        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some good news for John Krasinski.</p><p>&#8220;The Office&#8221; star, most recently known for his <strong>YouTube series</strong> &#8220;Some Good News,&#8221; has licensed the viral show to ViacomCBS. Although it&#8217;s unknown exactly how big of a payday this is for 40-year-old Krasinski, it&#8217;s probably hefty: The Hollywood Reporter <strong>describes it as</strong> a &#8220;rich&#8221; licensing deal and there reportedly was a bidding war.</p><p>&#8220;Some Good News&#8221; has been a bright spot of the coronavirus pandemic. While everyone has had to stay in their homes, Krasinski, also known for Amazon&#8217;s &#8220;Jack Ryan&#8221; in his post-Jim Halpert era, has featured a slew of <strong>feel-good programming</strong>, including a &#8220;Hamilton&#8221; performance, reunions of &#8220;The Office,&#8221; online proms and more. He has self-funded and self-produced the weekly series so far, and it&#8217;s gotten up to 17 million viewers.</p><p>Unfortunately, bad news for viewers who are fans of Krasinski. Although he will still produce the show, he&#8217;ll be replaced as the host. (The new face of the show will be named at a later date). It will also migrate from YouTube to CBS All Access and other Viacom-owned platforms.</p><p>&#8220;Could not be more excited and proud to be partnering with CBS/Viacom to be able to bring &#8216;Some Good News&#8217; to so many more people,&#8221; Krasinski told the Hollywood Reporter in a statement. &#8220;From the first episode, our goal was to create a news show dedicated entirely to good news. Never did I expect to be joining the ranks of such a historic news organization as CBS.&#8221;</p><p>So it&#8217;s good news for Krasinski&#8217;s wallet, but bad news for fans of &#8220;Some Good News&#8221; in its current format. Cue a shot of Jim Halpert looking straight at the camera.</p>]]></content:encoded>
