00:00And in the all-too-familiar spirit of stealing intellectual property on this show,

00:04I actually stole your recipes for my dinner party.

00:08John Krasinski delivered some more good news with a good old-fashioned potluck.

00:12On Sunday's episode of Some Good News, Krasinski praised folks in the food industry

00:16who are dedicating their time and resources to people in need

00:19as restaurants remain closed amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

00:23These staples of community and of culture are not only some of the places that are being hit the hardest,

00:28they're some of the places where you can find the biggest heroes.

00:32Some of Krasinski's feel-good stories of the week included a chef who set up kitchens inside churches and stadiums

00:37to feed as many people as possible, a landlord who gave free rent to a New York pizzeria feeding doctors and nurses.

00:44Every single person in that segment that was making food to make a difference,

00:48they were doing it all without charging a dollar because that is just what heroes do.

00:53The SGN host even gave a shout-out to Guy Fieri, who set up a relief fund for restaurant workers.

00:59Tens of thousands of restaurants and three million employees right now that are without jobs,

01:04these folks need some help.

01:05And in the spirit of the food-themed episode, Krasinski decided to host a virtual potluck.

01:10The actor who previously asked viewers for their favorite recipes hosted four of them in a segment called SGN Potluck,

01:16which featured special guests Fieri, Martha Stewart, David Chang, and Stanley Tucci,

01:20all of whom made the recipes the viewers had submitted from their own homes.

01:24Vanilla vodka? She said two shots. That's two shots.

01:28Orange vodka? Two shots. I won't be walking after this.

01:33Krasinski also surprised Fieri with the news that PepsiCo had donated $3 million to the chef's fund,

01:38in addition to what the company had already donated, putting the total amount of money raised around $20 million.

01:44So they're donating $3 million to you, my man.

01:50Are you serious? Yes, I am dead serious.
