The feel-good viral show signed off after eight quarantine episodes produced and hosted by Krasinski before his triumphant announcement that he'd sold the show to ViacomCBS was met with an instant fan backlash.

It certainly wasn't the good news John Krasinski was likely expecting when he shared in on the big announcement that his viral quarantine sensation, "Some Good News," had been sold to ViacomCBS after a massive bidding war.

Then, the next word anyone got was that he'd sold it to ViacomCBS, with no real explanation like he'd just laid out to Wilson.

Instead, fans were left to think that he'd sold out, taking this fun and quirky little thing he'd made available for free to help people through a challenging ordeal and then cashing out when the money was good -- and after a bidding war, it surely was.

That way he could share and explain to everyone just how this was good news for the show, and why he felt it was necessary to go this route with his project.

On the "good news" front, since that's what we're looking for here, Krasinski did expand on the announcement's statement that he would be stepping away from hosting the show, while only promising some uncertain "on-air presence.".
