Happy November! Hello, 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, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

3. Phil Hanley released a great special recently that you can watch for free. I loved it, he’s a great joke writer. Check it out:

4. Comedy Central just released this fun compilation video of several Godfrey bits, where he tackles trick-or-treating, Alabama football, and his feud with a bodega cat:

That’s all, folks! See ya next time.
