We’re approximately two years into 2021, and it’s been a bumpy ride. With warnings of potential armed demonstrations at state capitols in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, and an impending vote on whether or not to impeach Donald Trump for inciting last week’s insurrection, many of us are understandably feeling anxious. Here to help us get through the next week is America’s extremely reliable and reasonable dad, Tom Hanks. Per Deadline, the actor has been enlisted to host Celebrating America (mmm, should we though), a televised special featuring musical performances and ending with the inauguration of Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on January 20.
