Even the criticism John Krasinski gets from viewers of his YouTube good-news show is adorable, at least from the samples he read on Sunday night's Some Good News. After some good news, Samuel L. Jackson dramatically recreating shouted compliments, and Ryan Reynolds' weather report, Krasinski got down to the main event: graduation. He made up special SGN diplomas that he sent to his virtual Class of 2020, convened over video chat, and some of his graduating students read snippets of the speeches they would have given. But the big treat was the four commencement speakers, each paired with a question a student submitted. You might just find some inspiration for yourself, too. Peter Weber
