John Krasinski Hosts a Virtual Prom Tonight
  • Actor John Krasinski revealed that he will be hosting a virtual prom for high school students affected by the coronavirus.
  • He posted the announcement to Instagram in the form of a TikTok video.
  • The prom will be livestreamed as part of his Some Good News YouTube series.

Have The Office fans ever wondered what it would be like to have someone they watched for 188 sitcom episodes host one of their events? Well, Jim Halpert is about to make the Class of 2020s days just a bit brighter, as John Krasinski revealed that he will be DJ-ing a virtual prom in partnership with his new YouTube series Some Good News for those forced to miss theirs due to the COVID-19 pandemic .

Calling it the #SGNProm, the Office star took to his Instagram to post a TikTok video of the announcement, initially wearing the classic prom attire of a suit and bow tie in front of a sparkly background before quickly switching to a stained T-shirt and pink headphones (I wonder which daughter he borrowed those from).

Confused? Me too, Krasinski tells the camera in typical Jim Halpert fashion. For all you missing prom, Im hosting this Friday night! He further elaborated in his caption, telling those wishing to attend to click the for their invitation to the YouTube livestream link. (Im personally hoping that Krasinski throws on a little Creed Bratton or maybe a remix of the The Office theme song to the dance playlist).

Krasinski gave little teasers of his newest venture to his followers throughout the week, when he posted a throwback photo of himself attending his own high school prom on Wednesday. Maybe he'll bring the original suit he wore to prom for old time's sake?

Throughout the pandemic, Krasinski has made it a mission to be the one to deliver good news with the help of his YouTube series. He recently scored healthcare workers at a local Boston hospital lifetime tickets to the Red Sox, along with organizing a Hamilton cast reunion to surprise a young fan who couldn't make it to her first Broadway show amid COVID-19. And of course, he couldnt leave out his legion of Office fans, making the first episode a cast reunion with none other than Michael Scott himself, Steve Carell.
