In these scary and uncertain times as people are hunkered down in their homes (as much as possible) during the coronavirus pandemic, John Krasinski has been bringing some fun and heartwarming moments to the internet with his new YouTube show, Some Good News.
It’s exactly what it sounds like with The Office actor posing as a news anchor who definitely doesn’t take himself too seriously and sharing positive stories about people. In previous episodes, he hosted the cast of Hamilton for a virtual concert and chatted with Steve Carell.
And in his latest episode, legendary sports broadcaster Joe Buck — who our Andy Nesbitt previously deemed the GOAT announcer — continued his hilarious run of offering play-by-plays for everyday moments and random “sports” invented by people at home.
Krasinski’s shift to sports in this episode begins just after the 5:20 mark, while Buck joins in about two minutes later, impressively calling a woman playing a version of pop-a-shot with her laundry and some guy racing to empty his dishwasher in less than a minute.
After Buck’s delightful appearance, Kransinski went on to talk about why, in this world without sports, he misses baseball so much.
“For me, and I’m sure a lot of you, the calendar year just really doesn’t feel the same until that Opening-Day pitch is thrown out,” he explained while introducing highlights of kids playing baseball.
Krasinski also celebrated the people in healthcare who are tirelessly working during the COVID-19 outbreak. And he even brought in David Ortiz, the Red Sox and people around Massachusetts for a surprise during a trip to Fenway Park.
