Nick and Joe Jonas are at your 2020 prom.
Some Good News/YouTube
The next episode of Some Good News is here! John Krasinski has been touting a virtual prom for high schoolers holed up at home, and on Sunday, he delivered. Balloons, streamers, full-on DJ set and, yes, the Jonas Brothers in tow, Krasinski put on a show to rival every teen movie. (Jump to 12:33.)
The YouTube show, created to shine a light on all the ways people are helping and entertaining each other in this time of lockdown, has a reputation for the spectacular, from celebrity cameos to grand gestures for those deserving.
This week on episode 4, Krasinski went above and beyond — to space. Astronauts on the International Space Station flashed a floating SGN banner with a background no Zoom conference could ever top: the colossal curve of the Earth, shrouded in cloud.
As for celebrity cameos, Brad Pitt filled in for Robert De Niro as SGN’s weather reporter. Yes, you read that right. (Jump to 6:55.)
Krasinski then proceeded to throw the biggest names together in organizing a virtual prom for the class of 2020. He consulted ex-The Office costar Rainn Wilson, Chance the Rapper and the Jonas Brothers, who performed Sucker via Zoom for those dressed up in their bedrooms.
And then the capper: Billie Eilish and her brother and songwriting partner Finneas O’Connell dropped by to perform Bad Guy. Class of 2020, hope you enjoyed virtual prom.
