In a tweet last week, Krasinski asked people to send him suggestions for #SomeGoodNews.
Alright everybody, how about #SomeGoodNews ! Send me the stories that have made you feel good this week or the things that just made you smile!

Krasinski compiled the replies he received into a YouTube video and built SGN, Some Good News, a new network he’s running entirely out of his home office.
