good News couldn’t get much better at this point.
