Jimmy Fallon had an idea to help viewers and news anchors feel better. To counter all the bad news being reported, The Tonight show asked NBC news anchors across the U.S. to read stories that make us happy…And they did! What news makes you happy? Whatever it is, you’re in luck, because they’ve got good news, and even better news too!
For example, in politics:
We’ve waited a long time to hear Republicans and Democrats announce that they have put aside their differences, and vowed to get along for the betterment of the country.
Onto the weather: There is a one hundred percent chance of puppy hugs today! In related news, there is a 50% chance of being tolerated by your cat.
General feel-good news:
You are a fantastic, unique and wonderful person. To borrow from Stuart Smalley, you’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.
You’re okay – I’m okay…But I’d be cheered by the news that Cheryl, the insufferably snotty high school cheerleader is now a moody, tent-wearing mother of 18 who has never lost the baby fat of each subsequent pregnancy. Furthermore, to learn that she is stuck in our home town, where the lighted Christmas Tractor Parade is the highpoint of the year would be the cherry on top. Meow I guess you have to have known her.
