when I thought being five episodes in we were really hitting our stride and

pretty much immune to any semblance of criticism, along comes the internet and

says, "Hi, remember me?" So without further ado, it's time for us once again to get

straight to the notes. And at first the criticism came in merely at the level of

a good schoolyard ribbing through tweets like this one from David Harris, who

writes "I'm a big big fan of Some Good News, though you're spinning the globe

the wrong direction in your opening." Or this one from Eliot M, "John Krasinski, I

love this show. Wondering, in addition to the awesomeness, if you could spin the

globe in the proper direction for the opening? Counterclockwise, looking down."

But then things quickly escalated to passive-aggressive when Greg wrote, "Did

the astronauts happen to mention that you're spinning the globe the wrong way?"

Thanks Greg. Well that ignited Elliot M to fire shot number two with, "The globe, the

globe. Please just spin it the other way. That's all that stands between SGN and

perfection." But the levee finally broke when Melanie from Northwestern North

Carolina wrote, "I can't stand it anymore. The fate of our world is resting in your

hands. Correct the rotational spin of the globe in the opening credits of SGN." Well,

though the bluster was more than slightly hurtful, the message was

received loud and clear. The problem was, how do I fix it? Lucky for me, my deepest

fears of the Internet conspiring against me came true, as my two seemingly

greatest enemies finally came together, the day science teamed up with fan art.

I'm John Krasinski.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

This is SGN. Good evening everyone, and welcome back to SGN. I'm John

Krasinski, and now that our opening is not only accurately portraying science,

but also my very own personal dance moves, it's time for some good news. And

heading into week six the world had certainly found its stride as good news

can be found everywhere. In Troutman, North Carolina lives one of the

biggest Jeep fans of all time. His name is Caleb, and he just turned eight this

week. Not wanting quarantine to ruin his

birthday, his mother simply posted on a message board to see if anyone wanted to

help make her son's day a special one. Well, she got a few responses. "We had a

great turnout today and we ended up with 310 Jeeps. Great outpouring of support

for a special kid." "This is the best birthday present ever." Speaking of birthdays, last week we covered the incredible

story of Captain Tom Moore, who single-handedly has now raised over 36

million pounds for NHS charities. The even more incredible story?

He turned 100 this week, and well, he got the birthday wishes that a hero deserves.

In Hartfordshire, England, this family found out the Olympics were cancelled.

Their response? Nah. In Albany, California, these two little girls had the simple,

yet game-changing idea of simply going out into the street and shouting

compliments at people. Sadly, no video footage exists, so we here at SGN had to

make our first dramatic recreation. "Hey, your shirt matches your dog. I like that about

you." They could also be heard yelling this. "I don't know but if you have hair under that hat, but if you do, I'll bet

it's beautiful." And perhaps my very favorite compliment was this: "Your dog's

face is almost as cute as my face when I was a baby." In Watertown, Massachusetts,

after 61 years of being married, one 88 year-old man didn't take

kindly to the idea that he wasn't allowed to see his bride in her nursing

home. The only problem was, her room was on the third floor. "When he got up top

there, they kind of put their hands on the screen of the window, at

that point I teared up." "I asked my wife, 'How much do you love me?' and she

said 'more than you know.'" In New York City, outside hospitals, police and fire

departments have applauded their health care heroes every single night at 7 p.m.

Well, this week, one FDNY firefighter decided to take his gratitude to a whole

new level.

And having absolutely nothing to do with anything, but quite possibly the best

news story of the year, I'm finally an action figure. And it's time once again

for a check on the weather. Ryan, how's it looking out there? Ryan Reynolds: "Looks, uh, it's pretty

good." Thanks Ryan. Well this week, Spring has finally sprung,

bringing once again the season of beauty, the season of new beginnings, and the

season of graduations. That's right, the big days of celebrating one of young men

and women's true rites of passage is upon us, but due to the current bizarre

circumstances, graduation ceremonies all over the world have been canceled.

Well, that wasn't going to stop the world from still trying.

But, let's be honest with ourselves. No matter how positive we stay, no matter

how hard we try, we all know there's only one way to truly commemorate this

momentous occasion, and that is by having a graduation. So, I just thought, let's do

it.

Class of 2020, what is up? You thought you weren't gonna have a

graduation this year? You're crazy. "Is that John?" "Yeah, this is me.

Yes, get that hat on. Do it." "I've got to." John: "Alright, Class of 2020, let's roll call.

What is your name? Where are you from? Shout it out."

Ashley: "Ashley Hill, Brigham Young University." Negin: "My name is Negin, University of Bath." John: "Nice."

Scott: "I'm Scott Johns, Northwestern University." Emma: "I'm Emma, I am graduating from..." John: "I think you might be in the running for cutest

graduate. No, no, no, Emma, the kindergartner. Class of 2020 it's time. The SGN

graduation starts right now, and we're gonna kick it off just like every other

graduation with our class speakers. Hit it." "To my fellow graduates and peers. Not

watching from the bleachers on our field, but rather watching from behind a screen.

Today, we might not have a grand stage to walk across to celebrate this moment, but

we will be walking through history. Congratulations.

We made it. It is my honor to represent the class of 2020 as your valedictorian. Let's

pretend that I look like this while I'm talking. Tony Stark once said that part of the

journey is the end. Never did we expect the ending of our high school and

collegiate careers to end with us in our living rooms. These last three months

that were supposed to be the best three months of our school careers have just

been ripped away from us. But the thing about crises, is that it brings out the very best in humanity. This is something that really unites us. I've

seen many of you all in the Class of 2020 lead mutual aid collectives to help

underserved communities affected by COVID-19. It is more important now

than ever to show the world what we can accomplish. And it's a time of

reflection, a time to reevaluate and decide what kind of person you want to

be in the world. In my experience, the strongest people are always those that

have experienced the worst but have come out on top anyway. It's our thoughts, our

feelings ,our actions that make up who we are, and I implore you all to never

forget that. Class of 2020 has a very unique

opportunity to be able to lead by example. We have the resilience to

overcome any setback or obstacle that comes our way. We did it despite

everything that's happening. Can't nobody take our pride, can't nobody hold us down.

We are stronger together ,and together there is nothing we cannot do. Here's to

the Class of 2020. You've earned this. You all give me hope in humanity and that we

can overcome this together. Congratulations.

Peace. Turn those tassels, baby. We did it. I love you guys. Yes, that was incredible,

and I'll be honest, that is way better than any other class speaker I've seen,

and I've seen two. So, that was amazing, thank you all for that. Thank you to

everyone who participated, every one of our class speakers, that was incredible.

Alright I gotta keep moving this thing along here. Now hold on. I was trying to

grad out with you guys, but it's time for me to get official. Okay, I've got to MC

this thing. Alright, so let me check my notes. I'm pretty sure it is. Yep, it is.

It's time. Class of 2020, get ready to meet your commencement speakers, but gotta

warn you. We're gonna do it a little bit differently here at the SGN graduation,

because last year I gave a commencement speech of my own, and I was absolutely

terrified. So not wanting to put anybody else in that situation, I came up with

another idea. This week I reached out to all of you and asked you to send me a

question that you would love to ask your commencement speaker, and a whole lot of

you did. The result? How about we don't have a commencement speech, we have a

commencement conversation? John: "Ben." Ben: "John, how are you?" John: "I I felt like we had to

highlight you. You're such an incredibly intelligent kid, an ambitious kid, a

positive kid, and so that's all the things we need on this show and in life."

Ben: "Thank you John, I really appreciate that." John: "I wanted to bring someone who has

inspired me my whole life to answer the question for you." Ben: "Oh my god!"

John: "Maybe you can ask the question to him." Ben: "Hi, Steven, oh my goodness."

Steven Spielberg: "Hi Ben. How are you? Your wish is my command. What can I do for you?" John: "Hello." Meklit: "Hi" John: please it is so nice to

"It is so nice to meet you." Meklit: "It's so nice to meet you. I'm such a big fan." John: Oh

my god, I'm such a big fan of yours. Are you kidding me? I've been doing a deep

dive into you because I saw your tweet and I've been learning all about you. Oh, my

god, you are one of the most impressive people I know, let alone someone being so

young." Meklit: "Oh, my god." John: I don't know if you know this person. She's a huge inspiration to

me and this is, I don't know if you know Malala?" Malala: "Hi, how are you?" Meklit: "I'm good. How are you? I'm such a big fan."

Malala: "I'm good. Thank you. Very nice to see you." Meklit: "I actually wrote a paper about you in ninth grade."

Malala: "Thanks. What was it about?" Meklit: "It was about who inspires you and why and I chose you."

Malala: "Thanks, that means a lot. Thank you." John: "Amanda. Hi. It is so nice to meet you. I

have heard all about you and it is blowing my mind.

So first of all, you're graduating from Harvard." Amanda: "Yes." John: "So, achieve something one day, that would be

great. You've been named the first youth poet laureate in the country's history?"

Amanda: "Yes, that is correct." John: "Here's the deal. I'm not smart enough to answer your question, but

I do know someone who is. She's an inspiration of mine and I hope an

inspiration yours. I don't know if you know this person." Oprah Winfrey: "Amanda!" Amanda: "Oh my god!" John: "John!"

John Knitter: "I love the outfit." John Krasinski: "It's so nice to meet you. Congratulations. You're graduating today.

I didn't know if you knew. By the way, this is your diploma." "Oh my gosh, thank you." "It is so

nice to meet you, man. Thank you for submitting a great question and I do

have someone that I think can answer your question very well and bring some

enlightenment to your life. This is a friend of mine." "Oh my gosh, Jon Stewart."

Jon Stewart: "Hey man." "Hey Jon, how are you doing? Tt's the three Johns!" John Krasinski: "We're

gonna swap a lot of stories when we go on the road together as the three Johns."

John: "Steven, Ben had a really profound question that I thought would inspire so

many people watching this show, so he's gonna ask it to you. Take it away, Ben."

Ben: "Yeah, how do you still all your dreams when it feels like the world isn't so

supportive of them?" Meklit: "My question was if you can tell you younger self one thing,

what would it be?" Amanda: "Well, now that I'm asking it to you, the question was think

about a time in your life that felt like a low point at the moment, but actually

changed everything for you." Oprah: "Oh, I so love that question. It feels like therapy." John Knitter: "My

question as I'm a graduate is, now what?" Jon Stewart: "Now what?" John Knitter: "Yeah. Now what?"

Jon Stewart: "Let me tell you something, that is the question." Steven: "Well, you know, dreams are great tests because a

dream is going to test your resolve, and you're going to know a dream from a pipe

dream. You're gonna know a dream from just sort of a casual brush with

something that got you excited and then it evaporates. The real dream is

something that not only hangs on to you, but you will hang on to it. And it will

power you through every obstacle that people and the environment will throw

against you. Because if we're in service of our dreams versus our dreams begin

service to us, it becomes something greater. It allows us to be game, and it

allows us to get over our fear and to go forward no matter what obstacles are

thrown in our path." Malala: "Regarding what I would say to my younger self,

I would just tell myself that believe in your voice, continue speaking and don't give

up. Society tries to define us and tries to limit us, so I would say just do

not listen to that, ignore all of that and believe in yourself and continue

what you strongly believe in and what you want to do." Meklit: "Thank you so much, yes, that's

such amazing advice. Thank you." Oprah: "There have been several times in my life, Amanda, when

things didn't go the way I wanted. This is actually the most

influential in my life, it was the most impactful, because it was the first time.

I was 22, I got this big job working in television as an anchor on the news in

Baltimore. And I was placed with an older gentleman who didn't want me to be there,

but I didn't know that. I came in for the fall of '76, by April 1st, 1977 I'm being

called in by the bosses and told that I am no longer going to be needed on the

news. I thought it was an April Fool's joke. Anyway, I get demoted. I am

humiliated, I am embarrassed. I know that they are waiting to fire me. What they

did was, instead of firing me, put me on the local talk show. The day I did my
