After the world was affected by the great pandemic known as the Coronavirus (COVID-19), celebrities and other influencers have taken to the World Wide Web in order to keep the public positive during a time so rough.

Celebrities including artists Keith Urban and John Legend, actress Jennifer Garner and former First Lady Michelle Obama have taken use of the internet for good. From reading books, to live (via social media) free concerts, these celebrities have created just a little more positivity, just when the world needs it. John Krasinski, an actor from NBC’s, The Office, created a YouTube series titled, “Some Good News”.

He uses this platform to share strictly good news given the negativity surrounding our minds during this scary pandemic. He recently hosted, and invited celebrities to co-host virtually alongside him. The list of co-hosts included artists Billie Eilish, the Jonas Brothers, and Chance the Rapper, in an effort to make up for the loss of the prom for the graduating class of 2020.

Anna Forte, a graduate of Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School class of 2016 says, “I can’t imagine not having a prom. It’s something you just always assume is going to happen before you leave high school. You kind of take it for granted.” She continues, “I can’t imagine not having a ‘normal’ senior year of high school.  Unfortunately, a virtual prom is the best that a lot of seniors are going to get given the situation right now. It’s awesome that someone as big as John Krasinski is giving them that opportunity.”

Josh Gad, known for his voice of the fun-loving snowman, Olaf, from the Disney Frozen movie, took to Twitter to read books to audiences around the world. Gad stated in his live Twitter video, “So, since we’re all stuck at home right now, I figured we would have a little fun together.”
