Tracy Morgan spreads joy and happiness professionally, and it’s nice to know he does it off the clock too. Grocery store employee Erin Sanders wrote on BuzzFeed about how Morgan regularly shows up and chats with her.

He offers advice, takes interest in her personal life and even has progressive views on how men need to respect her more.

Sanders considers Morgan a friend and called him the “nicest celebrity ever.”

While Vanilla Ice’s star may have faded in the 1990s, his sense of joy burns bright. Redditor Anphobia went to one of Vanilla Ice’s concerts in the mid-2000s, and brought one of the artist’s more obscure nu-metal albums to sign.

Vanilla Ice appreciated the gesture and gave Anphobia free bottle service. The two eventually went and partied together, genuinely getting to know each other the entire time.

Redditor ringo_24601 went to their sister-in-law’s wedding in London with an unlikely wedding crasher: Whoopi Goldberg. Goldberg ran into them outside of their hotel, and offered to take photos with the happy bride and groom.

Of course, Goldberg got in a final, perfect one-liner: “It wouldn’t be a Jewish wedding without a Goldberg.”

It’s so comforting to know America’s Dad acts like a goofy dad off screen, too. His list of perfect interactions is long, but our favorite might be the series of selfies he took with a fan who wanted to appear drunk and passed out next to Hanks.

Hanks obliged, giving a perfect performance and making that fan’s day.
