John Krasinski's Some Good News finds a new home and a new host on CBS All Access

Some good news: John Krasinski's perfect-for-the-pandemic show isn't over for good.

Krasinski aired his last episode of Some Good News — his YouTube show that shares exactly what the name implies — this week, presumably concluding that there was no room to grow after marrying a couple on Zoom. But it turns out Krasinski had bigger plans, namely shopping around SGN until ViacomCBS picked it up in a "massive bidding war," The Hollywood Reporter reports.

Some Good News will appear on CBS All Access, ViacomCBS' streaming service, and then episodes will hop over to "a number of the company's linear networks," The Hollywood Reporter notes. Krasinski will be the show's executive producer, but unlike he did for its YouTube iterations, won't return as host. He'll appear on air at some point, ViacomCBS assured, though the show won't be coming from Krasinski's living room anymore.

Krasinski's star power and ability to draw in high-profile guests and sponsors undoubtedly helped him secure the biggest acquisition of quarantine content yet. Still, viewers may not be as thrilled with virtual reunions and virtual proms and even more virtual reunions once people can actually be together again.
