Debra DiGiovanni Is Absolutely Hilarious

Also: Stephen Colbert, Saturday Night Live, and Jon Stewart

Happy National Hot Chocolate Day! Hi, 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 week.

And now, the videos you came for:

1. I’ve performed with Debra DiGiovanni and she is hilarious! Deb was on Fallon recently, and joked about what it was like to write a book as a person with ADHD, hating small talk, and sleeping with a CPAP machine at night. Enjoy:

2. This music video made me laugh super hard, and I shared it with tons of friends and family, so now I’m sharing it with you all. It’s a Colbert sketch where Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg leads America's tech elite in song to honor our new president. Do yourself a favor and check it out:

3. I thought this Saturday Night Live sketch from last weekend was brilliant. It’s a commercial for a new, innovative way to get men to go to the doctor:

4. Finally, a recent Daily Show segment where Jon Stewart discusses China's new A.I. tool "DeepSeek," and urges Democrats to convince voters of their plan rather than react to Trump's "fascist" first week of executive orders:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
