Happy St Patrick’s 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, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

And now, the har-de-hars you came for:

Jimmy Kimmel interviewed David Letterman this week and it was pretty awesome. Dave talks about Jimmy replacing all of the photos in the theater with pictures of Dave, Jimmy hosting the Oscars, the identity of Cocaine Bear, Tom Cruise not being there, and more:
One of the newest additions to SNL is the inclusion of digital shorts by sketch group Please Don’t Destroy. They’ve got very tight writing/editing and great physical gags. Check out this one on self-defense:
And one more Please Don’t Destroy sketch from last week’s SNL, telling the story of a road trip gone wrong:
Finally, check out my friend Chris Martin, who did a killer set on Corden! Chris ran this set at my showcase Totally here in LA right before taping it so I knew it would be great— and it was!

And that’s all she wrote!
