Get to Know Tone Bell in Seven Jokes

Also: Lea'h Sampson, Saturday Night Live, and The Tonight Show

Happy I Love My Feet Day! 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, Threads, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

Note: There will be no newsletter next week. Enjoy yourselves, don’t get into trouble, and I will return the week after that.

And now, the funny videos you came for:

1. Tone Bell is hilarious. If you aren’t familiar with him, Comedy Central has a new video where you can get to know him in seven jokes:

2. I just discovered Lea'h Sampson, and so should you. Here’s her new Don’t Tell set:

3. The strike has Saturday Night Live on hiatus, but they’re still thinking about us. Here’s a summer-themed compilation of their best camping sketches:

4. And a little bonus from The Tonight Show— this new reel of last season’s most-watched cold-open sketches:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
