Celebrate December with Comedy!

Featuring Jimmy Kimmel, Wilfred Padua, and more.

Happy December! I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Threads, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

And now, the videos you came for:

1. Jimmy Kimmel had a fun pre-debate sketch recently, with impersonations of Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis that I liked a lot:

2. Here’s a new Don’t Tell mini-special with Wilfred Padua that you should absolutely watch:

3. Here’s a fun new compilation from Comedy Central, featuring comedians talking about “being under the influence”:

4. Finally, Netflix just dropped their latest round of short comedy specials, Verified Stand-Up. Here’s a trailer:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
