Featuring: Kevin Nealon, Dan LaMorte, Jimmy Carr, and Matt Braunger

Happy National Words With Friends Day! 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. The news has been dark lately, so all of my choices this week are fun distractions. Here’s a fun special Kevin Nealon released in April:

2. Comedian Dan LaMorte jokes about living life on the spectrum, the new pride flag in town, and his weight loss hack in his Don't Tell set:

3. Jimmy Carr released a fun compilation featuring a bunch of his best “comedian destroys heckler” moments:

4. Matt Braunger’s brilliant new special “Doug” tackles fatherhood, “Roadhouse,” his marriage to a Pirate Queen, driving 3,300 miles with a baby during a pandemic, and a terrible dad-bro named Doug, plus there’s a twist ending:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
