Well that was delightful. <\/p>\n

As part of his new YouTube show Some Good News<\/em>, John Krasinski<\/a><\/strong> hosted a virtual prom<\/a> for high schoolers whose own dances were cancelled because of the coronavirus crisis. Dressed in a spiffy tuxedo, the A-lister called upon celeb pals like the Jonas Brothers<\/a><\/strong>, Billie Eilish<\/a><\/strong> and Chance the Rapper<\/strong> to recreate prom from the comfort and safety of their own homes. <\/p>\n

John’s The Office<\/em> co-star Rainn Wilson<\/a><\/strong> also joined in for a dance party with Chance before the JoBros took the metaphorical stage for a performance of “Sucker.”<\/p>\n

“How about we do one of our songs and since we never went to prom?” Nick Jonas<\/a><\/strong> said. “We could do one of our songs and turn this party up a notch.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Billie and her brother Finneas O’Connell<\/strong> joined next to perform her hit song “Bad Guy.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

After then speaking to some teens (dressed in what they planned to wear to prom), John closed with a touching moment. <\/p>\n

“We are all going through this together,” he shared, “This is a very, very weird time but each and every one of you are missing something and this is the least I could do.”<\/p>\n

Consider our heartstrings pulled. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
