Krasinski will no longer host. To see the future episodes, you need a subscription to the streaming service CBS All Accessor wait for the episodes to be moved to “a set of the company’s linear networks,” The Hollywood Reporter reported Thursday. (ViacomCBS owns MTV, Nickelodeon, CBS, Comedy Central, and more.)

“Couldn’t be more excited and proud to work with CBS / Viacom to bring good news to so many people!” Krasinski said Thursday in a statement. “From the first episode, our goal was to create a news program that was devoted to good news only. I never expected to be in the ranks of a historic news organization like CBS.”

The opportunity to sell the self-financed news program he had created from his office was reportedly gone from Krasinski from day one. After the first episode in March with a mini The reunification of the office With Steve Carrell, who went viral, Krasinski received a flood of requests from broadcasting networks and streaming services, according to the reporter’s sources.

The reactions of the fans on Twitter were mixed.

“Well, that’s disappointing and not good news at all,” tweeted a fan. “I hope @johnkrasinski and @somegoodnews have added a way to make access accessible to everyone, not just subscribers.”

However, others were more optimistic.

“It is great to see that a small idea that he originally funded himself to bring joy to these difficult times produces such great content that it was eventually acquired,” tweeted a fan.
