One episode even included the whole cast of <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDjNX3nEfYo" target="_blank">The Office</a> </em>reuniting through Zoom. It was a show that truly brought people together and that is exactly what Krasinski emphasized in his final episode.</p><div id="91253" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="d738eefbb562d31a7dd1295284a755b0"><blockquote class="instagram-media"

</div></blockquote></div><p> The finale featured the many fans of the show creating their own version of the broadcast from their homes. Krasinski also included several clips of homecomings from COVID-19 survivors, as well as a compilation of some of his favorite moments from the show. Krasinski even gave viewers a closer look into new <em>Some Good News</em> <a href="https://www.sevenly.org/blogs/sevenly/introducing-some-good-merch-some-good-news-official-store" target="_blank">merch</a>, which included anything from T-shirts to bags and mugs. <br/></p><p>When given the chance to say what the show meant to him, Krasinski said: </p><blockquote>"I only deliver the good news. You are the good news. And that's why, every single week, if you can look past the goofy guy wearing half a suit, you'd see what resilience really looks like, what unbroken really means. And through witnessing each and every simple act of kindness and generosity, you would see what the true definition of good really is."</blockquote><p><em>Some Good News </em><em></em>will not be gone for too long! The show was recently bought by <a href="https://www.viacbs.com/" target="_blank">ViacomCBS</a>. Although Krasinski will no longer be hosting the show, he will still be helping produce it and have some screen time. Stay tuned to hear more on when the show will be returning! </p>
