Fahim Anwar on Overprotective Moms and Poor Dancing Skills

Also: Jon Lovitz, David Gborie, Andy Samberg, Jonah Hill, Norm Macdonald, and Ed Norton

Happy Geoff’s Birthday! That’s right, tomorrow’s my birthday, so I’m calling it a national holiday. 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.

And now, the laughs you came for:

1. I’ve performed with Fahim Anwar and he is absolutely hilarious. He did a great set on Fallon last week where he talks about waiting patiently to deboard the plane when flying, his overprotective mom and women that overestimate their dancing abilities:

2. A new Jon Lovitz cameo! Lovitz portrayed pathological liar George Santos on Fallon recently and totally nailed it. A must-watch:

3. David Gborie’s 2019 special from Comedy Central is now free to watch on YouTube! In this performance, he explains why he’s bad at dirty talk, describes the game he plays when he’s unemployed, and compares doing cocaine to peeing your pants:

4. Comedy Central released another fun roast reel. Andy Samberg, Jonah Hill, Norm Macdonald, and Ed Norton take the stage for the “nicest roasts of all time”:

That’s all, folks!
